To my uncle James "Jimmy" Denwiddie, I am so glad that I had the chance to know you. You were the favorite uncle. I am going to miss you soooo much. My cousins know that the days will get better, my mommie, and family time will heal all. Put your comfort and trust in the Lord. Wow! I cant believe uncle Jimmy is gone. Certified will never be the same. To everyone, thanks for the support and love you showed the family.
