Jim, Jo and family,
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of water. Words cannot express the sympathy we feel for your family at this time nor can we imagine the grief you are going through. Just know everyone is thinking of you.
Love, Brenda, Paul and Melissa

My funniest memory of Jimmy was 1984 and I invited him over for dinner. It was the first time I had ever made meatloaf in my life. How was I supposed to know that tomato sauce, raw egg, and aluminum baking pans don't mix? Rick, the kids and I stopped eating it because it tasted horrible, and Jimmy(being polite)kept choking it back with a smile on his face!!! The poor kid!! Rick had to take it away from him, because he didn't believe me when I told him it was bad. From that day on, every time we had a family gathering, Jimmy would always say to his mother,"I hope to God Kathy's NOT making MEATLOAF!!"

In Loving Memory Of My Brother
Jimmy
1968 - 2007
A Brother is someone we turn to
when we have things to share
and always there to lean on
to make our burdens easier to bear.
A Brother is someone we cherish
and count on for everything.
He is always there for you,
so much happiness he will bring.
A Brother is always there
when our tears are about to fall,
he will use his hands
and wipe them all.
For this my brother,
I want you to know,
you'll be in my heart forever,
and I will always love you.

mom and I are so sorry that this happened and we will miss Jimmy very much, especially the way he always teased me when I would come to the house. I will also miss making him HAMBURG SOUP for his birthday every year. I know how he looked forward to that every year. with love and sympathy gramma[Phyllis Gravell] and Bonnie Racine

I'm sorry this had to happen to you. Too many disasters all at once. Too many sleepless nights. I wished I could have hugged all your tears away, and got you to laugh, like back when we were "Little Carol & Little Jimmy", but that was a long time ago. Your spirit is free now. No more worries. No more obligations. Just peace. And a lot of sadness and grief from those of us who truly loved you.
