I was deeply saddened to read of Jim’s passing. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and many friends. During our high school years, we were best buddies, and I was best man at he and Bettie’s wedding, and he at mine. We will meet again at Jesus’ feet

Betty, We have missed seeing you both of late. Jim is surely singing in heaven even more beautifully than he did here on earth. God keep you and sustain you during your time of grief. We will all be reunited soon

Jim was an absolute sweetheart. His love for Betty was overflowing. Every morning, she was the first thing on his mind, with him asking where she was. I loved my time working with Jim, and I hold Betty deep in my heart. I pray for her everyday. Heaven gained a true angel.
