Mr. Jimmy has left a testimony of how we should live for Jesus. Mr. Jimmy sang his testimony many a Sunday at White Hill Church. Many persons gave their life to Jesus after hearing him sing. A wonderful example of how the Holy spirit can use a life to teach others.
May we all come away a better person for knowing Mr. Jimmy. Don't be sad but rejoice that another child has gone home to be with our Savior for eternity. For that I have to say Amazing Grace-his chains are broken!

From the grave I will redeem them.
From death I will recover them.
(Hosea 13:14) May the promise and
fond memories help to comfort your
hearts and cushion your grief.
With deep sympathy.
