Hello my Beloved nephew, it has been 10 years (a whole decade) and I miss more so than ever.
The world as a whole has changed so much in the decade that you have been gone and I wonder if that fighting spirit that you had would have made you an activist for Justice and Peace.
Auntie misses you so but I know that you are wearing your robe fit for any king and are walking on streets paved with gold....continue my Beloved nephew to watch over your children and other family members as you always did while you where among the living.
Love you forever and ever your Aunt Sherri.

My dear beloved first born son, happy 33rd birthday. I remember you being born just like it was yesterday. You are truly missed by me and many more. I will always love you with all my heart and remember Love Never Dies. Rest in Peace my dear and keep watching over us. Love Mommie.

Dear Sweet Nephew, Happy B'Day to you. You would have been 33 years old on the 26th. I remember when you came into this world. At 3 days to 1 week old you were already showing the world that you were going to be a busy body. Your last masterpiece Khloe does the same thing that you did, she turns herself over by lifting and flipping her head. Who would have ever thought!!! You are truly missed nephew. I will never stop loving you and you will always be in my heart and thoughts. Thank you Jimmie for being the wonderful person that you were and for all of your love and most of all for being my oldest nephew. All my love always and forever!!!! Auntie Terri

To my beloved nephew, been reminiscing over photos from Feb 2011 when you came out to help your auntie/mom to celebrate her birthday at the LOFT. What a great time we had. I can hear your voice "Auntie you OK, Auntie you need anything, Auntie you enjoying yourself" and of course being the player that you were, when you saw the group of girls headed to the elevator, "Auntie I'll be right back".

Jimmie, my first born son, today it has been four months since you left for a more peaceful place. It's been hard and I miss you so much, but I know you would want me to go on. The holidays are coming and we all know how much you loved Thanksgiving, mainly because of the food but also because of the family togetherness. Rest in peace my beloved son and I love you very much, Mommy.

Jimmie, my big brother, I miss you more than you know. You have been there for me all of my life, we were like two peas in a pod. When you saw one, most times the other was not far away. We had our ups and downs, but we loved each very much, and I will continue to love you always. Rest in peace my brother and keep both eyes on me as you have always done. Love, your little brother Deon.

Jimmie, my first born grandson, I miss you some kind of terrible you were always there to help me with my car, going to the store for me and sometimes with me and just being there with me in the house just to "check" to see if I was alright or if I needed anything. I know that you were doing your grandson duties but you were also my "friend" and "hang around companion". I sincerely believe in my heart that you knew how much you meant to me although I may not have "said so" I loved you so very much and was always proud of you. I know that you are looking down over me and you see that I still sit on the porch looking "around" I am comfortable that you are safe and happy at your grandmother's side so this makes me happy. Rest in Peace and remember that you were loved from the bottom of my heart. Your Granddaddy

Well nephew, you were my very first nephew and oh how I was so proud to be your auntie. You brought so much joy, happiness and love to me, that I will always have a piece of you inside!!! I miss your handsome face and seeing those adorable bowlegs that you were blessed with. You were indeed a very special person and eventhough you are not here anymore, you will always be inside my heart and soul. I may not have brought you into this world, but I am so glad that I got to share in your 32 years while you were here!!!! Enjoy Your Eternal Rest Nephew. I will never forget you. My darling sweet nephew, with all my love forever!!! Auntie Terri

Well my Dear sweet nephew it has been one month since you departed the land of the living and ascended unto Heaven to receive your Golden crown. You are with your grand and great-grand mother's and making them laugh with your wit and humor also you are using your great grilling skills to keep your uncle Ricky supplied with grilled chicken and laughs for you were just a baby when he departed this life so he especially is enjoying having a football team mate. I still expect to see you come out the front door or to walk onto the porch from having been "around" the corner in the neighborhood. I have so many memories of you always being on the move, something that you had been doing since the age of 7 months. I always only wanted the best for you and that you would be safe, healthy, wealthy, and wise. Well my darling nephew there will be no more runs to the corner market for chicken wings or Aloe Vera drinks for you to make for you are enjoying what you always wanted, a white party. You are wearing all white, your infamous smell good oils and displaying your SWAGGA for all Eternity. Oh how I miss you so but I do know that you are indeed safe, healthy, wealthy and are beyond wise now. Auntie will forever miss you and I know that you are smiling all the time now, there is nothing but Joy and Happiness abound in your spirit. FOREVER XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Words can't explain how much I miss you Jimmie. I try to stay happy but at times I find myself drifting off into a moment of silence and sadness. Last night you came into my dream and asked me how was I doing and I told you I was fine but I really wanted to tell you to come back. I hope to see you again tonight so I can tell you I loved you so much. Continue to watch over me Jimmie....

Jimmy, you were like a lil brotha to me. Once I begin working at PIC umpteen years ago I became a part of an extended family. And, you would come up there and we would talk for hours about everything. Just want you to know that everytime I think of you I think of the smirk smile you would have on your face that let everybody know you either did something or was about to get into something, and that brings a smile to my face. You will truely be missed my brotha. May your soul rest in peace!

Jimmie - It seems unreal that you are gone. We had such a great time together fourth of July. In your witty way, you inspired so much wisdom to Brittney. You have always had a kind and sweet spirit. We love you so much and will miss you deeply. I am still baffled as to why, but I do know God knows all. Brittney and I will miss you deeply and we thank God for your life. You are gone, but will never be forgotten.

Thanks for the times-32 memorable years that you have given me, your memories are all in my mind, and now that we have come to the end of our rainbow, there is something I must say and that is that you are the best Nephew/Son that a Auntie could ever have. You had such a great love for your family, and one of the things that always amazed me was how when you were really needed nobody had to really call you, you just showed up and showed out with what ever was going on, especially when it came to family gatherings and cooking on that grill. You were a very special link to this family, and I will cherish the love and memories, so Rest In Peace....
I Love You. Auntie Linda
P.S., now I going to help your mother with her school bus for all her grand babies (U may be gone, but will never be forgotten, left us enough little Swagga's). I'll be one of her aides.

Well nephew,it's going to be minute, but I know you will help me get thru. I still can't believe that you are gone. I am so glad I got to spend that time with you laughing and joking along with Auntie Sherri on that Friday evening. It was so much fun and like always you had both of us in tears with your crazy anticks. So nephew like you would always tell us "Kick Rocks" and "Duces" Until we meet again nephew, rest in peace!!! With all my love forever, Auntie Terri

J-Jubilant, you were always down for a good time!
I-Inspired, you always made it happen regardless of the trials or tribulations you encountered.
M-Modest, those closest to you knew that you were always humble and could often times humble others.
M-Hilariously Melodic, when you would imitate the famous "whines" of various Marvin Gaye hits!
I-Illuminating, you could bring light into the darkest room physically and characteristically! Lol!
E-Eager, to accomplish in life whatever it was that you desired.
This is the Jimmie that I have known for the past 12 years and it strickens me with grief that all I have to hold upon are the memories of the times we've laughed together, cried together and partied together. Although we have parted ways physically, nothing can separate us spiritually, not even death. Jimmie, you are missed more than words can ever express, however I know that GOD has only done what is best...Until we meet again...
Sorrowfully Submitted,
