Cheryl, Dawn, and family: I was sad to hear of your loss. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers throughout the coming days, weeks, and future. I am glad to have known Jimmy. I know he suffered physically with pain, ill health, and all the side effects thereof. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. I pray that as you grieve your loss you will also find comfort in hope, faith, and the knowledge that God is still in control, no matter that we do not understand His ways. With all my love,
Cheryl, Jim and I are so sad to learn about Jimmy. He was always such a friendly person and a joy knowing both of you. You and your family are in our prayers. Love, Karen & Jim Lee
Dear Cheryl and Family, I am sorry for your loss. Jimmy was such a kind person, always on the upbeat. I know so many times when I greeted him and I knew that he had been ill, He would say ” I am fine”. I am just around the corner if I can do anything for you, please let me know. Love, Joyce Wagner
