Announcement of the Death of James Lewis

In Memoriam
James Iddo Lewis, Jr.
1914 - 2008
Beloved and Devoted Husband,
Loving Friend, and Faithful Partner
He departed life Friday Evening, August 22, 2008.
He was a Kindhearted Educator,
a Steadfast Veteran,
and a Highly Respected Citizen Of This Place.
He shall be missed.
His friends were many, his foes were few,
For everyone his kindness knew.
He’s gone -- but aye, he’s freed of pain,
Our loss is his eternal gain.
Dry, dry your tears; he’s gone above,
Where all is joy and peace, and love,
With angels in that blest abode,
His spirit winged its way to God.
