So sorry for your loss. So many memories in his photos! Such a kind man. May he RIP. I know we will all miss him immensely! A special love for Jim and all his family!
May your dad RIP
Kim, we cannot tell you how sorry we are for your loss. You spoke of your Dad with such respect and care. You have been a model daughter and I know that he found comfort in your being there with him as his battled his health concerns. Please know that you and your family are cared for, thought of, and loved. Please do not hesitate to call on us should you need anything.
Jim was a long-time client of VTA and one of our most loved! The work he and Becky Marshall did for GDNR was outstanding, and we were thrilled and honored to be a part of something so beautiful and so lasting. Beyond his professional skills, though, he was just a great guy and we enjoyed every moment he was in our building. Years ago he gifted me with a photo of a shrimp boat that he used on his Christmas card after I asked to buy a larger print. It hangs on the wall of my office where it can pull me to the Georgia coast whenever I need to ‘get away.’ Peace be with you, Jim, and peace to your family.
Dorothy, I am so sad to read that Jim has passed away. He had been on my mind lately. We had not been in touch for at least the last year.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I hope the words found at Revelation 21:4 brings comfort.
