To my second family, "Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,Lord, will I seek. Mr.Jimmie has reached his destination, standing hand in hand with our brother, Jimmie. God makes NO MISTAKES, I personally know how you feel I too lost my father, but just the thought of knowing where he's at and who he's with , strengthens me each and everyday, for I know that when its all said and done, we will all meet again. God Bless You All , and from the entire Cartwright Family we Love You!!!!!!!!!!!

As the sun sets today, tomorrow it shall rise again with new hope and glory. Jimmie is with his son, my dear friend. Together they shall walk the trail of peace and as they whisper to each other the thoughts of which they wished to share can now be heard by both. Now let your spirit soar my friends, fly amongst the eagles and lift each other in times of weakness. The Great Spirit shall welcome you into His Kindom.
