Ps 30:5b "...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Praying that you will fall on the breast of the Savior for your comfort and strength, and that His love will surround you. May you learn as Paul that "His Grace is Sufficient." Rejoice, if you can, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and precious in the eyes of the Lord are the death of His saints. Commend your Daddy home into the hands of a merciful and loving Heavenly Father.

James was a very close friend and fellow engineer. I hired James to be City Engineer when I worked for Midland. We enjoyed lunch together almost every day. I am very saddened to hear of James passing, but I know that he is in the arms of his Saviour Jesus Christ. I look forward to seeing him in Heaven some day. Our deepest sympathy to Gloria and family, Harvey and Annette Hansen
