IIIJimmy’s story

Jimmy was protective. His sister could “always count on him to help when needed.”

He was always there for her, “even when he did not want to be.”

Before he was gone, they never got the chance to make up. She did not get to tell him she was sorry, that she loved him, and that she would always be there for him.

“So sorry we did not get a chance to say we were sorry to make up a big hug and tell each other that we love each other.”

What she wrote to him

What he leaves behind, she wrote, is “The value of forgiving.”

“The tribute to my brother means everything to me, especially being in a song.”

Jimmy’s sister, in her review

She asked for a tender, healing hymn for Jimmy. To him she wrote, “I miss you. I love you and I wish you were still here… if only I would’ve known.”
