I am sorry to read of the passing of your loved one; please accept my deepest sympathy. While you are grieving, I hope you will find comfort in Jesus’ promise of the earthly resurrection, for those who have fallen asleep in death (Acts 24:15) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will have to mourn the loss of a loved one.- Isaiah 25:8; John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that GOD cares (I Peter 5:7) and will give you the strength to endure during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
The battle is over. Victory is yours. Rest in peace, our dear friend. Your legacy lives on.
I have known Jim and Sonia-and family for many years–Jim was a kind hearted man who would help anyone he could–I rode motorcycles w Jim and Rex– and have a lot of precious memories –was saddened to see him sick –and suffer–but I know where he is now–and is no longer in pain–will miss him–prayers for the family—
Uncle Jim~
Always a positive influence in my life
