I'm saddened to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. He had such a loving heart to everyone him came in contact with. He'll be a great addition to Heavens realm. I know we miss him but just think about the streets of gold he is "running, jumping, dancing or just walking" on at this moment. What a sight! My family's prayers are and will continue to be sent for you during this difficult time.

First of all, I want to give Jesus Christ,my precious Lord and Savior, all the praise, all the honor, and all the glory for just being in my life and saving me. I am nothing without Jesus. On this earth, my dear brother Jimmy led his life serving our precious Lord Jesus to the very end. He was very strong and very brave to the very end. He suffered very much towards the end. But he would tell you not as muuch as the Lord suffered on the cross for us. I am proud that he will always be my brother. He was always there for my precious parents when they needed him the most. He is in the presence of the Almighty God. Thank you Jim for the people you brought to knowing Jesus Christ as their Savoir. I will see you again soon. I love you. Gene and Doug love you. Praise Jesus! It's a celebration. Jill "Welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save our souls." James 1:21
