Uncle Jimmy and I had a very special relationship, as I am sure he had with many, many others. We could go for long periods of time without talking, but when we would finally connect, it seemed like we had talked only yesterday. He was always so sweet to me and made me feel so special. He had that ability. I mourn his loss as do the rest of his friends and family that love him. Thank you Uncle Jimmy for just being "you". Your Neice.

He was the sweetest brother any girl could have. I loved him very much. He was two years younger than me, and he always looked out for me and protected me. He called me 10 days before he died, and talked for over an hour. He told me he loved me, and I told him I loved him very much. He was so humble . . . not boastful or proud. I talked to him many times about the Lord. My heart is broken in two. He is in a better place, and I know I will see him again someday.

I will miss Uncle Jimmy a lot. I loved his sparkling eyes and his kind ways. We enjoyed communicating by E-mail often. We have a whole in our hearts, but we will see him one day again in heaven.
