I was first shocked when I heard, last week, Jimmy was in ICU. He was just one of those people you think will be there forever, helping everyone. I have reminisced this past week about things we did when we were young. Good or bad, I can not remember him when he was not smiling. My sweet cousin you made mark on many and you will be missed.

I have just loved going to Vowells furniture over the years to see Mr Vowell and let him assist me with my selections. He prided himself on having American Made items. I enjoyed shopping there because he was such a nice person and always helpful, I will miss him.
