Jim and family- Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Our memories are in Town and Country where you were such good neighbors. Beth and i had great walks together after getting the children off to school. She certainly had a long illness to deal with and you are to be commended for your long years of care for her. May the Lord comfort and guide you in the days to come. Mary and Hoyt Beard
With heartfelt sympathy, sometimes the many things our voices cant find the words to say, our hearts can feel & understand . May Jehovah strength you in your time of sorrow. Jehovah is near to those who are broken hearted, & those who are crushed in spirit, he saves. Ps. 3418
