So sorry about James, but what a way to go.....He lived his life as a man should, loved the Lord, and served his Lord and fellow man. He did his best for his family, was a good son-in-law, brother-in-law, and Uncle. Our prayers are with you and the family and we know the Lord will give you all love, courage, wisdom and strength to get through the future. He leaves a void in all our hearts........

Aunt Kay, Tim and Dan,
Our heart goes out to you all. I dont believe we ever get use to losing a loved one. The only thing I do know is when there were only one set of footprints, it was then He carried us. Know you are all in our hearts and prayers. Hold on to one another and know one day we will all be together......Love Pat & Debbie Emery

I got the sad news early Saturday morning, April 2nd. I am deeply saddened by Uncle James' passing. I heard he was wrapping up a great day of fishing with a wonderful friend. I am glad he was doing what he loved the most and with a dear friend when God told James it was finally time to come home. I love you Aunt Kay, Danny and Tim. You are in our prayers and hearts even though the miles between us are great. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you in this time of grief. Love you all, Gina Jernigan
