Jim's life reflected his devotion to his Saviour and to his family. He was an honorable, humble man and I am fortunate to have known such a man. Mary, Renae, Chris and families, may you rest in the knowledge that Jim is finally able to touch the face of God and hear the words "well done, my good and faithful servant."
Mary, Renae, Chris, Jason and families: I am so sorry for your loss. It is a difficult time. Remember the wonderful times and be comforted knowing he is in heaven praising his Lord. Remembering him fondly. Diane
