James Michael,
You've been my Best Fran for almost 10 years. The first person I text when something happens, the person I call at any time of day & know you'll pick up. You brought light into any room you were in. Always laughing & joking with everyone even when your heart was broken yourself. You were just too beautiful for this earth. I always told you I couldn't picture my life without you, and now you've left me no choice. I love you. I always have & I always will. R.I.P JB

When Jimmy was about 4 yrs. old his golden retriever kept bringing her ball to me. I would throw it in some silly fashion and he belly laughed at least 20 min., which, of course, made me laugh. It was so fun. I will miss his winning smile. Love, Aunt Karen
