I was notified this evening of the passing of Sgt Jimmy R Lee of Pomeroy OH. Jimmy was a was a PGR member, a decorated Vietnam Veteran, and Purple Heart Recipient. He was taken from us by a blood clot that formed after knee surgery and caused a stroke. Jimmy was an active member of the local American Legion and VFW. His sister has asked that we attend his funeral services.
To Jimmy's family and friends, I offer my condolences. From the conversations I had tonight with a couple of them it sounds like Jimmy was a person I would have enjoyed knowing. Unfortunately I will not get that opportunity. Let those who he touched in life be grateful and share his memory that he may not be forgotten.
Mission Itinerary as follows:
Staging Location - FISHER FUNERAL HOME 590 E MAIN STREET POMEROY OHIO
Staging Time - 0930
Funeral Services will be held at the Funeral Home at 1100 with interment immediately following the services.
Tom Pittman has accepted the role of RC for this mission of respect. Please follow his postings for additional details.
PLEASE BRING YOUR FLAGS and be prepared for warm weather. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt Jimmy R Lee, Vietnam Veteran/PGR Member. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Jimmy.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Standing in spirit... |
