An old friend - May 20, 2021
You were there for me and my girls when most folks turned their backs on us. I remember you carrying a recliner on your back all the way through downtown Willard because you knew that I did not have any living room furniture in my first apartment as a young adult. You made me laugh and taught me how to dance. You will always have a special place in my heart. I am glad you found love again.

Oh my goodness, just to say his name makes me giggle. I haven't seen Jimmy for like 20 years. What a mark I'm sure he has left here of his short 55 years of Life. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. But I was so thrilled to know I will be spending my eternity with my old friend. We grew up together in his early days in the big Shiloh area. We"re neighbors and spent many of days in the summertime just hanging out together and riding bikes. He was just so much Fun and good times for me. So sorry Debbie and Shelly for your loss. So glad to hear he was a grampa too. My condolences to his lovely wife and family. This is not goodbye it is only temporary pause until we meet again my old friend.

Jimmy was a huge part of the family of Grace Church and we will miss him greatly. He was a faithful and dedicated member of Christ's church, a true witness to the love of Jesus. Now he is another saint in the cloud of witnesses. Thank you, Donna, for your dedication and care. Love and blessings!
