    Jimmy, You was my best friend and Brother from another mother, You and your family have always treated me with kindness and respect. I think back on our adventures we have had together and I always joked with you that I need to find a better best friend to hang out with but that was a lie, I wouldn't change anything we have ever done no matter how wild and crazy it was, You always had my back and I had yours, When you needed help I was always there even though what we had planned on doing never seemed to be what we ended up doing lol, I don't know how I will make it through life without seeing your name show up when we would call each other, I will miss you for the rest of my life. You are my Brother and always will be my best friend, I can't wait to see you again in heaven, I will do my best to make sure your family is taken care of for as long as I live. I Love You Brother.
