My deepest condolences are sent to my cousin Jimmy and his family she was a wonderful person and mother. When I last saw her around 4 years ago she was not able to speak but she still communicated with a smile. I wish I knew all of Jimmy and Nellies family I am sure they are raised in a manner to give Jimmy and Nellie great pride. I am sorry for all of your losses. I hope to meet most of you next year, again my deepest sympathy.
