For a short period of time my husband, children and I had the distinct pleasure of attending church with Mr. Jimmy. My children still think of Mr. Jimmy and remember him with a smile. May you find comfort in knowing that Mr. Jimmy is with God and having a great time with Him and others that have gone on before us. God bless each of you.
