To Pastor Grimes, and family:
We will miss our brother for a short period of time, in order that we may be with him for the longer period. The block of time he has spent here with us has left a holy footprint in the sand, and because of his leadership, both in family, church, and community, the bar for us all has been set higher. I may submit to you that he has not left you. A part of him resides in each one of you, and I am more, for having the opportunity to have know him myself.
