Saying good-bye is so hard to say to my beloved friend and loved one. So, I'll just say, "Till we meet again in Heaven......:" Jim and I were born on the same day, month and year...we called ourselves "Twins". You and Jimmy always tell me to stay out of trouble, but you know it's a 80 year habit that's hard to break. Sending love and compassion to the family and great friends.

Jimmy and Family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.Jimmy your Dad was a great man with a BIG heart! May you find strength and peace believing Gods grace and sovereignty are greater than any loss. We may not understand why God allows tragedy to strike us, we can rest in his infinite wisdom and tender mercies. Our God is a loving God Thru the pain, tears, and hurt. May you find comfort and rest in him. “Blessed our those who mourn for they shall be comforted” Matthew 5:4 Deborah Mann - Ronnie & Jimilea Mann’s Daughter
