Dear Mary Jane and family. We are saddened to hear of the passing of Jim. We are praying that our blessed Savior the Lord Jesus Christ will hold and sustain you at this time of loss. I have often thought of you two especially when hunting across the road. The picnic bench you placed there is still standing and I sit there often after my morning hunt. God bless you my friends.

I was so saddened when I heard of your passing. Mary its been a pleasure knowing you and Jim and our time we spent together in Yuma Arizona. We were able to visit a few times over the years and enjoyed everyone of them. It was great to visit you and Mary in Clarkridge. You found a great retirement home there I wish you could have had more time to enjoy.. We are going to miss you.
Love Terry and Sue Joachim

My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one.
Losing someone you love is truly difficult and I know Jimmy, will be missed. Please know our Heavenly Father holds out promises that can help us with our sorrow. One such promise is that death soon will be done away with forever (Revelation 21:4) and another promise is that "there is going to be a resurrection." (Acts 24:15). I pray these promises from God, who cannot lie, (Titus 1:2) brings you comfort. For more comfort from the Bible visit www . jw . org.
