Barry & Family,
I am saddened to hear of your loss. Jimmy was a kind man respected by those who had the opportunity to work with him. I know that he will be greatly missed by you, but I hope that you will find consolation in God's Holy Word as He says to us, "Lo I am with you always even to the ends of the world". Trust in Him, as I know you have in the past, and He will comfort you during this trying time.
