You will be missed. I am blessed to have had you as a first cousin. I remember so well your gentle ways and big smile when I as a teenager used to,pick you up in my arms and throw you up into,the air. Also remember how our grandmother would pull your ears when she thought you misbehaved. I am thankful for the short visit we had recently in Colliervilletn at Bobies. Rest in peace. I will see you in the morning

Dearest Judy, Don, JP, Paula, Rhonda, and all the rest of the family,
I have been praying for all of you and will continue to do so in the days, weeks and hours ahead as I know all of you hearts are breaking. I do know that Jimmy Paul is in his Heavenly Home and he is with all of our loved ones that have gone on before us. I know my Daddy and Mama were waiting at the Pearly Gates to Welcome him Home. I pray the Lord wraps His loving arms around each of you at his most difficult time and gives you the strength, love, peace and understanding and compassion that only He can give. I loved Jimmy Paul too and my fond memories will keep his memory alive in my heart. Such a wonderful man and now he has no more pain. Love to all of you and God Bless Barbara
