Keep all the beautiful memories close to heart. My deepest condolences and sympathy to the James Freeman family. My prayers are that God's word will be a source of encouragement to the family at this very difficult time. Losing someone we love so much is never easy. Do take comfort in knowing that Jehovah promises us at 2 Corinthians 1:3 he is the God (Jehovah) of tender mercies and the God of all comfort. He is closed to all those broken hearted...Psalms 34:18. N. Carolina
