Trudy,
You know how much we all care about you, but putting company aside for a bit, I am so sincerely sorry for the deep loss that you are going through. Jimmy was an outstanding person, a great sense of humor, and just as genuine a person as I've ever met. Over the last year or so getting to know you and Jimmy by extension has been a pleasure. He always made me feel welcome and part of the team, the group, the family. I think I attached myself to him quicker than I did some of the other team members - but that's just his heart. He truly loved you mightily and did everything he could to take care of you. Now, we will pick up his mantle and take care of you. If you need anything, ever to call, no matter the time or the hour, please reach out. I will miss getting to know him better, but what I knew of him I truly admired. "Let not your heart be troubled, Jimmy's in a better place, complete again, whole again, no more suffering or pain. He's renewed." I believe that. We will help you get through this time and while time doesn't heal all wounds, it can lessen the pain and replace it with fond memories. Thinking of you and your family.
