Have only known you a short time,Your smile was contagious,your spirit was sweet.You loved your family.I have been truly blessed by meeting you and Joyce. R.I.P. Till we meet again on the other side.
I was blessed at being in same Sunday School Class with Jimmy 💙. I have only known him a short time but found him to be a very sweet man with the sweetest smile! He will be missed by many! Till we meet again Mr. Jimmy!
You were always the sweetest man I ever had in my life and You will forever bring a smile to my face.
Jim and Joyce were friends of my parents. They both quickly became part of our family. Jim and Joyce took Larry and I out on the lake in their new boat. We had a great time. Such kind and giving people. Jim will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. I know he is rejoicing with my parents at the feet of Jesus. Till we meet again!! Love to you Joyce and your family!!
The one thing I will always remember about Mr. Jimmy was his kind smile. His eyes would light up as well when I greeted him which showed his genuine and kind nature. I will miss seeing him sitting up in front of me during church, but I know exactly where he is and that place is far better than anything here. Now we have sweet Joyce to make us laugh and be a witness for strength. See you soon Jimmy!
I was always looking forward to seeing Jimmy on Sunday morning. I thought of him as my “boyfriend “. I would always put my mint wrapper in his lapel. We would kid with each other and would always hug and give a kiss on the cheek. I loved Jimmy very much and I love Mrs. Joyce.
My heart is broken right now, you were my last uncle from my dad's side and since he has been gone for the last 19 years I still had you to share my memories with. I know how much you loved and miss my dad. I am so sorry that these last months have been so bad for you and you have had to suffer. As I told you the other week I wish there had been something I could have done to make your last days better and that time could have been happy and not so much suffering. I love you.
My dear "Chicken-Fish"...I will always remember the day I dubbed you with that name. You have been so special. Always kind, sweet and a big smile that would light up a room. You and Joyce have always been wonderful to me. I will check on her and help look out for her, as she is a very special lady and friend. Just want to tell you once more that I Love You.
