I wish we could have had more time together, but that is selfish on my part. I will always have you close, as your soul lives on in your son, my husband. Any one he meets will know of you and love you. Please pass your strength on to Brandon in the days, years and BAMA seasons ahead. I miss your jokes, your sarcasm, and your pure love for your son. Watch over us and remember to leave the light on to welcome us home...and say hi to my dad too, will ya?

Jimmy,
You've been a very good friend and one that I will dearly miss! I have very fond memories of you growing up, especially during our teenage and early adult years. WOW - Great Times, Great Memories! You will always be special to me. I will miss you!
