Dianne and family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of James,
He was a wonderful Christian and friend.
It made my day when I joked with him and
he always told me ‘take care of Joe’. We
learned so much under his teaching
when we were at Bethany. We love you
and will always be near by. You
are in our prayers. God Bless!

Dear Diane and family, their are no words at a time like this. Please know that the Clontz family has been praying for you and are here for you in anyway that we can help. Your family has been such a blessing to us and we love all of you dearly. The passing of James was so sudden and such a loss that our hearts will all hurt for some time. Thank God for our salvation and the knowledge we have that he is celebrating this day with family and friends that have gone on before and that he is in the presence of our Lord an Savior on this day. That alone makes us find a smile in this hard time of loss. Praying that God will give you the comfort and grace to move ahead in the days that come.

Dianna, I am sorry that James passed away so suddenly, that is always a shock. I know you have many good memories and you have God’s promise that you will see him again. Please know that I am praying for your comfort and peace in the days ahead. I will come to visit you soon.
Dear Family,
You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. God will provide you with comfort during this grievous time and he promises a better future. Revelation 21:3,4 God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’?
To the McCain family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. So sorry for your loss. The loss of a loved one brings us feelings of anguish and grief, but you can find comfort and hope in God’s word, the Bible. John 5:28,29 says, ‘Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.’ What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones in a Paradise on earth where ‘death is no more.’ (Revelation 21:3,4)
To the McCain family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the pleasure of working along side James for several years with BellSouth. He was a joy to work with and had lots of knowledge to share. I always enjoyed working with James, he always had a positive attitude and never had anything negative to say about anyone. God will provide you comfort in this time of loss.
