Our sincere condolences to the Mock family.We all loved Rev. Mock and will miss him so much.Sir James, as I called him. We met over 28 years ago, often seeing each other at church, Wal-Mart or the Shell gas station. Sir James was a man that never changed, he always greeted me with a big smile, a hug and some words of wisdom. When Rev. Mock preached the word-the message was always wonderful. He told you exactly what God said. He lived that word.A wonderful mentor. Sir James, the works you've done, the service you gave, and the life you lived- speaks for you. God said well done my son, assignment completed-now time to rest.To mother Ernestine-we are here for you and family at any time. To James Jr. and Denzel- if we can do anything for the family you know how to contact us. Praying for strength and comfort for the Mock family. Shirley Moore and family.

May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. Mary Hickman Jackson - Raleigh, North Carolina

Uncle James Willis, you have fought a good fight, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith. I will forever miss you and love you. No words could express the way I feel; but we are a strong family and with God's help, we will get through this. To Aunt Tine, you are the epitome of a virtuous woman and such an honor to have you as my aunt. I love you and am always here for you no matter what. To my cousins and relatives, the Joy of the Lord is our strength. I am praying for you. We are praying for one another.
