I just want to say how sweet a person Mr. Mann has always been. Whenever we needed his services here at the church, he was always ready to help out wherever needed.

I have missed seeing him around the church the last several months, due to his illness, but I often though of him during his absence.

I know Jim will be missed by your family and by others within the church. He served CBC well in many capacities.

Jim was such a blessing to Chester Baptist Church. I learned from his grandson that he kept a log listing all of the locks in the church and every time he serviced each one, up until 2003. He was a dedicated servant of God, very faithful and dependable.

I am a member of Chester Baptist Church and will miss Jim Mann a lot. He always had a smile on his face. I was so impressed by his ability to keep up his duties at church even while attached to an oxygen tank. My family will miss his presence at church greatly and will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Shari Moore and family
