Add A Condolence

I offer my sympathy and condolences to Jimmy's wife and family. Jimmy was my first cousin; my father Fred Christopher was brother to his dad. Although it's been many, many years since I've seen Jimmy, I think back and remember the days of play, fun, laughter and friendship that we had as children -- all of the Christopher cousins playing together at Big Mamma's house. I leave these words of comfort for the family, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
