Aunt Anita, my family’s thoughts and prayers are with you. Know that God remains in control, Jesus still intercedes on Uncle Jimmy’s and our behalf, and the Holy Spirit will bring you and all of us comfort. We will all look back to cherish, remember, and celebrate Uncle Jimmy. Know that you were not alone, and that you are fully surrounded with love.
Mack and I both worked in the same bldg. for the Postal Service but we didn’t work together. However I would get a visit from him every winter because he so loved the peanut brittle that I would sell for my church. I enjoyed those visits from Mack because he was such a super nice guy! My prayers and condolences to the family.
Anita, I was very sorry to hear of Jimmy’s passing. Thank you for personally reaching out to me. I remember when you and I worked together at Bexley Post Office and Jimmy would pick up mail on his route. You two began your love journey as husband and wife. Not everything was roses, but you two didn’t run away. You stood by his side and he quickly took the mantel as step-father. That says alot about his character.
My prayers are with you and the entire family. Allow yourself time to grieve; the God of all comfort has you. Jimmy is no longer suffering.
I love you my sister friend and hope we fellowship soon.
Anita Adams ,James Mack III
I pray the good Lord gives you exactly what you deserve
Sorry Sister Anita for your lost. Just heard it from Dominick today. Praying that Good Lord will watch over you during this time. I will let others know about his passing that have known you during your time at the USPS. Be Blessed !
