To my dearest husband Jimmy,
Not a day, not an hour, not a minute, nor a second goes by that I dont think about you and wish that you were still here with me. The only happiness I find is knowing that you are not in anymore pain and that you are with our Lord above. You were not only a great father, and wonderful husband to me you were my best friend. You enriched my life more than you will ever know.. I miss your sweet face, your warm embrace, and our long talks about everything and nothing at all. I pray that during our 40 years of life together, that I was able to express the amount of love, respect and appreciation for you. You are and will always be my true love.. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven.. I love you Jimmy,, Love Mary.

Jimmy,You started being my Father a long time ago.At first I didn't like to be disciplined and as I got older I realized you were teaching me how to stand on my on two feet and to grow with values and morals.I did everything in my power to look out for you and Mother and to love you both.Now that you are in heaven I promise to do the same for your soul mate and my Mother until the Lord is ready for her,too.I will always hold you close in my heart,miss you and think of you.Love,Barb

Mary and Family,
Pulled out Della's Wedding Photo album, there's a very good picture of jimmy, Mary and Christina. Made me think of all the good times we have had. Thinking about the goats at the trailer park, how they used to butt me everything I came in the gate. I think I still have black and blue marks. Thinking about when I brought Jayne home from the hospital, Brought her over to your house and Jimmy feed her mint chocolate ice cream. I told him if she had an upset stomach that night, she was all his. We had alot of good times together. Remember the okra soup when i forgot to put in the okra. Some many I can't write them all down. Jimmy was always my mentor, he will always have a place in my heart. Your in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. Love, Cooki

Jimmy,

Theres so much to say.. and not enough space.. At the age of two is when i fell in love with you.. You were more than a grandfather to me, you were my father, my friend, my hero. You were always there to save the day. You constantly taught me, protected me, loved me, and no matter what, never turned your back on me. You were the consistent man in my life. For these reasons and a million more is why I love you so much... You will always have a special place in my heart that no other will ever replace. I will miss you, think about you and love you every day for the rest of my life.... Love you, Teen
