Dottie, my most sincere belated condolences to you, and to your family.
I always knew jimmy was a much better man than myself, I was happy for both of you to be married so many years ago.
My heart is breaking though I never knew jimmy , but I did know you Dottie, and I'm so very sorry for you .
We've grown through the years and have had suffered loss more than many.
Please know in your heart that God will see you and Jimmy together again.
I'm praying for you and yours.

Dottie and family my heart is aching for you all. Your love, care and strength throughout his illness is immeasurable..
My brother, the jokester the smart alecky, witty guy that would turn everything going on in your life good or bad into a fit of belly laughing. No one could change your mood instantly like he did. I miss him, I'll miss him for all of the above. Memories are precious but they don't fill the void.
Love you forever..

Dear Dottie and Family,
My deepest condolences to the entire Broome family. Jimmy was a dedicated husband and family man, who loved each of you without reservation. He told John that his love for children and grandchildren, and the love they gave back, was what gave him the strength to fight this debilitating disease. I saw it in his struggle this past week. He wanted every minute he could have with you. You are all amazing. I am sure that the love and care you exhibited these last few weeks helped him through this last part of his journey. May his love for you always be with you. May your memories bring you comfort and make you smile. May you continue to draw on each others love as you live your lives, be there for each other as you have been for him, and when in the company of each other, share stories, love, and memories .
Sincerely,
Paula Broome

Jimmy was a great work partner and life mentor when I needed to lean on him. Laughter was always plentiful when he was around, there were not many bad days at work because of that. He truly will be missed❤
