It's difficult to realize that in 2 days, it will be 7 years since you left us here & reunited with grandpa Steve, grandma Mattie, aunt Dodo and the rest of your siblings, family and friends. Memories of you are still so strong. "Jimmy, I'm not going to make it out of this alive, am I?" is what you asked dad during one of his visits. Thanks for all you were & for all you did grandma.
Love you muchly!

We miss you, but know you are much happier being with Grandpa Steve, Joe & Joy Aunt DoDo and reuniting with your parents and brother. Till we meet again grandma, remember, Cathie Ann 'from Utah' and her kids and grandkids love you eternally!
