So blessed with a long life, but even with all those years, I know they were not enough for those who held James so dear to their hearts. To his family and friends, I extend my deepest condolences. May the countless, fine memories of your beloved James forever warm your hearts and bring smiles to your faces, even behind tears shed. May you find comfort in knowing that death was never God’s plan (Gen.1:28; Rom. 5:12) and one day death will be no more (Rev.21:4) as loved ones will be resurrected (Acts 24:15) with the hope of life forever in paradise, on earth (Ps. 37:11,29) as God intended. Until then, a fine person rests in God’s loving care.
May you rest in eternal peace. I miss you every day when I pass your usual seat in the last pew.
