God Bless you all
I remember the good times we had on the Gruman-Heskett farm in our youth. Looking back it seems on yesterday when we played kick the can and hide and seek. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give each of you an inner strength and comfort that only HE can provide. God bless you all. Lucy Ray Cook
Jimmy was a good man and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with all his family.
I remember Jimmy from the Old Town, Ar. days. when we all lived on Highway 49 and walked to McGrew's store. My heartfelt sympathy is sent to each on your loss. May the many prayers being sent help ease your pain.
From the first time I met Jimmy he was always riding in style. I like to think that God gave him wings with a little extra touch of gold on them to make him shine the way he liked his vehicles too. We will be praying for all of you as you go through the coming days and wish you lots of love.
To our loving brother. A place in our hearts you will stay . A place in Heaven you will save. We will miss you and love you .God Bless.
