Chris & Dylan,

Billy and I were shocked to hear of Jimmy's passing. I remember Jimmy from our sons all going to the Hosmer pre-school together. I remember thinking before I got to know Jimmy, what a wonderfull and devoted father he was. You could see the love in his eyes for Dylan as he walked him into school each morning. As we all got to know each other and trade stories while we were waiting to pick up our kids I remember thinking what an extrodinary couple you both were, such devotion and love for your son. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Dylan during this difficult time.
