September 2, 2023 at 3:01 pmJim, Carol, Chantry, Colan, Kristen, Kitty and all you grand kids. I am so sorry for this great loss. I have experienced the loss of my spouse, parents and siblings and as painful as that was, I cannot begin to know your pain of losing such a special son Jim and Carol.. He was so fun to play and sing with as he played his instruments just as you Jim and Carol were. I pray God wraps His Big Arms of Comfort around you all. I know it is only His comfort that helps during this kind of sorrow. We can have comfort in knowing this is not goodbye. With our resting hope in Jesus through His death, burial and resurrection, we are all going to be reunited never to part again. So thanks and praise be to Jesus, this is a “see you later” Jimmy. I love you all and again, may God’s comforting peace be with you today and for the days ahead.
