Trusting your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ provides you with needed strength and peace during the days ahead. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy will come in the morning rejoicing in a better day that is promised when there will be no more good-byes and sad parting.

    James Doyt & Sue & family, My condolences to you & your family. I had lost track of you all for the last 64 years. I graduated from Corinth Holders in 1962. I remember James Doyt well. You were 2 grades ahead of me. I was an Archer Lodge girl who only went 4 years to Corinth. Sue I think you were longer than me. I pray the Lord will give you & your family comfort & peace during this difficult time. Lots of hugs.

    Jamie will be missed by many. I will always remember the hilarious verbal rivalry that Jamie and my Daddy, WO Johnson, carried on over who was better looking. Jamie had that big smile and Daddy had that sly grin, and both had twinkling eyes. My condolences to the family.

    To the family, my deepest condolences for the loss of your Son, Brother, Father. and Grandfather. I am a firm believer when we lose someone close to us like a father, they continue to live on through us and give us the strength we need to walk through life. Just remember his goodness will always shine through you. To Lisa, take comfort in the fond memories you both shared with one another and know the years you shared with this amazing man will stay in your heart forever. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this horrific loss.

    I was very close to Jamie and I had no idea he had even passed away, I am heart broken because I had known him over 20 years.
