Damn how I still miss you. I long for our long talks or a drive around town or just a few minutes before the day ends..
Your smile brought life everywhere you went, Your talks and a hug was always the most genuine. I could go on forever because you was such an amazing soul.
You will forever be a very big piece of my heart. You was my absolute best friend and I love you so much for all we was together. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of my life!!!
You may be gone but you’ll NEVER be forgotten.

Well, I am all alone. I miss you so much tonight. I would give anything to be able to call you. To take you to lunch and tell you about all the things going on in our lives right now. I still cry sometimes knowing that I don't have a way to reach you. I never even got a chance to really bloom and make you proud. You never got a chance to meet my son or even see how beautiful your grand daughter is. I wish I could see you just one more time. You probably think its silly that I am writing here but I just needed to get that off my mind. I really hope that the whole "Until I see you again" thing is real. I love you more than you will ever know.
kisses to heaven. we love you so much.

A million times I needed you, a million times I have cried. If love could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place that no one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone; most of me went with you, the day God took you home.

Jim,
I just awoke at 3:41 am next to addison with tears in my eyes on January 18, 2015 I had a dream about the time me you and Mika were at 7 eleven and we started break dancing you always had the purest smile on your face I haven't said it much to anyone because the circumstances at hand but I miss you very deeply you really tought me to grow and how to be a better man and a loving father to your grandchild I could never repay you for the love and kind heart you offered me but I will always respect you and see you in a way that a lot of people around you had the joy to share I love you jimbo and I miss you very much and so does everyone that's had the pleasure of meeting such a fine man and caring human being may you rest in peace until we meet again my friend

last night richard and his family came over for a movie night and pizza to see if they could help me out. they spent all night here and as they were leaving amy said aunt patty dont forget to tell uncle jimmy hi too. richard was devestated. cried most of the night and felt so bad for me, i kept trying to tell him it was alright she is only little and didnt know any better and i was more worried about him getting it across to her that you had gone to heaven so she didnt get hurt. then i cried myself to sleep. nothing makes sense anymore. i feel you here all the time but i just cant touch or talk to you. we all are thinking of you all of the time. richard did some work on your car to help out too. he loved you so. i wish i could explain to him how much you loved him too. well. i am watching the children so i must get back to that. my wonderful husband. fly free.

ok a second story for you to let you know we are missing you and it is far from all fun and games. little kya hears some one outside and she runs to the door saying papa, papa. i let her walk around with the house phone most of the day because she sits and talks to you saying papa this, papa that. she kisses the picture of you on your phone. last night addy slept over so i had arya and addy in the bedroom and as you know arya went right to sleep so i put her in her little bed on my side, but addy asked me if she could sleep on your side of the bed and use your pillow so of course i said yes, well instead of laying down on the pillow she lays it next to her where you should be and says to me... i am going to pretend like this is grandpa. i love him grandma. i will keep you in their lives and their hearts forever for i know how much you loved them. rest well my love.
Patricia Drake
May 2, 2014
you will not believe the story i have to tell you! yesterday i took addy and arya in your car to your services, i wasnt playing music so it was quiet and i could hear the two of them talking in the back seat. addy said to arya where we going and arya says we are going to send grandpa to heaven. i smiled a little bit and then i heard arya go on...you see addy if you are a liar or a thief you have to go down (she points down) and then castiel (an angel from tv) pokes and pokes you forever but if your good you get to go to heaven. addy is quiet for a moment and then says to arya, i think i want to be a thief so i will let castiel poke me forever. i was ready to burst out laughing when arya turns to addy and yells at her, ADDY! we are all gods children! what what! you would have been laughing so hard with me. they love you so much! i will keep you forever alive in their hearts!

your music is ready. i think you will really like it. you wont believe the things your dad to make this so special. there is nothing that you wouldnt be so happy and proud to know. i hope you could see the love and the hurt i see in your dad and your sister. they loved you jimmy and they are trying to hard to show it. you would be so proud of what we all put together. so happy with us working together. maybe some family and friendship can come out of this like you always hoped.well i am slept most of the day but i am going to try to sleep and come spend the day with you, get you all cleaned up for your party. i got you the outfit we were going to get for our next wedding. spring, summer and this year was our autumn wedding.perhaps in the falling leaves of heaven. i love you. see you tommorrow.

Scouts, church, running around as kids. The only thing more surprising than hearing of Jimmy passing so young it's reading Mike's words "another heat attack", who knew? Guess I should keep closer tabs on old friends. Miss you man.

I'm very sorry for the loss of such a great person. Jimmy was always kind and a friend to everyone. He will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Patti,
I am so sorry that you have lost the man you loved since you were 14. It is hard for me to imagine a life without Jimmy in it, and for you I know you are terrorized about how you will go on. There is no easy suggestion, rather the only way to go on is in 5 min. increments. You have to breathe in, and breathe out. I could not be more sorry for yours and the girls loss.
