There is so much my heart would like to say but it is so hard to find the words. I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Uncle Jimmy, I remember as the joker, as I grew up. We were just having Thanksgiving dinner last year. I guess this goes to show that we shouldn't wait for the holidays to see family. God has a plan for everyone. Jimmy, you put in your time. It is now our time to remember you as you were in life and all that you brought to our lives.

I remember the many times Bonnie's little brother and my little brother got together to give us girls a hard time. Hated it then, smile about it now. What I remember most about Jimmy, though, is how hard he always tried to make people happy. When he did, his smile would light up the whole world! Peace and comfort to you now, Jimmy, and to your family as well.
