So long Jim. I knew that all you really wanted was to be with my sister Susan again.
Jim handled his terminal diagnosis with such grace, dignity, and bravery. I knew he was at peace with the situation, knowing he would soon be with his beloved wife Susan, whom he missed terribly. The loving care he got from his daughters, Kim and Kandi, and his grandkids Jordan and Ashley was amazing to witness. Kim and Kandi smothered him with love and hoovered over him like two mother hens. And he loved every minute of it! RIP my dear brother-in-law. You will be terribly missed.
I truly will miss Jim, very much so. He and his family have been family to me for many of years. Jim became like a father to me many, many years ago. I will always to grateful for Jim and Susan accepting me in as family.
I am so sorry for the loss of Jimmy. I am Pup’s oldest daughter. I remember Jimmy so well. He was my favorite cousin and my best friend. He looked out for me when we were together. I always liked staying with Uncle Jim and Aunt Mildred. We had some good times. They were always so funny and Aunt Mildred had the most heartfelt laugh. I also just learned of her passing. I am so sorry now that I did not keep in touch with all of you. Know that Jimmy and all of the family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless!
