My prayers and thoughts are with Jimmy's family as they remember him this week. I didn't know Jimmy, except through his sister, Mary, who looked after him so well for a long time. I pray for Mary and Brevis and all of the family that they will be blessed in the Lord as they adjust to this loss. I thank Jimmy for his service to our country and I'm glad he will be honored for it. May the Lord keep you all in His sweet care and comfort.
