To Jean, Terri, Tim and all of the Wooldridge family. We are saddened by the loss of one of the funniest men I have ever known. Each Sunday he would crack us up in choir or in church.
I bet Heaven is rolling with laughter right now. His boundless spirit, his kindness, humor and wit will never be forgotten. But we'll be in prayer for your family for peace and hope.

Aunt Jean, Rick, Terrie, & Staci,
My heart breaks for all of you on the passing of Uncle James. Even though Uncle James was my uncle by marriage, he was always one of my favorites! He was such a fun, sweet man and I always enjoyed visiting your family when I was in Arkansas. He will be missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Peggy

JW was one of my favorite bosses as a Sears Tech on Geyer Springs, we shared several laughs and stories. JW always looked at me as his go to guy when something important came across his desk and I will never ever forget that. May God bless such a wonderful man and prayers for his family.
Amen

I'm so sorry to hear of your James’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my father in law a few months ago. . After my losse, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
