Julie and family,

I am so saddened to hear of your loss. Your son was a shining star here so vibrant and radiant. I am sure he is shining now with God and watching upon you all with angel wings. You have always meant the world to me Jules and I hope you know that no matter how much time goes by you can always count on whatever comfort I can bring you. Words will never ease your pain, but know that we can celebrate his life and legacy until you see him again. My prayers, love and heart is always with you.

Julie, Jimmy and Family,
At this heart wrenching time there is no way in seeing God's reasoning behind taking away a life so soon. The pain in your hearts will not go away soon enough, for being able to face another day. Remember, God will not put you through more than thy can handle and he will always walk beside you. Jimbo will watch from above, waiting to once be reunited with his family again. May God bless all of you with love and guidance in such a time of loss.
Love,
"Little" Larry and Crystal Betts

Jimbo, You were one heck of a nephew, we loved coming to Ohio to visit , watch you play football at Bloom Carroll, and all the Buckeye parties your mom and Nickie had. One memory that I will always remember is Amy (when she was about 2) pulling you and Nickie around the old apartment by your hair, you guys just let her do it. To Julie, Jimmy, Nickie and Joe I can't even imagine what you are going through, you are in our prayers,we will see you all tomorrow. Love you.
