Here lies a great man who has left a wonderful legacy behind. Jim was larger then life and he lived it to the fullest. Now that Jim has departed, may all the beautiful memories be a blessing to his lovely Wife Lynne, beautiful daughter Julia and rest of his family and friends. Please accept my sympathies for your loss. Love Judy
Well words can never change what happens in life it is comfortably nothing that John is in eternal rest. The bible tells us that we mourn the death of a loved one but we will rejoice in heaven when we are called home. Love you always. Cousin Bobby, rose-lee and Zachary

Please accept my sympathy fir your loss.
I only knew Cookie for a short three months yet it seems like he was a lifetime friend. My mom was at the same nursing home and Cookie became her best friend the day she moved in, that’s just the type of guy Cookie was. He made everybody laugh and smile on their worst day, that’s the type of guy Cookie was. He was loved and respected by all the residents, nursing staff, nurses aids, and all visitors that were there to see their loved ones, that’s the type of guy Cookie was.
I miss you dearly – R.I.P Buddy
