You probably don’t know this man. \u00a0He was one of the first people I met when Sherlene and I moved to Corbin over 35 years ago. \u00a0He and his wife Opel became some of our best friends. \u00a0We went to church together, belonged to a “young” couples Bible study group, yes I was young back then! \u00a0We became great friends, he was one of the most decent men I knew. \u00a0I love his family and I pray for them daily. \u00a0He was a great loss for me, Sherelene, his family, and our church, and community. \u00a0He was worthy of praise and his visitation and funeral were attended by huge crowds of people that loved and appreciated him, he will be missed. \u00a0He was a Christian who lived his faith.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the same day he died from a stroke, another famous man died, \u00a0His picture was on the front page of national newspapers. He was described as a hard charging political animal who did what he had to to win, no matter what. \u00a0How sad for that to be your legacy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jim Trivette was a good man, he made a difference, nothing like that could ever be said of him. I know their was a great celebration when he arrived in Heaven!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s how I want to live and die.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks Jim for showing me the true path with your life!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
