When I (Jim) was just 19 years old, the Lord gave me the most wonderful woman in the world for my wife-- My darling Georgia Mae (Reynolds) Dearmore, to whom I was very happily married for almost 56 years! And, unlike many long married couples, we were still passionately in love right up until the Lord took her home!

My sweetheart, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on November 17, 2004, and I miss her terribly.

In spite of what some people say that it "just doesn't happen that way," it was virtually "love at first sight" for me, and for her. I thank God for my darling Georgia every day of my life. She has been my sweetheart, my helper, my faithful companion through thick and thin, through many years of "risky living" serving the Lord together in Africa. This picture was taken a while before I met her, while she was still in Springfield, Missouri.
