I met the handsome Jimmy Gresham in 1984 where we worked at Dynatron Bondo Corporation. We started dating. We were married May 31, 1986. The same day his nephew Guy was born. Jimmy had to take his sweet Sister Edwina to the hospital to have Guy. His best friend Vincent was the best man at our wedding. Our wedding was at the home of his Mother Willene. We have 2 Sons Jameel (Muslim name) who Jimmy named. And later Jeremy Lee Gresham. Jimmy's Big Mama was the babysitter for Jameel (Tootsie roll) and Jeremy (Grandpa). These were her nicknames for the boys. Jimmy and I stayed in contact over the years. And had a special bond and friendship. I will miss our talks and texts. I kept the last voicemail that I received from him. I will always cherish the good times and fond memories of the late great Mr. Jimmy Lee Gresham Jr. Gone but not forgotten. Rest peacefully.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Gresham family in this time of sorrow. Jimmy was such a kind and genuine young man. I had the pleasure of knowing him almost 20 years as the best painter, electrician and friend. He will truly be missed. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
