The family of Pastor James G. Larson wishes to thank all of you for the 
Wonderful outpouring of love and caring which you have shown to his family 
Since his sudden departure to with the Lord. We especially thank the ambulance
Crew and the doctors and nurses at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital for
Their efforts to restart James' heart, and for your caring for us while we
Stayed with him after his passing from this life to eternal life.

We thank Pastor Jerrold Collins for arriving so quickly, and for calling
Pastor Hanhke to be with us. We thank Pastor Hahnke for his wonderful service,
The other pastors for their participation in the service, John Rakos for the
Beautiful organ music, and the Hecht Sisters for their beautiful vocal music.
We also wish to thank Brandon and the staff at Anderson Tribute Center for their
Caring and compassion during our time of grief, and Brian and the crew at Idlewild 
Cemetery for seeing to our comfort at the committal. We are grateful to
The Hood River Inn for all their help and care and their hospitality shown to 
Our family.

The reception was so very ncie, and the service so very much appreciated. We 
Thank all of you for the food brought to the house, for the cards, phone calls,
And memorials and especially all the beautiful flowers which James would have 
loved, expressing your sympathy and caring. He had so many friends with whom he 
shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Though he no longer was in the pulpit, he
never ceased to preach about the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ, 
our Savior and Lord. Words cannot express how we all will miss him, but we will
see him again someday. Thank you for your kindness, and may God bless you all.
