Dear Pam = We were so sorry and actually surprised to hear that your Jim passed away today. When you left us last night we surely did not expect anything to happen so quickly to him. You and your family have our deepest sympathy. We will be thinking of you this week as we care very much for you. Love to all of you.

Dear Pam, Sara, Mia, Miles and Shelby, and family,
I was so shocked to hear of Jim’s passing, but Praise The LORD he excepted Jesus as his Savior before hand! I’m confident God took him home this quickly to shorten his struggles with the cancer. What an inspiration this is to hear. I’m looking forward to spending more time with Jim in heaven as I only met him once here on earth.
I should be home this weekend and I’ll see you on Saturday. May our God bless and comfort you my dear friend!

Dearest Pam, We would like to say how much we are sorry for your loss, and the great endurance that you have had to walk with Jim, I will not forget you in our prayers and I understand to well what separation can feel to bear, and I can’t tell you how incredibly happy I am for you that He did see it the Lords way and trusted in Jesus, God is so incredibly wonderful even though we do not fully understand His Divine timings. We love you our beloved sister and may the God of all comforts, comfort you continually. What is so beautiful is we get to fellowship with him on the other side, yippie for the Saints of God who go before us, God Bless so much! Love K
