Ruth, I'm so sorry for the loss of Jimmie. He was such a special man with a sense of humor, which I'll always cherish. He is in a far better place now but we will join him one day soon. God bless you, Ruth, and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It's not "good-bye" Jimmy; it's "see you later."

Jimmy will be missed; he was such a nice person, always smiling! At least we know that we will see him again because his faith was in Christ Jesus. So many prayers are being said for Ruth and Jimmy's Family; it's wonderful to be in the family of Christ.
