Dear Wyrick family,
Jim was a good friend for many years. The retired clergy of the New Orleans area made him an honorary clergyman and he seemed to be delighted. He enjoyed attended the Watering Hole (casual socials where the clergy got together) and we enjoyed having him.
We were all very sorry when his declining health forced him to relocate. We will miss him very much.
My condolences on your loss.

Dear Kevin,
Sorry about this news...you took great care of him and it seems that you had a chance to really get close over the past few years.
You want to feel that you belong to something higher, to something even beyond this universe, then go to the opera!

Kevin,
It was a pleasure to have known your dad. He was a great man. He enjoyed his life at Ville Ste. Marie where he made many friends. I always teased him about his Abraham Lincoln socks. They were always the topic of conversation. On behalf of myself, the staff and all of his friends at VSM, you and your family will be in our prayers.
