Carol and family, I was so sorry to hear about Jimmy and also that I hadn't heard until after the funeral when I was talking to someone who mentioned it, as I DEFINITELY would have came to show my respect. Jimmy was an old friend who hung out with us back in the old days and I have a lot of good memories from then. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. R.I.P., Jimmy

Carol and Family I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Jim that well we did have many conversations at the coffee shop in the old bank building. Jim always seemed like a really nice guy and I never heard him say anything negative about anyone or complain. That wasn't always the case back then in the coffee shop - so Jim's kind demeanor really stood out to me. Always seemed very upbeat to all. My condolences to all of you.

Carol, Jamie, Jeff, Jonathan & Eveline, I am so sorry for your loss. Although Jimmy, was my cousin, I always called him Uncle Jimmy & to me he will always be Uncle Jimmy. I remember spending time with Uncle Jimmy, Carol & the boys when I was growing up. I remember you both taking me to watch one of the boys play hockey. I have wonderful memories with all of you. I will always hold those memories close to my heart. I'd like to think he is spending Christmas in heaven with Matthew this year & every year to come. They are now our Angels & will always be shining down on us. My thoughts & prayers are with you all. Sending you all my love. xoxo

Dear Jamie, Jeff, Jonathan, Evaline & Carol,
I was so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. He was a great guy and always had lots of fun. He will be missed by many. I first knew my cousin Jimmy as Jamesy when we were kids. He out grew the name Jamesy, but he will always be Jamesy to all us Fitzgerald kids. Take care and think of all the good times because there were many.
Love your cousin,
Maureen Fitzgerald Golden
