Dearest Dad, I found you after 42 yrs and have been the happest ever. I was very glad that we got to met each other. The time went so fast because there were things that we never got to do and memories that we needed to make. But you were taken from me to fast. I wanted us to make many memories and there were things still left undone. But GOD needed you for something else. I am having a very hard time with this just because we weren't given enough time together. Just remember this dad I will always love you and I will never forget the first day we met. I will see you again in heaven and you can finally dance with me ... I love you dad,get your dancing shoes on and be ready. God bless you dad and I will always love you. Your loving daughter,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jimmy had a special sense of humor we could relate to. We enjoyed matching wits with him thruout the years. Many thanks to Dave Gearde and all of Jimmys friends at the Belmont who were there for him for so many years. Jimmy will always be a special cousin to both of us. "Set your watch Jimmy"

My Dad was a good man. The kind of person that would give the shirt of his back to help a friend. He loved to fish, golf and watch sports. He raised me from a baby, taught me right from wrong and contributed to the man I am today. He was a family man who I try to this day to imulate some of his qualities. He might not have said it much but he loved us, I knew it. I may have questioned it a few times but I knew it. I still do. He and I didn't always see eye to eye but we worked it out. He always took care of me growing up and made sure I had what I needed. He was a good honest loyal man. I love him and will miss him terribly.

I know that me and Shawn probably drove Jimmmy and Magarite crazy with all the trouble we got into as kids. But he always welcomed me into his home with open arms. What a genuine friend he was. He will truly be sadly missed by all who loved him and knew him.

May God bless your family during this tough time,

Dear Family, I really enjoyed Jimmy,s company. Jimmy was my friend. I in my heart thought Jimmy would always be there ,always. I can hear his voice he had a different kind of voice strong and he was alot of fun just to talk to he made you feel that way you know. I love you Jimmy and thank you for all the long phone calls along time ago when i feel we both just needed a voice to share the times with. You are a one and only and i hope the best for your loved ones. God bless you Jimmy Pinn.
