I was extremely surprised to hear of Jimmie's passing. We graduated in the same year from Norcom High School, were good friends and hung around together, along with Brenda Langley and a few others. I lived in Cavalier Manor. I left in my early twenties and only visited Virginia ocasionally and never ever saw Jimmie again. However, I will always remember the fun times we had together. My deepest sympathies to Jimmie's family.

To Jackie and family:

I extend my heart and love to you during this most difficult and trying time. Please find peace in these words from a poem called "Safely Home":

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now in peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.

Please know that if you need me; I'm only a phone call away. With all my Love

Just wanna say the Shelton's (LeRoy, Bernadine, Yolanda and Danielle) are going to miss him for sure. Minister Lofton, I still want to call him Mr. Shady/Uncle Shady as a habit. He and my dad (LeRoy) were really good friends, hanging and doing stuff in their younger days. He and Ms. Jackie were a funny loving couple and Donica was one of my sister's (Danielle) good friends. He's definately in a better place. Mr. Shady say Hi to my brother (Butch). Much love to him and the family.
