Dearest Aunt Rita, Jimmy, Jodi, Mark, Lyn and Kenny
I am including a picture of the three brothers the last time they were in Texas. I will never forget Uncle Jimmy and the spirt in which he lived. He carried his cross without complaining and was a true American Hero. HERO was one of his favorite words so I am sure he is proud that it can now be used to describe him. May his soul rest in Peace. Amen Larry J Miggins & Family

Dearest Aunt Rita, Jimmy, Jodi, Mark, Lyn and Kenny, Sending you our love and prayers at the passing of an "extraordinary-ordinary" man, Uncle Jimmy. I, too, have fond memories of his visits to Houston and specifically of his antics at our pool. We have pictures of how he used to form a train of people in the pool,with all his nieces and nephews behind him,as he snaked through the pool to great fits of laughter by us all. That, and his "whale" fall into the pool from the side. He was...

My sympathy to the entire Miggins family on the loss of your husband,father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. I was fortunate to have had the pleasure of knowing Jim and his tremendous sense of humor. I will always remember the fun he added to the golf tournaments we use to hold up on CT (Steve Spurts Open). His funny stories and the laughter he would bring to a party. May he rest in peace.

To Jimmy, Jodi, Mark, Lyn & Kenny -
My heart goes out to you on the loss of your father. I remember your dad's larger-than-life personality, just as clearly as I remember those big splashes at Venetian Pool. I remember his booming voice (mostly calling "Lynnnnie!"). I remember his imitations -- especially the one where he directs traffic in the manner of Jackie Gleason. He could talk business one minute and then slip into an Irish brogue and tell a story the next. He had an...

Dear Jimmy, Jodi, Mark, Lynn and Kenny: I offer my sincere condolences to you and your families for the loss of your loving Father, Grandfather and Hero. Your Dad is a Great Man! He is a hero for his country. He honored and took pride in his Irish ancestry. He came from a beautiful family. And he raised a beautiful family. One that continues to share all that he brought into this world-- and more. You are blessed. He is blessed. We are all blessed for having him be with us for a while in this...

Miggins Clan, we all grieve the loss of Uncle Jummy, a fine and decent man who will surely go the front of the line at the pearly gates. We can honor him in being more like him and my Dad, they are truly from a great family and leave a fine legacy to carry forth.
all the best, sorry we cannot make the funeral.
Love John Christopher Miggins

To Aunt Rita and our Miggins cousins: Jim, Jodi, Lyn, Mark, Kenny and their families: I'll always remember Uncle Jimmy for the way he could make my dad laugh hysterically while doing silly dances or telling stories about growing up together. It showed me a side of my father that only a close borther could elicit. He was a great man. May he rest in peace!
Love,

I have fond memories of Jim coming to visit us in Ireland. He truly was a great man. Our deepest sympathy to Rita and our cousins and their families
love Helen and Christy Miggin (Ireland)
