Dear Anne & Jimmy's family,
I had the grand pleasure of meeting you two last fall. I fell in love with both of you the minute I walked into your home. Your home is inviting and noone feels like a stranger around you two. Halloween was awesome. I still have the picture of you and Jimmy dressed up on my Blackberry.
When I asked Jimmy to teach me how to slow dance, he replied in his southern drawl "well if you're going to move all over the place, I'm not going to chase you down". We laughed and I tried to be compliant. God, what an amazing soul he is. I don't use past tense. Losing my husband was devastating and I talk about him in the present. I believe they (Jimmy and Mark) are still with us. Just not physically. Anne, I love you, I'm so sorry and am here for you.
Peace be with you always. Carrie (Steve Mason's sister-in-law and Becky's baby sister)

My dear Jimmy:
You were truly a shining light in my life. From the first time that I met you in Hot Springs Village in 2001, I knew that our frienship would be special. We laughed alot together and I will never forget our times together, at your home, the golf course, the racetrack and all the other places we went with your wonderful wife and my hubby, your cousin Steve. I am so glad we had our time together. God's Peace as he welcomes you in his loving arms. I know I will see you someday. Boomer Sooner Jimmy.

Dear Phil and Val,
I did not know about Jimmy until just a few minutes ago. My heart breaks for the two of you and your family. Jimmy was just one of a kind and I always enjoyed being around him. I know you will miss him, but I know he has heaven rolling on the clouds by now. I will always remember him with a smile. I love you both and you will be in my prayers.
Much Love,
Jerry and Linda Tanner

Jimmy and Ann's house was my "home away from home" when they lived in Oklahoma City..
I met Jim and Ann on a Ski trip to Colorado and while we were on the trip someone asked if I was Jim and Ann's son.. so from that point on I became a member of the family.. I spent many weekends at their house just having fun and hanging out.. Jim and Ann always welcomed company with open arms... I don't think Jim or Ann ever knew a stranger..
They were always so kind and caring and made you feel at home... I am sad to say that we lost contact over the years, I guess life gets in the way and you sometimes forget to just call and say " We are thinking of you and hope you are doing well..."
Our hearts and prayers go out to Anne and the rest of the family..
Peace be with you in this very trying time....

When I think those I always enjoyed seeing and talking with during my years in the Medical Dept of what was then, AT&T, I always think of Jimmy. He was always so kind and friendly. It was alo very pleasant to see Annette at the Clinique counter at Dillards. And I could not think of Jim without thinking of John. My prayers are with you all. Always remember Philippians 4:13.
