Shorty and the entire Wilmoth Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Jimmy was always so much fun to be around and, just like his entire family, he had a smile on his face and a hearty laugh. I just wanted all of you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jimmy’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

We have been Blessed thru the years by Randle and Janie. He and my youngest brother, Lee Roy Parson, shared many special times together. Often wondered if his visits to our farm instilled his interest in having and showing "Mule Teams" which he and Janie so proudly enjoyed.
Our Love with Prayers and Hugs,
