Mrs. Mullins, Jason, Josh and Joy, so very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was one of those people that just had a positive affect on all those he came in contact with--and that obviously included me. He just shined, even when there was no apparent reason to shine, giving all those around him a better perspective on life. A great gift from God.
My prayer is, will continue to be, that God gives all of you the strength, wisdom, knowledge, and courage you need tomorrow, and going forward.
I had every intention to come to the services, give Jim, and you guys all the honor you so richly deserve. However, Carolyn has a medical procedure tomorrow at 11:00 at the hospital in Bluefield--one that she has been waiting on for weeks, just got the go ahead for it last Friday. I am truly sorry I will not be able to attend.
May God give all of you "The peace that passeth all understanding" in your time of great need.
You can rest assured Gideon Bibles will be sent in honor of Jim..
God Bless,
Coach Reid
