Judy and family, I was shocked to hear of Jimmy's death. I haven't seen him since right before my Mom and Dad (Felix & Ann Bledsoe) moved from Holly Drive back in 2003. My Dad always enjoyed Jimmy coming over and visiting with him. Jimmy was always bringing some surprise to either one of my parents just about every time he came over. He was very giving. Please know that if there is anything I can do, just let me know. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am the second daughter, third child, of Phil and Bebe Boykin. I adored your parents! When I was a widow at 24 your father and mother were so great...especially with growing things, flowers, veggies, really anything. Sorry for your loss...I wish I could help you in some way. Please know that you have my deepest sympathy and you are in my prayers. Blessings.

Our sympathy goes to Jimmy's friends and family. He was a very sweet person. He would give the shirt off his back. We couldn't ask for a better friend. We will miss him greatly.
