Remembering
Dear Peggy and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and for you during your time of sorrow. We cannot always understand why certain experiences come to us, but because of our faith we do know there is One who understands and knows why. You will lean heavily upon the Lord during this time and in so doing He will give you the strength and continued faith needed each day.
Jim brought a lot of joy to folks and he was a special friend to me. I am thankful that we got to talk a few times on the phone recently. It is a feeling of peace that I have knowing that the time of separation is only temporary and one day soon we shall each see Jim again.
May the Lord comfort your hearts and may His love and peace ever be yours.
With love,
Pastor Jerry
