January 3, 2019 at 9:21 amDear Nixon Family Members:
Pam and I were very sadden to hear of the demise of your loved one. However, during the demise of our family members, we have always found PEACE and CLOSURE in the following:
“But Now They Deserve A Better Country, That Is, An Heavenly, Wherefore GOD Is Not Ashamed To Be Called Their GOD, For HE Hath Prepared For Them A City.”. HEBREWS: 11-16, KJV
May your FAITH continue to SUSTAIN you.
Mervin and Pam McCoy, Chesapeake, VA

January 5, 2019 at 1:23 amDear Mr. Nixon,
The last time Jimmy and I were together we were sharing pancakes together at St. James. It was a lovely memory as we shared our intense love for pancakes. I will miss his infectious smile and his peaceful manner.
Now, may theLord’s Peace bring him healing as we give Him Total Praise!
Your sister-in-Christ,
Cynthia DeSue-Grady

January 5, 2019 at 4:46 amMy condolences to all family and friends of Jimmy. He was simply the best. Even as he was in pain struggling with his illness, he was still concerned about how everyone else was doing, making sure my visit with him was as comfortable and pleasant as it could be. What earth has lost, Heaven has truly gained. I will miss him. My prayers are with you during this time of bereavement. Go with God my dear cousin.
Romans 8:31-39

January 15, 2019 at 1:57 amToday is January 14th and I am JUST coming across this notification, which caught me completely by surprise!
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my college schoolmate (NSU)! I offer my sincere condolences to Jimmy’s wife, daughter, and father. It was always a pleasure whenever we crossed paths after our college days. May the Lord comfort and keep you today and in the days/months/years to come.
