I just returned to town and heard about Bill. Your mother Patsy was a very dear friend and fellow St. Margarets Circle "buddy" who is dearly missed. I met Bill a few times and he was always filled with joy and of course stories. May he rest in peace beside Patsy - My prayers are with the entire family.

My sincere condolences to the entire Jimerson family. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jimerson a few times and was always fond of the kindhearted stories I heard about him from my sister, Kristin and her husband, Frank. With the recent loss of my own father in January, I can surely empathize with your loss and wish you peace in the wonderful loving memories he left behind.
