Iam Laura Rowlett,caregiver and really close friend of Jimmy.I met Jimmy 2yrs ago in February of 2012. Jimmy and I became close very quick and he trusted me as a caregiver because of my past in the medical field.We were introduced by Steve Hardin(Baby)Jimmy needed some immediate daily care and housekeeping in his home and Steve came got me. We worked as a team for a while helping him out as much as possible. Jimmybecame part of my family.My girls, Alexis,Abigail,LeAnn,and Mariah loved their Mr. Jimmy. We shared stories together. we went to walmart every month and done his shopping. Jimmy used to tell me it was the most fun he could have just getting to ride in those electric carts. Lol. So I started taking him on little rides just to get him out the house. I took him to the parks around Bardstown. We watched natural spring waterfalls together. We had goodtimes together alot. I loved cooking for him. Mr. Jimmy and I were true friends and he became a very inspirational and special person to me I loved him like family because he became family. My condolences to to Everyone that Mr James Cambron,Sr. knows and loved. My heart is so deeply saddened that he is gone but even when he was so sick he still had a sense of humor and tried to make me laugh. He was very appreciative and respected. I will greatly miss Mr. Jimmy. Peace and Blessings. Love, Laura Rowlett.
