Don and I were unaware of Jimmy's move to a care home. Don had noticed he was not at their cousin, L.S. Eatmon's funeral earlier this year and wondered about him. Since the family has grown out of touch, we did not know where he was until recently. Someone in Osceola told Donnie that he was in Searcy. Donnie remembers he and Jimmy were playmates as they grew up and even into high school. We are sad to know of his passing but have hope in his eternal life. To his children, we remember visiting in their home when they were little and enjoying those times together. We extend our sympathy to Dorothy and the children. Cherish the memories and follow his example of a kind person willing to be of help to any and all, that is the way we remember him.
Sincerely,
Chris and Don Shoemake
