Dear Family,
My condolences and heart-felt sympathy for the absence of Jim although we know he’s home and at peace, where we shall all convene together one day. I was in college with Jim at American University and ran track with him. We shared a lot in life back then and share Christ even now. I only learned of Jim’s going home today as I live in Eastern Europe.
Wishing you God’s comfort,
Larry
