Condolences
Jim was a gentleman and I know he will be missed by his family and many friends. God bless all of you and give you his peace. Love and prayers
so sorry for your loss
prayers for your family
To Mrs. Smith and family. Please accept my condolences for your loss. I worked with Mr. Smith at Consol. I always called him Mr. Smith instead of "Jim ". I found Mr. Smith to be a very intelligent individual with a broad knowledge of his profession. But most of al he was a first class gentleman to work with. I am sure he was in his personal life also.
Sorry I could not attend viewing due to out of town trip.
Agnes, I was so sorry to hear about your husband. I was visiting my older daughter last week and didn't hear about it until today. Jim served his country well. I am praying for your and your family, for peace and comfort. Love you!
