I’m so sorry to hear that Jimmy passed. Praying God’s comfort for you all.
Love, Susan Rudd Dumaresq
To Sue and the rest of the family please accept our condolences for Jimmie’s passing. We experience sorrow when a loved one has left this earth, but knowing that our loved one is now with Jesus brings joy and anticipation of meeting them again one day. May you find comfort in God presence during this time.
Mrs. Soyars and family, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. May God comfort you in the days ahead.
Prayers sent.
Praying that the Lord will bring peace and comfort to the family and friends at this time of need.
I am so sorry for your loss. My mom was Margaret Taylor Reece Covington. Which is Jimmie’s cousin. I lost my Mom a year ago December. I know it is hard when our love ones are gone but we know one day we will see them again. Remember Jimmie is in the presence of our Lord. Prayer of peace and comfort for the family.
Sue and girls I send you my love and condolences. Call
