Brady and Sarah,
I lived across the street from you when you were little and I used to babysit the two of you. Your dad was a good man. I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jimmy. Even though we've only known him since we became next door neighbors three years ago, we got to know him well. He was a most kind individual and a great friend. He will be missed.

Jimmy--This just doesn't look like you belong on this page. Hasn't been that long since we visited with you and your mom in your room. You have left a lot of heartbroken people here, but you are in a better place now. We will take care of Meredith, and we will all revisit happy times with the both of you in sweet memories. Love you.
