Oh Jim, my Lil Jim..I know your at peace now. I know that beautiful voice is now being heard with love and song in your heart. I Love You, always have always will. I had hoped I had done my very best, but often questioned myself, what I could have done different, and I still have no right answers. My heart is with you and Gram and Uncle Lee, your two favorite people. I know your Pickin N Grinin now. Forever Your Mom.
