In memory of my dearest dad: I will always remember you as a man of stalwart character, always standing for right and truth, and never wavering from what you believed in! Thank you for passing that on to me, and especially passing on your faith! I will never forget the times I would be sick or scared, and you would pray for me with complete faith. God always honored that faith, and would reward with answered prayer. I'll never regret the times I spent with you, but I'm thankful that you are finally getting some much needed peaceful rest. See you on the other side! Until then, I love you, daddy!

I am so sorry for your loss but am happy that Jim now walks and talks with his all mighty Savior. I will unfortunately not be able to make the funeral because we are moving out of state but my thoughts will be with the family and I pray for quick healing and peace to be restored soon.
