I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jimmy was a good man. He came from a great family. I was around him as a young child and knew him as fun loving and family oriented. May God Bless you in this time.

We were so sorry to hear of Jimmy’s death. He was in my Sunday School Class and we both knew him from South Side High School. He was a nice person and a good friend to a lot of people. We will keep his family in our prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my sister Karlyn Cauley in May 2023, so I know how hard it is. Our Grandmother was Tennie Evans so I have heard about your family often. My thoughts and prayers are with you from Wisconsin.
