Jim was a man few people will be able to forget. He was special in every way. As his sister-in-law he didn’t mind teasing me. Jim was the kind of man you rarely encounter these days. One of the first gifts he gave my sister when they were dating was a winter coat. I knew from that present that he would always take good care of her. I watched the love in their marriage first hand and can testify it was true love. Neither one of them ever strayed too far from the other. They woke up every morning reading their Bibles with coffee, and praying. Jim was also my brother Michael’s best friend. They shared years of working together. Now they are both together in heaven. Oh what a day!
He will Deffinately be greatly missed. He shared his smile and caring nature to those he knew well and would be friends too . Such a good and loving example of a gift from God 🫶. I know God danced the day he was born and welcomed him with a huge hug the day Jim passed💕
Jim was a great example of walked like he talked🫶 I will cherish all of the happy memories and miss him greatly💕
What a perfect example of showing Jesus’s love in a practical way.Matthew 25 :21 “Well done ,good and faithful servant! Sharon and I send our prayers to Betty and family. He will be missed
Betty our prayers are with you at this sad time
Jimmy will truly be missed
We will always be here for you
Love and God Bless
Jerry and Sherry
Jesus made Jimmy Posey so very special…he was an open door of God’s love to many people through his life, family, church and business. He and Betty have shown endless kindness to our family and to many others. Our loss is heaven’s gain. We love you Betty. “Well done good and faithful servant”…indeed.❤️
