So many years later. I never knew and my heart breaks even now. I've never forgotten you. You were so good to me and made me feel safe. Between my military service and you moving to Utah it became harder to stay in touch. You have always been and will continue to be in my heart. May your family feel peace and the light and warmth of your presence always. Rest in Peace Jimmy.

Hey Jimmy... I know that I am the last person you would expect to be leaving a note again. I wanted to thank you. In some strange and bizzare way, you connected Russ and myself. You always knew that he was always like a brother, and losing track of him really hurt. Anyway, since you were called away, we have been there for each other.

Anyway.. I just wanted to tell you that you are still very missed.

I know you are watching everything from where you are..

To our Dear Son

Jimmy we both love and miss you so very much- not a day or night goes by that I don't think about you, the nights are especially hard - I will never forget this past Christmas day -We had such a good time looking at old pictures and talking about past family times, your last phone call to me is still on my mind, you called to say you had arrived at St. George airport safely and your good friend Steve was there to pick you up. I miss your calls at the shop. Life will never be the same-- We Love you! Mom & Dad

Jimmie,

You will be greatly missed. I want to thank you for always being there for my little sister(Diane) when you guys were younger and for the 30+ years you have been friends. I will always smile and laugh when I think back on You and Diane , Kerry and Russ and Karen back when you guys were in Jr High and High School , like when Diane came to realize that it was your big brother Tommy that I was talking about when I spoke of Donald and Tommy. Diane has always had some great stories to tell.

Friday was one of the hardest days in my life, seeing the news and having to tell Diane. My heart broke even more as I listened to her cry and tried to find words of comfort, and with knowing what your family was experiencing.

My heart goes out to them.

I asked my Dad to keep an eye on you up there and show you around since he has a couple of years experience now.

I guess Diane and I won't be able to leave notes in your Mom and Dad's mailbox around the holidays anymore.

Well I guess it's time for me to say "Good-Bye" for now.

Your smile and laughter will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

Jimmy,

I just found out about your passing yesterday (I know you know why) and I'm sure it will be a while before it really sinks in that you're gone. When ever my phone rings at 2am I'm sure I will still expect to here you saying "you're not sleeping are you?". I can't beleive how many memories came back to me over the past 24 hours, we really had some good times! I hope you heard me sing our song yesterday, "you ain't much if you ain't Dutch". I still don't know if you're really Dutch or not:) I said a prayer to my Dad and told him to look you up and show you around up there. You two always got along so good, and that was just about impossible for anyone to do.

You are a one of a kind person and I know that I will never meet anyone just like you. You were my protector when we were young, "my big brother" as you would say to any guy who you thought might want to ask me out!

I Love you Jimmy! You will hold a special place in my heart forever!

Love, Your little sister,

Diane

Well little brother, 37 days have past, And it has been one long and gloomy month.I have never experience such pain, grief & sorrow in all my life. And then having to go tell Mother & Dad, Was Pure Hell. My journey to bring you back home was done with out hesitation, It was a very quiet trip to Utah, But my thoughts were full of days gone past. Life has Changed, I have Changed, But my memories of you will Forever Remain the Same. I wish to Apologize to All, Especially to my Parents for not attending the services. I just couldn't Bear the thought of having that day included in the Memories that I have of my Little Brother. Jimmy, You should be proud for having know so many Caring and Loving Family members and Friends.You have touched their Hearts and Souls and will Live in their memories forever. The time has come to close this Memorial Book, For life must go on. I know that all of us are going to miss you. In closing I"m going to quote my closest Life long Friend, Uncle Ron "It Just Aint Right"

Good By Jimmy. Your Big Brother,Tom

Dear Jim,

I am sure going to miss you on your Birthday when you could'nt cook your favoritemeal,(Lasagna and spounge cake, just like your Mom always made you. Josh, Robert, and William still answer the phone,(Halloooooo, to this day). You were a good friend and we will never forget how much you meant to us and how you did so much for our 3 boys. The topper was when you toilet papered our half way done house. When we sit in our house, we alyays think about how much work you did to help build the house too.You were our first friend when we moved here and we miss and think about you every day.

Love, The Lindsay Clan

The news came as a shock to me. We literally grew up together. Even though you aren't here with us in the physical body, your presence will always be felt. We had alot of good times in school, and some bad.. But,, we were always friends. I will never forget you or the times we shared as kids growing up. Thanks for the hug,, you know when.

Love always!

Hey Jimmy, it's Crystal *AKA Frank's kid* I know I didn't know you half as well as others. But I still have my fair share of memories with you. Especially out at the races or at the race picnic type things. I'm sorry I didn't know you better, but I know, along with many others, I will miss you deeply. Thanks for all the memories that I will hold deep in my heart. Like my dad said in an earlier entry, see you on the other side! *Crystal Omboli*

Jimmy,"ELMER" No words can ever say how much you mean to me. You are my bestest friend and then some. Please stay close to your family's hearts and bring them the comfort and happiness that comes so natural to you. You have touched the hearts of everyone who knows you. Jimmy PLEASE stay extra close to Tommy. Help him thru this very trying time for he has been a rock, not only to me, but for everyone. Help him to know that this is not goodbye for we'll all be together again in that great Looney Bin in the sky. Help everyone to understand that we all grief in our own way. I am much richer for knowing you and THANK YOU for lettng me meet all these wonderful FRIENDS and FAMILY. The love and warmth that surrounds you is overwhelming. I know you're going to be busy comforting everyone, but Please don't forget me. Because I could not have made it this far without your love and strength. Eternally my love,

Carrie
