I am so sorry Mary. I was not able to attend but do pray for you continually and will in the days and years ahead.

My condolences to you Mary and to all of Jimmy's family. Jimmy was a very nice guy and would help anybody when they needed it. He always had a joke to tell and was always upbeat! He used to pick me up and we would go to different places together. He loved going to the market and stock barns in Shipshewana on Wednesdays! I will miss him very much but my memories of him will always be with me!

Heaven gained one of the greatest men I've ever known the night you took your wings and flew higher then you could imagine. I can only imagine how glorious heaven must be. I miss you so so much already. The laughter, talks, jokes. I was telling mom about how I remember when you and Bill came to visit us I think Great Lakes and I answered the door and didn't recognize it was you and Bill so I slammed the door shut and said " Mom there's two guys here to see you " lol I was just so little ------ Sorry ...

I can't wait to see you and the whole Mexican family mommy tell grandma I miss her yummy food. Say hi and give love to Grandpa, Tia Betty, Tia Anita, and Shane .... And my sissy ..

This is not where it ends -----
LOVE YOUR ADOPTED NIECE

Dear Mary and Family,
I was very saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing last week. I'll never forget the first time I met him in 1971 when he had just come back from California. He was always quick to wit with a joke of some kind just to get you going! I remember when Floyd lived with him in the house on Mchanic St. and it seemed like I was always washing dishes up for them.
Just know that Jimmy will always be remembered for making people smile and bringing laughter into their lives.
I am honored and blessed to have known Jimmy. He was truly a blessing in the lives of many. I will miss him.
My condolences,
Ann Humphries
