Dear Linda
I was so sorry to hear about Jimmy. One thing that stands out in my mind was the day of your surprise party. You looked up at him and then at me and said "Isn't he so handsome."
Yes, he was.
And although I was only in your company a handful of times, it was clear that you had a very wonderful relationship.
May God comfort and hold you during this very sad time. You and your girls will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love (Nancy's cousin) Cathy Vasey

Dear Linda, Jaime, Loren and the O'Connor family,
Words cannot express our deep sorrow, and our deepest sympathies to you all, our hearts are broken. Jimmy made the world a little brighter with each smile he smiled, Heaven is now a lot more fun. And although we only knew him a short time in comaprison to many, we feel like we have known him forever and like the minister said at the wake, he had a charm and a way that made everybody feel special. We have so many fond memories of Jimmy, too many to count, all happy ones and all filled with laughter and love. He lived life with passion, and I hope that people learn from his actions. Not only was he always ready with a one liner, he was constantly there for you, a great listener and a friend you can talk to. Telling stories of his youth and family, to his favorite movie, to his pride he felt about Jaime and Loren. Both Jimmy and Linda (on separate occassions) visited me in the hospital when I was sick, he and Linda both said it was no big deal, but it was and is. He was that kind of guy, with love, values and class. He will be missed, and we loved him and love your family.
Love, Kelly and Drew

Linda and Family, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Even though I hadn't seen Jim in a while, when we would see each other, he had that way of making you feel like you were his best friend. He was warm, funny, and genuinely a good man. I am truly sorry.
