So sad to hear this about Jim. He had worked so hard and came such a long way with his illnesses. My heart goes out to Nic, Barbara, Jim Sr., Brenda and family. They were there for him the whole way. Rest in peace JIm. Dawn Andrews

The sun rose to run its daily course, as it has for millennia. Only on that day, with awakening to rush from place to place, one family would halt to say goodbye. Family & friend gather for their final farewells, however these goodbyes are not final. Re. 21 3, 4 promises us there will be no more sickness, no more deaths, all these things will pass away

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
A weekend ‘fishing trip’ to Jimmy’s fishing cabin with the Jenkins brothers was my first memory of Jim. It became apparent that this man was a caring, and respected member of the Jenkins family. He made me feel very welcome as a guest. He will be one of my life’s most memorable acquaintances. I know he will be missed.
Brenda, So sorry for the loss of your father, you and your family are in our prayers.
May God’s Peace be with all of you Brenda and Ray.
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your love one. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him and bring him back again. John 528, 29 gives this assurance. Hope this thought brings comfort.
So sorry for your loss. Marshall & Lea Griffin
To The Family I am sorry about your loss. The bible does offers us comfort. Scripture such as Revelation 213,4 and John 528,29 comforted me. I am sure that the entire family will be comforted from these scripture while you cherish those fond memories.
