Mary, Linda, Jerry and Tim — I extend my deepest condolences to you and the entire family. Growing up together in the same neighborhood, church, schools, etc. I feel like we have truly been like family for long time. Your dad was such a kind person. He always made sure we arrived to our destination safely for youth trips, walked the perimeter with my dad to protect us all during church services, and gave hugs to those of us that needed them. Thank you guys for sharing him. May God comfort you like only HE can during this time. Praying your strength. ❤️LaShanda (Clark) James
