I am so so sorry Dottie about Jimmy though I only saw him when your kids were little he always struck me as a kind and good person more importantly you were happy with him I have seen him in more recent times at Joyce gatherings. Dottie if words could take away your pain I'd find them Just keep in mind we are all just passing through and soon all of us will see our loved ones again. My love and prayers to you and your children Love Diane DG
