I remember when you lived in Brockton on Main St (I think) and it was shortley after Uncle Tommy turned the attic into a bedroom for you and Paul David. We used to throw pennies out the window at the cars passing by and then duck. We also threw water balloons filled with shaving cream. I also remember the Brockton police going by and backing up when we had thrown a penny out the window and we ducked. I also remember the cherry pits as Paula mentioned. Do you remember the time when we were visiting and Jeanetta was 3 and you and Paul thought it would be funny to teach her to smoke. I told you not to do it, that it was wrong and do you know that Paula and I were the ones blamed for your stunt. Or the time Jeaneatta rode her big wheel down the cellar steps and knocked her front teeth out? I remember the fun times we had growing up. I'm sorry we moved away and didn't keep in touch. I will never forget the sleepovers and getting Cape Cod Cafe Pizza and having leftovers for breakfast on Saturday Morning. Or the time Uncle Tommy cured my Bronchitis with his homemade remedy.

You will be missed Jimmy. I remember when Kim and I would come and visit you in brockton. Uncle Tommy would have the hearse at the house and washing the stretcher and blankets. You and Paul would joke and tell us there was a body inside the car. You would try to scare us. Spitting cherry seeds off the garage roof to see who could spit the farthest. We lost contact but I have always thought of you and the family, wondering how everyone was. You will be missed very much by all.
You're cousin

Jimmy, the memories we shared growing up together will be cherished forever. God puts people in our lives for a reason, and although I'll never understand how I became so blessed to have been put in your life I thank God he did. I will never forget all the fun times we had together and all the laughs we shared. I was so happy when you came back to MA and stayed with me. I know you are happy in heaven, aside from missing your loved ones, but know that you could never be forgotten. You will stay in our hearts forever. I have really missed you all these years, being so far away, but I miss you even more now. Thank you for giving me so many memories to hang onto. I love you very much. RIP Love, your cousin forever . . . Teresa

Dear Jeannette and Family,

When you think of Jim in the coming days, months and years... hold on to the memories. We never lose the people we love. They continue to participate in every thought, decision and act. Their love leaves a permanent imprint in our hearts and minds.

Know that my prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of Jim. Remember, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God knows your pain and can fill that void if you allow Him to because Jim LIVES in each of your hearts as you continue to live the life God called you to.

Blessings to you!

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm your face,
the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And untill we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

For Jim,and his beloved pets. Pudgy,Tinker, and BeBe..

Jim, you always knew one day we would meet again.
-----------------------------------

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Jimmy, remember you are loved and will forever be loved. Every time I see a Red Sox game I can feel you watching it with me. You helped your little sister become who she is today.

I love you and I will see you soon.

Your baby sister, netta
