Betty,
We are heartbroken for you and your family. Our prayers are that God through His grace and strength will sustain you and undergird you during this time of loss.
The Lord has his reasons. He has given you a gift. He will take us all one day. Then we will meet in heaven. We will rejoice and sing together. Until it all will end.
In loving memory of Uncle Jimmy Joe
My thoughts and prayers are with you all, I Love You.
Dear Betty & Jimmy,
Please know that you have my heartfelt condolences and I will be praying for you w/o ceasing.
Love In Christ, Suzanne
I dont know where I was at and doing when this took place I remember hearing that my ol friend passed and i couldn’t believe it. Jimmy was my very close friend in school I had his back and he had mine. He was a friend for sure and i often think about times we had together in that old JR High building and it makes me smile. Rest in peace ol friend you are missed but will not be forgotten.
