Hi Melanie, I'm sorry I couldn't make the service yesterday, but just wanted you to know how much Jim meant to me. There will always be a warm place in my heart when I think of him. He was always so very kind to me, just a one in a million man of God. Know I will be praying for you and all the family, that God will give you comfort and peace as you grieve his loss. Much love,
David Long
We will miss Jimmie at Swinging Saints square dances. We remember him as a warm and caring person who enjoyed the raffles at our dances too. Sincerely, Nicole and Ted Campbell
Melanie and family, please accept my deepest sympathy during this time. Jimmie was a wonderful man and served his Lord with joy. Praying for you during these days. Joy Cranford
Dear Melanie and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I thought the world of Jim. Y'all were so great to help Ted and me when we were building our house in Carowoods. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
In his love,
Mary Lou Masters
I am so sorry and heavy hearted to hear of the passing of a dear and lifelong friend.
Jimmy was the kind of guy that even though he got punished in school for standing up for you, he still had your back. We did so many juvenile things in high school that I cant remember them. What a happy guy he was, he will be missed! RIP Jimmie. Ron Hammond.
Talk to Jim every morning at the Peach Stand . He would have breakfast and meet some of his friend before he went to work at the farm. Enjoyed our little chit, chats before we went to work. He was a Great guy and will be miss by many . RIP OLD FRIEND !!!
Most sincere sympathies to Melanie and family. Truly a wonderful man, joyful in the Lord always. Cheri Oxenfeld
