Dear Denise,
We were so glad to have seen you and Jimmy a few weeks ago. I'll always remember Jimmy as a tough little kid who never walked away from a fight, and we know he fought hard to beat this illness. He was larger than life and I'll miss his free spirit.

Jimmy you lived your life your way - you were a good man and great neighbor and will be sorely missed. I know that you are giving God a hard time about the noise from your heavenly bike. Rest in peace Jimmy and you are now pain free, which I hope can give your family a little comfort in their time of sorrow.

R.I.P. Jimmy.
I recall summers at the Bennett's pool, with you.
Years later, seeing you around the Shore.
You are Very Loved!
Yer nickname maybe "Tiny," but that is the extreme opposite of the Size of Your Heart!
God, comfort those that are left behind. May We find Peace in Our Memories.
Amen.
