To my cousins,

Another good person has left our lives but he will never be forgotten.

I cherish the memories I have of when we were young and the family get-togethers and the Alabama vacations our families took together. You don't realize when you're young what good times they really were.

As you already know there are no words that can make this time any easier for you. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

At least he is with Aunt Carolyn, mom and dad when he got to heaven.

I love you guys more than you know.

Love you always,

Toni

Uncle Jim was always such a sweet person to me. Every time I would see him, he would tell me the story about when he taught me how to tie my shoes! That always made me feel special that he remembered that. To Julie and Jamie: even though life moves on and time goes by without talking, I still think of you fondly and my prayers are with you at this time. Love always,

Pam
