Hey Daddy, another year has gone without you with me. It's still hard and still feels like yesterday since you left me. I'm trying so hard to stay strong for myself and get my health back on track. Also staying strong for mom as well. She misses you more than anything. I love you daddy and I just miss you so so much. Love always Pumpkin

Jimmy, It's that time of year again it goes by really quick with you gone.The boys are doing okay and Kourtnee is missing you so much sometimes it hurts to look at her I can see the pain in her eyes. I can't believe it's been this long but I am getting older and you are staying young and handsome. I can't wait to see you again. We love and miss you very much. Dee

Kourtnee is out of the hospital and doing great, you would be so proud of her. Brock has gotten married again and Wayne missing you a lot. Remember we love you and will see you one day. Diana

Jimmy, today marks one year that you've left us. It will be a very sad day for everyone who knew you. We all miss you very much and know that heaven is a better place because you're there. You have two very beautiful daughters and two sons that are going on, even though it's hard without you. They love and miss you just as if you left yesterday. I know you are looking down on them and would be very proud of all them, just like you did when you were with us. Your mother and brother miss you very much. What can I say, everyone that ever met you feels the same way. You were a wonderful, loving person. I know I could never find another son-in-law like you. I know you're in God's care and you will be with us again in heaven. Until then....we all love you!!

It still doesn't seem real that you're gone! I see the hurt every day in the people's eyes you loved and that loved you too! It will be such a sad Christmas for them, especially the kids. They miss you so much! This will be their first Christmas without you. I know you're looking down on them and with proud eyes. They are all good kids and will have the memories they shared with you in their hearts forever!! Merry Christmas!

Dear Son,
I'm sure you didn't realize just how much I loved you and I miss you terribly. I pray to the good Lord to let us keep on going without you and try to just remember the good times we had. Simple things like riding in the car with Kourtnee & Caitlyn laughing and singing. Many weekends, we would play cards, games and laugh together with the kids and ejoy doing simple things that mean so much with family and friends.
I know you're not suffering anymore like you have for the last two years. With Jerry, and Cheryl's devotion to help, we made you as comfortable as we could. I'm so glad you married into a wonderful family who loved you very much and have helped tremendously in the last few years during our worse times.
I know you are with your sister and father and all your family in heaven. We will never forget you. You were the best father, husband and son anyone could have. We will always love you. Love MOTHER

Jimmy, we raised three kids, and 4 grandchildren together. Not one time did you complain. You never missed a ball game. Never missed a doctors appointment. When one of the kids needed you, you was there. Even after they had grown up, they knew they could come to you about anything and you would help them. You never asked questions, just stepped up to the plate and did whatever had to be done. You will always be in our hearts. Because we will miss you always,

Jimmy was one of the sweetest and dearest people I had ever known. We were very proud to call him our son-in-law. He was a devoted father and friend. We will miss him dearly and so will everyone that ever knew him.

Although i only meet your dad once i would have like to have meet him again. From what i could see he was a sweet and kinda man and i am very sorry that he left you and i know he was so young when he left you and that just made it even harder on you because you problaly think that you should have had more time with him but try not to think about the time you should have had think about all the good times and memories you had with him because that is what is most important. I am very sorry he is gone but just know i am going to be here for you just like you where for me when sarge died. i love you and it will get easier in time and it all will be ok again someday maybe just not right now but it will i promise.
Your Bestfriend

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

although i never met your father, i wish you the best of memories. Dwell on the stuff you had together not what you no longer have, because really you still do and always will have him wherever you go, and in whatever you do!
i love you Kourtnee and be happy not for me, but for you....you deserve it!
