Guest Book

I am an old coworker of Jimmy's (at PHR&D law firm). I live in Newnan and was able to visit Jimmy and bring him dinner on a couple of occasions while he stayed at the rehab center in town. I am just learning of Jimmy's passing, but I am hopeful that the family still views this page, will see my message of sorrow, and will know that I am praying for them. Jimmy was one of a kind, a true friend, and such a generous person with his time. He will be dearly missed.

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Fondly known as Skeet, you were a lifelong friend to all members of the Lyons family. Always happy and flashing that dazzling smile, you never displayed anger or rage. Your presence was automatically uplifting to any occasion that you were involved with. Rest well, Skeet; sleep in heavenly peace. Janice

I offer my condolences to the family. Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise Jehovah God has made, He will call; the dead will answer. They will live at his command. For he will have a longing, For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, for our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, as the work of his own hand. Job 14:14,15 jw.org Tammy
