Dear Eleanor,
It was with sincere sadness that I read of the loss of my dear sweet friend, Jimmy. I have reflected for many hours over the good times, the lean times and the mountains that we climbed together as we prepared for our futures. I will forever treasure those memories of you and Jimmy and the honest and unpretentious spirits that you both possessed. May those memories and those of his life sustain you and give you a calmness. I will forever see his sparkling (mischevious) eyes and wide grin as a bright spot in my life. You and the family will remain in our hearts and prayers.
Love, Dr. Steve & Robin Holcomb
