A year just passed and I can't believe how the time has gone by. Not one day have we not thought of you in some way or form. Baylie still talks about you and she knows that you are not sick anymore and that you are in Heaven watching over her, Jimmy, & Sakkara. I'm sorry you never got to meet Sakkara, but you would be proud of her and Lea. We miss you everyday but we know that you are in a better place not suffering anymore. The great die young and that's what happened to you! We will forever keep you in our hearts, thoughts, and memories! We love you Jim! xoxoxoxoxoxox

Thank you Jim for all the great memories I had spending with you. You were the best Grandfather to Baylie and I'm sorry that Jimmy won't have the same opportunity to know you as well as she did. You will forever be in our hearts and memories. We love you!
