Dear Stewart family,
I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you today and to let you know that in the early and mid 1970's, my late husband (Billy Stokes) and Jimmy had a lot in common -their love for music which took them to many places and for several years they enjoyed that love together as they entertained many folks. It was a good time for them and they became good friends. Bill died in 1982 at a young age, and I lost touch with your family. I am sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you now and in the days ahead as you grieve.

We never had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy, we heard a lot of good things about him via his grandson Seth. Our prayers and thoughts go out to all the family members. May God give you peace and comfort.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Had many good times here on the farm with JIMMY. He was a good neighbor. We had our differences at times but always work them out. He will surely be missed.
