I love the Jimmerson Family, especially Arthur. His Loving, Beautiful Mother, who I affectionately called, Mrs. Jimmerson, taught me how to FrenchBraid my three Beautiful Daughters hair, as she kept her Beautiful Daughters hair Braided. I´m Cathy who lived across the street, as The Davis Family, at 6812 Plymouth. I´ll turn 70, on September 9th, so I have loved, little Arthur since he was a young child. When he was 9, he wanted to be a boxer, and was a Brave and Courageous Boy. I´m Praying for This Wonderful, Precious and Loving Family. I will never forget, Arthur. Gone Too Soon. Saw his Beautiful Children at the HomeGoing Service Online, my BabySister Pauline sent me. I´m so glad she did.
