Mary Jo and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It was a privilege to work for and with Jimmy. He was not only my boss, but also a true friend. I know that he helped shape my career. It is my prayer that the Lord grant all of you peace and comfort in knowing that Jimmy is in God’s hands. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
