Love you Jimbo! In all the years we have known each other, I have never seen you more happier and complete than after the day you met Paula. She changed your life so much! I always enjoyed the photo updates of you two traveling around and enjoying life. It seems that you two did that a lot! You two enjoyed life and shared more in the years you had together than most couples do in a lifetime. She will truly be missed.
