Jimmy,
The world will never be the same since we lost you. You were the perfect example of how a person should be. You had a HUGE and giving heart, and you always had a smile on your face that brightened up everyone's day. You always spoke to me and asked me how I was doing when I was around you. I felt at ease around you and comfortable to tell you anything. You always listened and didn't seem to judge anyone. You always spoke to my little girl Abigail when she was around too. You were such a fun person to hang out with Jimmy. One thing I'll never forget about you, besides your kindness, is your love for pirates....that and how you loved to work at the haunted hayrides with Jason and Chris around Halloween. I'm going to miss seeing you around Jimmy, but I will treasure the memories (almost 7 years of them) that I have of you. You were a good friend who really meant a lot to me. R.I.P. Jimmy. Love ya friend.
