I am so sorry for your loss. Jimmy was always great at helping our family during any loss. I would have been going crazy if it wasn't for him two years ago when I lost both of my grandfathers in two weeks. He took me under his arm and helped both my brother and I to get through the whole process in both cases. He was a very sweet man and will be missed by all that knew him and especially our family.
