He loved to share stories and preach the word of Christ. He served as pastor until his health would no longer let him. Jimmie was a kind, gentle soul.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this time of sorrow but Bro. Jim has fought a long and hard battle and he doesn't have to do that anymore.
