My sincere condolences to the entire family. As you all know, you are part of my family as well. Losing a sibling is devastating and I miss my brother terribly too. I remember "Jimmy" oh so well. Sheryl and I used to "babysit" his house when we were younger and we had so much fun. Even though he knew us girls would probably do some things we shouldn't, he trusted us and we cleaned his house with the music up loud! We would pretend it was our house and he just went along with it. It was great. We thought we were so grown up!! Jimmy was great and he treated me just like his little sister. I loved him very much and will miss him. Lots of great memories. To Jack, Jerry, Keith, Bobby and especially Sheryl, my thoughts and prayers are with you and if there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to call me. I will be there for you. All my love, Teresa
