Jimmy just made everything so much fun. I understand why you loved him so...he was perfect for you and of course, your family. The same Savior that took him home is the same Savior that will continue to be with you. I love you.

I miss you and I love you. You and Sissy welcomed me into the family with open hearts and arms. You instantly made me and my children feel like we belong. I could never thank you enough. Every time I load the dishwasher at your house I look over in your chair to see if I'm doing it right....(I do it wrong on purpose just so you will tell me to leave it.) We're going to take care of mother and Lexie, don't you worry. You have raised a wonderful man in Stephen and I'm so thankful he had you for a father. Till we see you again. Love XO

Mrs. Greene and Family:

My husband Patrick and I are so sorry for your loss. Your grandson, David, is a good friend of our daughter, Dene'. On the few occasions David has visited us he always spoke of such fondness and love for you and your husband.
Again, please accept our deepest sympathy. May God bless you.

There will never be another Jimmy Greene, he was loved by all and will be missed by all. I have some good fun memories of working with Jimmy. There will be a great void in your life now-the greatest thing that you could say about Jimmy was, "He was my best friend". Call if I can help in any way. Family and in are in my prayers at this time. Love Betty Prince
