To Jimmy's family,
I knew Jimmy through my Aunt Angie Calla. I was fortunate to speak on the phone this past Easter when he called Bob from the hospital & I happened to be there.
I have been praying for
him since.
My most heartfelt sympathy to you all. May he now rest in the Arms of our Risen Jesus. He was wonderful to your sweet mother Betty who was a beautiful woman.
