    " What a grand lady we have lost here on earth, but what a Grand Angel God has gained in Heaven. Jimmie was one of my dear Aunts. I will remember what a dear, sweet lady she was....I will remember her beautiful, ever present smile.....I will remember her wonderful, infectious laugh....I will remember the mutual love and devotion she and Uncle James have had for each other. What a beautiful memory she leaves for us all. My thoughts and prayers to all Jimmie's beautiful family. God Bless. "
