Deb, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I wish I could be there with you. I know he's watching over you and loves you so much. I'll always be a phone call away. Call whenever you want. I love you so much.
Jimmy, friends have come and gone but you were always there. Now you're gone and I'll never have a friend/cousin like you again. We had so much fun when we were little and even when we grew up and hung out. I'll always cherish those memories and you. I'll miss you always and love you forever. You truly were the best friend I ever had. I'm so sad that it had to end this way. I love you.

Jimmy,

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Debbie,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. There are no words to comfort you right now, but I hope in time you will find peace. I remember Jimmy as a baby and little boy. Lainie and Tricia had him over my Mother's and gave him some rolled bologna. He choked. They ran! I pulled the bologna out of his mouth. I thought I would have a heart attack and Jimmy......he wanted more bologna!

May your best and most wonderful memories comfort you.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.


Spread those wings & fly free !
RIP Jimmy

HAPPY TIMES
