Sherry,
Words can never ease the pain that you are going through. The last time I spoke to Jimmy he was conforting me on the loss of my son Jonathon. That was just the Friday before. I can say that Jimmy was a friend and many times we spoke about family. The way he spoke of you and the girls just made his face light up. Then when Zoe came along he and I spoke of the joys of spoiling our Grandchildren. I wanted to give you my heart felt Condolences for your loss. Sherry, Thank you for what you did for my family during our time of need and If you ever need to talk please call.

Dear Sherry and family,
I was so distressed to learn that Jimmy had gone to heaven at such a young age. He will be missed but with God's love,and compassion for his children, you will be comforted and blessed. Our family circle is getting smaller, but we have comfort of knowing there is a better place waiting on us and we will be together again some day. Love and prayers for all of you.

Dear Meagan, I met your Dad once, when Zoe first arrived, and my first impression of him was a very good one. I am a believer in my first impressions, and I wasn't wrong. Your Dad was a wonderful person and I am certain you were always proud to call him your Dad. I understand your pain because I lost my Dad of a sudden heart attack as well. He was only 53. I know how much you are hurting but plese know that time will help. Meanwhile, I want you to know we are all remembering you and your family in our prayers. Love, Natalie

I am so sorry to learn of Jimmy's passing and want to express my deepest sympathy to his family. Jimmy and I were school classmates (grammar through high school - Lewisville High School Class of '68). He was a very special person and friend. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

So very sorry. I worked with Jim at Lowe's years and years ago and saw he and his wife with their cat, Jude, when they brought Jude into Lesslie Animal Hospital. I was a young employee back then and Jim was always professional and kind. I will miss seeing him! God bless his family during their grief.
