    At a time like this we realize that there just aren't enough words in the English language to describe what an amazing individual Jim Lewis was!!! When we think of his sense of humor, his ready smile, his constant willingness to help others, we are made aware of the enormous void that has been left in our lives. Thank. You. Jim, for being such an amazing individual and for the profound impact that you had in our lives. Although our hearts are heavy with his passing, we can rejoice in knowing where he is. For this reason, we will not say Good Bye, but rather, we will see you later.

    Mr. Jim was such a beautiful person with an enormous smile and a big hug that always made anyone feel loved. He was a true Christian in every manner and an inspiration to me each time I saw him. Praying for the family ?
