Dear cousin Jimmy... I think of all the fun we had as kids together and have many fond memories of you. I wish I had kept in touch over these past years, but I lived life never thinking you would be taken from us. But always when I thought of you I was in awe of the man you became.I am so proud of you. Thankyou for being courageous and strong. Thankyou for everything you have done for our country.You are my hero.

I will remember the years watching you grow into the valiant and honorable man you became. Those years proved how much you loved life and how you made ways to better yourself. Hard work and perseverence was your inner motto, and you proved yourself in many ways. I will always remember the beautiful young boy who followed his star, and loved his life by living it to the fullest. GOD speed, until I see you again.
