To the Cole family especially Mrs. Lula. My sincere and deepest condolences to ALL of you. There is no amount of words to completely describe Mr. Jim. He had a demeanor that would put you in a trance. His soft spoken voice radiated to show love, compassion, caring spirit, and most of all a Godly character. Yes he will be missed by everyone (family and extended family).
Aunt Lula, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your husband (Jim). He is someone who shared so much of life with you and the family. He will forever be a part of you. We will for sure keep you in our prayers as you celebrate and remember your husband.
Sending my prayers and condolences, Trudy
