Karon, I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to believe that when we worked at the hospital together that you Jimmy and my brother Ronnie would be at the funeral home at the same time. I am asking God to give you and your family the peace and comfort that only He can give and that He will help you recall all of your sweet memories of Jimmy. I miss working with you!
