Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson,
We can not begin to know your sorrow or what words will be a comfort, so we simply want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We also want you to know how very much we appreciated being able to know Jim and both of you for a short time. He was God's gracious provision to us in a time of crisis. If there is anything we pray for our own son, it is that he would be a Godly man who is a blessing to the lives of others. Jim was such a man. I read a verse the other day that seems so appropriate to the times we are in and thought about Jim. It is Isaiah 57:1-2 "...devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.NIV Who knows when the Lord may come and the rest of us will get to be with Him. Jim is with Him now. Our prayer is that God will strengthen you and give you peace and comfort in that knowledge.
