Our heartfelt thank you's to our home family in the Kisbey surrounding district for all your loving strength and support during Jim's illness. Your gifts of visits, food, communications, donations, prayers, and concerns gave Jim an amazing shield of grace that endured him to the end.
Thank you Kisbey Rec. Centre and volunteers for the sustaining lunch, Kisbey United Church members, choir and Doug Curtis for taking the time to prepare Jim's last service.
Special thanks to Claudia, Kalvin, and employees of Nankivell Trucking and my Canada Post colleagues for your hands-on support.
To my wonderful Kindred Spirit sisters Gayle, Lana Wyatt and Wendy Gordon who gave Jim joy with impromptu concerts, candid moments, much love and thoughtfulness and in turn Jim showed us to never take for granted each day God has prepared for us. We pray you honour Jim by remembering his radiant smile in your heart.
God Bless you from his ever loving family,
Linda, Andrew, Amber, Rian, and Madison Pow
