Happy belated birthday Jimmy! Oh my gosh Ellie and Parie couldn't be in better hands. Your mom and Aimee are taking such good care of them and spoiling them rotten. Aimee posts pictures of Pairie all the time. The way them dogs are being treated they will probably out live us all. Our family has lost so many the last few years. It is just comforting knowing you are all together. Love and miss you so much. Love Auntie Mickie

Jimmy 3 years have passed since you were taken from us. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday other times seems like it has been much longer. You are missed more than you will ever know. I love and miss you so much!

January 31, 2014

My Son, It has been a few bad days as I think about you and 3 years ago today was the worst! I had a food allergy reaction and last night I had to go the ER and get it taken care of. It was covering my chin and it swelled my lips and I was worried that it would affect my eyes. I got IV's and a couple prescriptions and I hope to be better in a few days. I miss you so and I will always love you.

November 11, 2013

Son, I am working on getting out the Christmas stuff. I know its a little early but what the heck! I am still putting up the hot air balloon I bought you for Christmas 2010! I hope it lasts forever!! You are always in my heart. Love MOM

May 18, 2013

Well Jimmy just sitting here thinking of you and Johnny and well I sure hope you guys are enjoying your time together because the ones you left behind are having a hard time without you. I think of you guys everyday and and miss you more and more. Love You! Auntie,Mickie

April 6, 2013

Well Jimmy you and Johnny are together again. It is not how we wanted it to be. Would rather the two of you causing a little trouble in Florida or Chicago but God had different plans and we should not question his reasons. We miss and love you more today than yesterday but less than we will tomorrow! Love, Auntie Mick

March 25, 2013

Jimmy just want to let you know to move over and make room because your partner in crime is on his way. You and Johnny together again! All my love ,Auntie Mickie

Happy Birthday Jimmy! Wish you were here to celebrate your day with your mom and Scotty but I know there is a party going on somewhere in your honor. I want you to know maybe I didn't visit you guys in Florida as much as I could've but that didn't mean I loved you any less. I think of you every day and wish I could see your smile or hear your laugh one more time. I would love to see those beautiful blue eyes that smiled when you did. I love you Jimmy and miss you! Love your Auntie Mickie

I'm so shocked to get the news today, I had a horrible feeling in my gut and I wrote five months to late. Jim I will never forget you, I'm glad I got to see your smile and receive your hugs in August when I visited. I don't know how I will get past this now to learn my good friend is gone the same way my baby brother is gone. Jim I will keep you in my hearst as always and see your shining stars in the evenings. You will be deeply missed but you will never be forgotten, Love Always Kim (Dashel) Rolland

My son as I go thru this Mothers Day I will never forget your calls that started with MaMa Son. My heart aches for you everyday. Love you!

March 9, 2011

I am one of the many aunts that Jimmy was deeply loved by. I would like to say I was his favorite but that title belonged to my sister. That didn't bother me though because even her being his favorite he loved and smiled at all of us the same. There isn't a day that goes by that Jimmy hasn't been in my thoughts.It might be when I'm driving down the road and I see a tractor or maybe a pickup and yes even a motorcycle because that was part of Jimmy. I am the mother of a 27yr old and I can't and don't even want to imagine what you Starr are going through.My heart aches for you every day. I just want you to know that YOUR JIMMY left this earth knowing you loved him with all your heart. You, Dave, Scotty and Sam are in my thoughts and prayers daily. We love you. Love and Hugs, Auntie Mickie

My deepest condolences to the Pauley family. I was there about a minute after the accident happened and joined a gentleman that was on the phone with 911. There was little we could do, I held his hand and stayed with him (as well as the other gentleman) and covered him with prayers for God's mercy for his life until the police came and removed us. I'm the pastor of a hispanic congregation, our congregation kept him in prayer during his hospital stay. Please receive our sympathy and prayers.
