One of my FAVORITE neighbors. Jim, you will be missed and always enjoyed your company. Hugs Denise and family. Love Brenda
So very sorry for your loss Denise and family.
Deepest sympathy to your family. 🙏💗
Jimmy was a contagious joy who never failed to make my occasional greetings as a neighbor kid feel important and recognized. I’ll always remember his big laugh and meticulous lawn, just as I remember his mother on the porch in her chair. I can’t imagine this loss for any of you, but I hope you’re able to remember Jimmy often and fondly as you grow without him.
Hello Denise. I am so very sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. Sherri told me about your loss this past week. I know you will miss him the most! Our deepest sympathies to you and the entire family. Sad for you. Be kind to yourself….grieving is hard work.
Love, Karen Campbell-Wheeler
