Cousin Jimmy, I can't believe your gone. I didn't even know until a few minutes ago when I came across your moms post on facebook. You know I don't see the family much but you were one of very few I kept in contact with. You and I were close. I can't believe your gone. I guess I just assume we live forever and then God takes what belongs to Him. But I know there is life after death so I will only remember you in the living because your really not gone to me. You live on through memory and family and reunite one at a time. I'll miss you but I know your having fun in Heaven. I can't wait to see you again. Save me a spot in your new beautiful home. I love you and will always think of you. Love your cuzzo, Chris

I Love You Jimmy!!!!!

Jimmy took an interest in and could converse easily with anybody. He took excursions through the fields to the creek with younger cousins in tow, played basketball with his aging uncle, frolicked in the surf with his siblings at Bethany Beach, and attended to his elderly grandmother. His premature death is tragic, but he lives in the memories of all of us who he loved. Aunt Carol and Uncle Peter (Bethesda, MD), and Cousin John (Cambridge, MA)
