I am so very thankful my family and I got to meet James and get to know him through my husband, David’s, being his roommate before David went to be with Jesus. It is so comforting to know that now both James and David are enjoying visiting one another in Heaven with our Savior and Lord!
My whole family loved James and we will miss him, but know we will see him again some day!
Love,
Nancy Terry
How often a child makes a guestbook entry I can not say. This son is blessed beyond words to have had these last two precious years with dad sharing together.
He will be missed! Each time we met he was greeted (close to his good ear); “Great peace, great peace, have they which love thy law: and nothing, no nothing, shall offend them.”
To my sister, Linda, may the tender touch of the Lord bless you daily for the sacrificial servant heart you gave to dad’s care—Above and Beyond!
The family lives in our heart and prayers.
Kenneth
The Hansard Family You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Tony & Jaunita
Elwyn you’ve meant so very much to me in my life. You were always faithful to God and His call on your life. I’ve never known a more christian man. I pray for God’s comfort to be with Linda, James, Sandra, Kenneth and Latrelle’s children and their families during this time. We look forward to the day when we’ll meet again. My first thought was the rejoicing you are having. I’m so sorry my health has prevented me from coming and saying goodbye and trying to give some comfort to your family members. We will miss you, Tony & Jaunita
Sandra Smith I was so sorry to see your Dad’s notice in paper. I saw it too late to come. I wanted to see you and family. I was going to send a card and realized I didn’t have your address or telephone number. I live in Monroe, GA.,
