I am at a loss for words. Mr. Jimmy always welcomed me with open arms and was such a blessing to those he came in contact with. I can still hear his laugh and see that beautiful smile. James, your father is resting with the most high and now have another angel watching over you.

Now whenever I see those Jaguars playing on Sundays, I'll think of Mr. Jimmy...

God bless you and Crystal....

God sees every tear; No heart breaks alone for God is always near. And when a prayer is whispered, He's always there to hear... When sorows are overwhelming, He comforts tenderly. For not a single tear will fall that the father doesn't see. God himself will be with with you; He will wipe every tear from your eyes.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
