Jimmy was good friends with my son Wyatt.
He always had a positive outlook and attitude.
We were always glad to see him when he came into our house.
He would always greet me (Wyatt's mom) with a big hug and smile.
I though it was wonderful that he was living his dream of going into the Airforce.
Jimmy will be missed by everyone who came in contact with him.
I was saddened to hear of his passing.
My prayers go out to his sister Melissa and his parents and exended family and friends.
God Bless you as you go thru this difficult time.

I have the right Jimmy, I thought he and Melissa were brother and sister.
They were very close friends of my son.
My mistake.
I do have the right Jimmy, he's been to my house numerous times.

That's okay Fatty... no big deal.
We are all at a loss of Jimmy's passing.
I'm just a mom of one of his friends.
Can't know everything about everyone.
I'm sure Mary Kay didn't mean anything by her comment.
