  1. My deepest sympathy to the Wright family. My heart goes out to you as you mourn James. Our heavenly Father lovingly reminds us that he “is close to the brokenhearted.” (Ps.34:18) He also gives the assurance that he will resurrect our dear loved ones back to life as Jesus did his friend Lazuras. (Acts 24:15, John 11:38-44) May these promises bring you comfort and give you hope for the future. (Rom. 15:4)

  3. Carol,
    As you know, Jimmy was my mom’s buddy. She was probably at heaven’s gate waiting to greet him. No more pain; no more suffering for either of them. Jimmy left this world much too young, but we are all better for having known him. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
    With love and condolences,
    The Giamalva and Chamberlain families
