I remember you Jimmy when we where just young kids...going to Weeks Junior High School and Lincoln High together and your mom picking us up everyday for school in her Nova. You where one of my best friends! Someone I always remember...your good nature, your easy happy go lucky ways! May God bless you, your family and your close ones they where blessed to have you in their life as was I.

My deepest condolences on your loss. In the midst of the overwhelming sadness that fills your hearts, take consolation in knowing that God, our creator, he himself will sustain you.Psalm 55:22
Jehovah promises that the dead will live again. (Isaiah 26:19) They will be brought back to life. That is the hope of the resurrection. Jesus Christ himself said: Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15.
