I'm so sorry to learn of the passing of Jimmy. It seems like I just saw him driving by in his corvette. He would always wave and was a faithful customer at my flower stand in the summer. I have good memories of both Ginny and Stuart, who were good neighbors. May Raymond, Jayne and the entire family find comfort in fond memories and in the peace and grace of God.
