Gregory Smith lit a candle in memory of James "Jim" Edwin Richard

Jim you will be missed. Thank you for your impact on my life and others! You are rejoicing in heaven now! Jim was my youth Pastor in Battle Creek, MI! In Christ, Jonathan Thar

I am just in shock and then I think that is nothing to what all you must be feeling. I met Jim through Newaygo County Linc - what an experience! He radiates Jesus Christ, While it is hard for us - for Jim --- to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I can only Imagine... Love in Christ our Lord and Savior Trish Rager RN

Sometimes we think our life clock is a stopwatch, we have all the time we want before us and we can always reset. As we grow older we realize our clock is actually a timer. It is not how long you live, but what you live for. Jim lived for serving the Lord and therefore his family, brothers and friends, he didn’t live for himself. Because of his condition he knew he has passed the limit, so he lived fully all the days he had left. I wish I could be like him. I already miss him.
