I was so very saddened to learn of Jimmy's passing . He was such a dear sweet man, with his soul mate Jennie by his side . I have many fond memories of time spent with them at Maternity BVM's Valentine Mass & Dinner Dance every year, where they were always the longest married couple, and at BVM's annual Volunteer Appreciation Night . May he rest in peace in the palm of God's hand, and may God watch over his dear Jennie .

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Grief can be so hard but our loving Heavenly Father can help to cope. 2 Corinthians 4:7. He can give you the power beyond what is normal. May his love and support help you through this time.-Romans 15:4.
