  1. Our most sincere condolences and prayers to Betty , family and all the friends. Jim was a great man and friend! He will be surely deeply missed! John and Marylou Holmes

  2. 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!

  3. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. We all adored taking care of him at the pharmacy. His smile and humor always brightened my day. I’m so truly sorry Miss Betty for your loss of your husband. You both positively influenced the person i came to be today and I can’t thank you both enough. May god rest his arms around you Betty and please know that he is with our Lord and heaven truly gained a special angel.
