To the Davis & Margarum family: I went to the cementary today to visit with my little girl, just as I do every Sunday. (She was killed in a car accident 2 1/2 yrs ago at the age of 11). It's then that I saw the beautiful picture of your very handsome Jimmy as I got of my car. My heart sank to think that another parent and family had to feel the pain me and my family have been going through. I want you to know that I know the road you are about to travel - you are and always will be in my prayers. If you ever need to talk to someone that truly understands - I'm here for you. I pray that Jesus carries you on the days you feel you can't go another minute - God Bless you all

I can't seem to find the words to express how sad our family is; but we are grieving with you and praying that God will provide you with the strength you need in the days, months & years ahead. If there is anything our family can do, please let me know.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are about your loss. Jelani met Jimmy when they were four years old and played soccer together. (Go BIG Red!) He was a beautiful child and he will certainly be missed. May God hold you and comfort you in your time of sorrow. Our prayers are with you that one day you will have peace and smile again.

To the Margarum family. I just want to say you have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your son.
I did not know you but I know Rachael. I was at the funeral home with Rachael, giving her the support she needed during this time as she has done for me in the past. I know this is really hard on you and if there is anything I can do, Rachael knows how to get in touch with me.
He sure is a handsome boy and I will keep you all in my prayers.
Again I am so sorry you have to go thru this.
I have a son also a little younger then James ( Jimmy )and I could not imagine what you are going thru.
God bless you and your family !

He is another beautiful angel in Heaven and you will see him again. My heart goes out to you and i will pray for your family during this hard time. God Bless you all.

Jimmy, Leslie, this is Dee Watley, Amandas,Mike,and Jasons mom.Im so very very sorry for what has happened to your precious child. I hope and pray what I tell you will help you some through this terrible time. Im sure you both remember how overprotective I was. I always thought if I was like that, that I was in control, and could control something happening to one of my children. Jason had kidney failure at 23 and I found out the hard way, I wasnt in control like I thought I was, all that protecting I THOUGHT I was doing got me nowhere. God is in control.Like everyone else has said,maybe he needed another angel. I believe in angels, you believe too. Live right and strong for the lord,raise your other child to do the same, and you will all be with your little boy again one day.My heart hurts for your family, and just as when you were teenagers,im here for you,if you need anything just let me know. Youre all in my prayers.

He is there. God bless and I will keep you in my prayers.

My prayers are with you three and your family. There is nothing worst then to lose a child. I lost my boy 6 years ago. I know your pain and it is a long road ahead for your family. Stay strong and remember Jimmy Jr. is your angel watching over you now. Times will be hard and you will wonder why???? Jimmy Jr. was a special child of god and that is why the lord chose him so soon. He's in a place where there is no pain. He is smiling down on you and wants you to know he okay. I love ya very much. I am here if you need me. Here is a poem that a friend of my son wrote when Greg died. I want to share it you.
For Jimmy
There are people
on this earth
who are really angels
sent from God's warm heart.
They are the people
with smiles so warm
your heart is comforted
during the storm.
They start as babies,
a gift from above,
and as they grow
you can't help but love.
they are the ones who
love everyone they see.
One of those angels
was our beloved Jimmy Jr.
He was sweet,
he was kind,
the type of person
your're lucky to find.
No words of comfort
can ever take the place
of his wonderful, smiling ,
beloved face.
We will always love him
and he will always be
constantly watching, guiding,
and protecting you and me.
