Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

August 25, 1964 - August 25, 2017

A hopelessly wretched sinner who was made a Child of God and a Saint by the awesome saving grace of Almighty God, who, compelled by His own nature magnificently transcendent love, freely provides the gift of Christ's righteousness and eternal salvation to every worthless sinner who simply believes/trusts in the redeeming finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, whereby Christ as the substitutionary Lamb of God suffered and died as the sacrificial atoning payment for the sins of every sinful man and woman. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31). At age 53, on Friday, August 25, 2017, James departed this world and entered into the glorious presence of the Faithful Creator and God of all grace. Loving and devoted husband of Sabine U.
