To the Clements Family:

My deepest sympathies to each of you on the loss of your loved one. I worked with Jim for 20 years at SVTC. He was a "one of a kind man"; alway thoughful and helpful. Having lost my mother in the last few years I know that the pain and heartache will heal and you will be left with wonderful sweet memories. Take comfort that you will see him again in heaven. Please know that you are in my thought and prayers.

Donna,
I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I can't imagine what you both have been through the last couple of months. I have had you both in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I never had the opportunity to meet Jim but one time and that was at Colonial Downs when we were up from Georgia, that was a fun day we all had. He was a really nice guy. I'm sure you have alot of good memories with Jim that you will always cherish and never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take Care Donna.

Dear Donna and Family,

In times of sorrow and heartache, it seems difficult for loved ones, friends and co-workers to find just the right words of love and comfort to share. A time that brings great awareness of the preciousness of life and love.

During this part of the journey you and Jim have recently faced together, you were in my thoughts and prayers. I think from God's Holy Word, Isaiah conveyed a great message and command of the Lord.

Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Though the journey for us is hidden and we travel by faith and not by sight, this one promise I know, that I know, has sustained me and many others.

May the great love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit bring you all, the comfort, peace and joy of the love and memories, and fill you with hope for the greatly anticipated, bright and beautiful day of reunion we shall have to come.

Love and prayers,

Donna:

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine what you must be going thru but know that you have the love of all your friends and family to get you thru this time of sorrow. Please know that you are in our thoughts and if there is anything we can do, please let us know.
Love,
Sissy and Family

Hi Donna,
I realize at a time like this, there is very little one can do or say. But, I do want you to know you have my deepest sympathy.
God needed another angel so he called Jim home. He was a wonderful person and I enjoyed doing business with him on the golf cart on several occasions.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth S. Bishop

Donna,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sometimes we ask WHY but The man above has a reason for everything. Jesus came to me and asked me to take care of you in a dream. You are in my prayers.

Madeline and Donna,
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. It's hard, I know. He is in a much better place now. In the words of Canon Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918)...

"I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name; speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me,
Let my name be ever the household word that
it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
All is well."

my deepest sympathies go out to jimmys family and friends. we were friends from grade school. i just talked to him last fall. so sad. fletcher harrison
