I remember talking with Sandra about my wedding in her living room. We looked over and Jim and my husband both were sleep. Much love to Sandra and her family.
I knew Jim Young for 35 years. Sandra and I shared a friendship spanning three decades that began with the opening of Vanderbilt Burn Center in 1983. It was not long until I was blessed to meet Jim. From that first introduction, my heart was warmed by Jim’s kind and gentle spirit. Jim was so proud of his devoted Sandra, his family, and of course his marvelous creations. On many occasions, I was privileged to visit Jim’s cozy space where he created artistic magic; in those moments, I was transported into a state of wonder. He shared his talent with so many and the drawings he created for me will always be preserved and cherished.
To all of the family, and especially my dear friend and “Big Sis”, my heart is with you right now. May God in His infinite grace and mercy give peace to your souls and joy in your hearts as you celebrate Jim’s wonderful life.
Blessings to you all,
Donna B. Hereford
