Hard to know what to say right now, except our thoughts, prayers, and spirit are with you all. Jim and Geri to us have been the God parents of our family, always there in every situation, whether it was weddings, holidays, sicknesses, or anything else, while always remaining faithful to his beliefs. I wish I could be a fly on the wall, so I could see the beautiful reward he is graced with this day in heaven. Love you all so much!
