To this day, the loss of such an amazing human being hurts my heart more than I can imagine. Jimmy wasn't just a cousin but he was my best friend. I miss him to this day and not a day goes by where I don't think of him. I miss you Jimmy. R.I.P.??

Marilyn and Jim - we just found out today (12/29/08) that Jimmie had passed away. We are just sick about it and sincerely wish we could have been a part of any gathering in his honor. Horse people are a close group, and we watched Jimmie grow as you watched our Katie grow. We love you both dearly and will deeply miss Jimmie. He was a good boy and grew into a fine young man...loved horses and motorcycles - - nothing wrong with that. Our prayers are with you two, his siblings and everyone who called him a friend.

Jim & Marilyn, We are so sorry to hear of Jimmy's death. We have such wonderful memories of him at the hunt club as a little boy, riding around on his motorbike. The last time I saw him at your farm, I couldn't believe how grown up he was. I can only imagine your sadness and grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are so sorry for your loss. Children aren't supposed to die before their parents. Kay & Bob Willmarth (Richland, MI)

Jim and Marilyn: I'm so sorry for your loss. Jimmy and Sam, my daughter. went to PPHS together and I just can't imagine losing a child. So sudden... and just when Jimmy was so excited about getting into that Heating and Cooling School. There's nothing I can say or do to take away the pain you must be feeling, except please know that I will keep you in my prayers. You may find strength and comfort in God. Keep the faith... and may God help you during these trying times.
