I met Jim when I was a teenager attending the Katy Church. Jim had such a way that you could not help but love him. The thing that I admired the most about Jim was his incredible love for people, and his deep seated love for his family, but his overflowing love of Jesus. Jim your fight is over, and you have won. Love you brother. Prayer's for Janie, Heather and April. Jim I will meet you in the morning, just inside the Pearly Gates over there!
