Missing you so much after all these years, you were a wonderful friend and inspired me to do way more than I ever thought I could...never a day goes by without my missing you. I hope the fishing is great and you are happy and content doing photography and flashing those baby blues at all the people you meet and befriend, like you did me...I sure hope there is no Lavender up there where you are, I know how much you hate Lavender festivals..hugs my sweet friend..

Happy Birthday Jimmy.... I still miss you every day and cry at unexpected times just thinking of you and how empty I feel without you. You were One-in-a-Million and we truly were KINDRED SPIRITS. We connected in ways that only people dream about...
I thank every day you came into my life and it's if someone knew how much we truly needed each other. Life has it's strange twists and turns and feel our ending should have been so different. Your kindness and intellect was something no one should ever have taken for granted...
I love my conversations with your Mom and she sometimes calls me, as I feel it brings solace to us both. I know your Mom and sisters loved you so much and missed seeing you. I visit you & your Dad's grave site weekly and that brings me some peace but still feel so deeply saddened that you were taken so soon and unexpectedly... it's so unfair Baby, and still replay how it could have been different.
I still sleep with the special blanket & fuzzy pillow you gave me & most importantly, I will Always Carry You in My Heart... You Truly Were the BESTEST!
I Love you My Blue Eyed Cowboy! CYK-CYH-CHP-CH?-DWH-TTT-LP
Your Peaches, your Sweet Cheeks, your Mermaid

I am so lucky to have had the honor to become his friend for the last two and a half years and will treasure the memories of his wonderful stories, his encouragement of my art and photography, his incredible wisdom, the joy of laughter he added to my life & smile he left on my face.
