JAMES FRENCH

Jim’s life was honoured last week in Cook’s Chapel. Special music and tributes brought family and friends together celebrating a man who has left a lasting legacy.

I’d like the tears of those
who grieve, to dry before the sun,
of happy memories that I leave behind, when day is done.

His Life Lived…
His Life Cherished…
His Life Honoured.
