    Jimmy came into my life......well, I should say I came into his life when he was about 8 years old. From the very beginning Jimmy was always polite, well mannered and a joy to be with. Sandy you did a fantastic job of raising this young boy into the true Southern Gentleman he became. He will be so missed ! My heart is breaking.

    I met Jimmy when he& my daughter we’re dating while in High School. He was such a gentleman to her & me & I loved him dearly. He was very well mannered, kind, generous, thoughtful and just a special young man. I always thought he & Cassie would get married but it just didn’t happen. We had a lot of good times together at Ga games, holidays & family get togethers. He was always so kind to my parents, family & myself. I loved Jimmy & I hope that when my time comes, I will get to see him again. Rest In Peace Jimmy. I Hope you are there with Dukers, Hailey & Yippie!
