A number of you may be already aware, but in case you didn't know, Jimmy's father passed away Sunday. I expect he is more occupied with family and travel arrangements than blogging right now, so I wanted to ask you all for prayers on his behalf.
He wrote in a personal e-mail;
before Christmas and I was able to speak to him by phone the day he
died (he was not detectably conscious, but who knows what people in
this situation can perceive).
I also have the very great comfort that he received the anointing of
the sick and last rites the day he died.
My sister, brother, and sister-in-law were with him when he passed. It
was a peaceful death, and he was surrounded by people who love him.
