Guest Book

"Sherry, Micheal, Doug, and I send our love and heartfelt condolences to all of you as we remember and honor Jimmy’s life. We will cherish the memories of our summer visits growing up- the laughter, the mischief, the stories/music and the simple joy of being together. Even though distance kept us apart physically over the years, the memories of the time we shared with all the cousins, especially the Bishop boys, have always stayed close to our hearts. Jimmy will truly be missed. His presence, his spirit and the bond of family are gifts we will forever treasure. While we grieve his passing, we also hold onto the comfort of knowing that his legacy will continue to live on through the many memories that were created and shared. With love and deepest sympathy, Sherry, Micheal, Doug and Carolyn Gail Wiley

"In the memory of our cousin, Jimmy Bishop, Sherry, Micheal, Doug and I want to share our love and heartfelt condolences with his family and friends. Some of our happiest memories are from those summer of our youth running around with the Bishop boys whenever we came to visit. Those were such special times, full of laughter and the kind of joy that sticks with you for a lifetime… cousins’ fun. Even though the years and distance created gaps in our gatherings, the love and happiness we shared have always helped bridge that space. Jimmy will be missed dearly, but the mark he left on all of us will remain. We’re grateful for the memories and for the time we had together.
