I was deeply saddened to learn of Jimmy 's death. I know how much all of you meant to him. I have such good memories of your family from the time you lived in Kosciusko. I know that you will miss him and even years after grief will come unannounced. Watching someone you love die is more heartbreaking than death itself. You have the knowledge that you will all be together someday. Until that time may your angel lift you up and may God give you peace.

Those of us who grew up with Jimmy in Kosciusko could share a never-ending list of stories. He was a favorite for a reason. He just brought a smile and a laugh to everyone around him.
Susan was always a ray of sunshine to my late stepmother, Maggie Bell. And, Susan, we truly pray for the peace of Christ for you and your family. Jimmy will indeed be missed by all of us who shared the joy of being his friend.
God bless all of you.
