James Vise

Mary - our deepest sympathies on your loss. Jim was such a wonderful man and we will miss seeing him when we visit Tulsa. While the loss is great here on Earth, we rejoice in his presence before the Lord and the knowledge that we will one day see him again. Brian and Jennifer Tripp

Thanks be to God and Mary for sharing Jim with us. Jim's great gain (Philip 1:21)is our loss. May our loss be seasoned with the fact that he is now absent from the body and face to face with His Lord enjoying full and intimate fellowship with Him(2 Cor 5:8). He is the fortunate one! Fortunate because he accepted the grace of God by faith in Christ (Eph 2:8-9). We are all products of God's grace. What a blessing to have such a friend like Jim who reflected God's grace toward us. What a loss for us! What a gain for him!

Jim, a some words for you first. You were one of the few people in my life that I can truly say that I never felt even a moment of anger toward; even when you got part of our convoy lost on our return from Ft Riley. I know you'll never forget my characterization of you as being like a big old friendly dog. We had a couple of laughs about that...remember? All will miss you,Jim. None more so than those most close to you. But, I hope to see you again,old friend,for some more laughs and reminiscences. Mary, I sense the burden of loss and sorrow you and the kids must feel, but know that there are many others that share your loss and want to help you bear the burden, I being one among that many. I believe that God's love will fill the void of Jim's absence. Sonny

Mary, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure you pain is deep, but your memories and love are even more deep. You two have always been a bright spot when running in to you at a sale or at the flea market. Please know you are in my thoughts. Hugs, Jamie Wooley

Mary & Family, We are truly saddened by the passing of Jim. Our family is going to miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the family. Wish we could be there with you. Hope to see you sometime soon. Love, Lou Jean, J.C. & Shannon Cook

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vise family. Jim was simply a fantastic person and he will surely be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. Our deepest sympathies, Scott, Lise and Owen Massey

Mary, our heart goes out to you in this loss. I'm sure you will stand strong. The Doll House Club at Karlene's love you.

We have valued Jim's friendship through the years and his faithfulness to doctrine. As one of the founding members of Faith Bible Church he has provided encouragement and remained true to learning God's word - and is now face to face with our Lord - able to ask all those doctrinal questions that have had us all stumped from time to time! We will miss his dry wit, but look forward to seeing him again in eternity. Lee and Sandi

We have loved having both of you for friends. Now, Mary, you will have do double duty. You are not released from your responsibility. You are still our friend. We want to continue to see you at the Flea Market. You surely must have enough for a booth or two. Know that we love you, and will be there for you if and whenever you need us. Sincerely, and with love. Harold and Rae Ann Engel

We are most deeply saddened to learn of your loss. We dearly loved Jim and are so thankful we had so many years to tell him so! We join each of you in holding his memories close to our hearts, and if you listen, you'll hear his love all around you. May our Heavenly Lord embrace and comfort you, Mary,your children and grandchildren. And God bless you, MR. VISE--we're sure gonna miss you!!
