PAGE 3 James Lewis Passes Away James Lewis, a resident of Crawfordville, Georgia, took his last breath on this earth on March 26, 2024. James, and his wife Jackie, moved to Crawfordville from Florida several years ago to be near their daughter and grandson, Victoria and Brandon Lewis. Shortly thereafter their granddaughter and her husband, Christina and Frederick Wainwright, and their sons, followed. Later, daughter Valerie moved here to help take care of her dad. James went to be with Jesus after a prolonged illness and will be greatly missed by family and friends. His sweet spirit projected Jesus in all he did and said. James will be laid to rest in Florida and there will be no memorial service in Crawfordville. Please keep this family in your prayers as they suffer their loss. Victoria wishes to add this: It is believed that rain during a passing is a cleansing - rain was considered good luck and if you heard thunder it meant the spirit made it to heaven!! We had a beautiful thunderstorm the day daddy died!! Services Held For Will “Buddy” Hall Mr. Will “Buddy” Hall was born on February 24, 1965 to Rueben and the late Elizabeth Hall.
