Janie Kay I just found out that sweet Jimmy had died and I am so sorry. What a wonderful guy he was!! I can still see that sweet smile and hear that cheerful voice that let folks know that he was truly glad to see them when he did. I don't have to tell you this but I'm going to anyway. He loved you, your family, his home, his life and many folks can't say that. He also was a fabulous son to his mother. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. I thought the world of Jimmy Claxton and I think the world of you.

Janie K, I just sent you a note; however, my name was spelled wrong. Sorry. Sara Roland.
