Dearest Jimmy- I just wanted to reiterate how much you are missed and loved. Tried to send a message on the 13th month anniversary of your passing but for some reason it isn't added into your book of love from all of those who loved you so much. This is the season of Christ's birth and I so wonder if it remembered in heaven as it seems there would be no need for it there. To think he loved us so much that he sent his only son to save us from ourselves is so incredibly beautiful! What a joy...

I can't believe that over a year has past and I still find it hard to accept you are gone. Still shocking. You would be very happy that I am in a good relationship and do well in my business. I have got back into music more again, I know it's because of missing you. But I'm playing here and there and still making movies. I plan to use some of your songs in my film. I know you are in a wonderful place where love is all around you. I want peace for you and all my loved ones and I wish so much...

This was your day here in this big school of life on earth. It makes me wonder if there is such a celebration in the world of paradise. You would be one year old again-oh to know that peace?! Happy Birthday to you dear Jimmy-I would so selfishly love to share it with you again and again-but I am blessed to have shared so many as we did. This time of year is when every thing is in its passing and lulling til spring, like a waiting game to see what comes back to revisit the earth.What I know is...

Well Pal (Snickerdoodle)...It has been a lonely year without you my friend. Everyone that knew you struggles with missing you. You left us way too early. I miss talking with you daily, working with you in the studio and most of all, just knowing you were there to help in any issue I might have. One day we'll meet again, when they ring those golden bells for me. Until then, know that you are missed everyday.
Your Forever Friend,
Tommy (T.O.) and as you called me - "Sweet Pea"...

One year ago yesterday and there are still no words to convey the real meaning of your loss. You were my dear friend, the "Big Bro" I never had but always wanted. I barely had time to appreciate how lucky I was to have you in my life before the Angels were whisking you away to Paradise.

I miss all our talks on the front porch. I miss your wonderful stories, because nobody could tell a story as good as you could I miss your smile, your laugh, your hugs, your love and your...

Jello,
A year today. It still hurts as if it were yesterday. You at a year, mom three years before, George three years before that. It makes it so hard to feel happy and go on. I know you are with most of the family on your side while a few of us still struggle over here. It is God's plan and I know we must continue, but it is so hard to be the "pollyana" I once was. Selfishly I still want you here. I want to have another BS session with you. I want to talk about the old days,...

When I cried a tear , you wiped it dry with your kindness and love. When I was confused you cleared my mind with your brilliance and funny wit.If I sold my soul you would buy it back for me with your caring and understanding of the years of pain and sorrow in such a background as mine, and you had such a beautiful family of love! You held me up and gave me liberty and somehow you always needed me.And I can't believe it was you and you were true, I needed you and you were there. And I sang it...

Jim, here is a long tribute to you and Karla close to the one-year mark of your passing. I did not realize the call was October 25, while you passed November 9. This was a very long time indeed for Karla to be with you without conversation or your full consciousness. She is a strong woman yet suffers sadness over this, understandably. I have had several close calls with my husband Kurt over recent years and share to some degree what this must be like for Karla who obviously loves you...
