I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Jimmy was a truly wonderful man who loved Sheri and all the girls with all his heart. He always made me feel so welcome, like part of the family and that meant so much. The way he loved Sheri brought her so much happiness, and seeing that always meant everything to me. They shared such an amazing love. He will be deeply missed. I’m praying that God brings you comfort and peace during this incredibly difficult time.
