Carla, Cara and Kathy, it has taken awhile for me to respond to Jim's passing, but please know you have been in my prayers. I still have not been able to grasp "Little Jimmy" has left us and I am certain you have not either. Having Jim as my cousin was our life plan; having him as my friend was God's plan. We were all blessed to have him in our lives. I don't have to tell you how much you three lovely ladies meant to Jim. He loved you more than any husband or father could. He was proud of you, and through all of his ups and downs, when we spoke you three women and his grandkids were the first things he mentioned. I will truly miss him, his cooking, sharing our childhood stories and the light that was my little cousin. Bless you, Jimmy, and know you will always be in my heart. Give our parents and grandparents hugs from me and know I love you.
