Jimmy, my goodness, I'm totally speechless, and I'm sure you're with your mom and brother and Jake , Jim after your brother Stephen passed I tried many times on messenger to contact you , but for some reason we lost contact after the passing of Joanie, I know time flys, but all I been thinking about is how I was always around you all when you all lived in Rockland, and for what ever reason you stopped contact ( as I'm hoping it's just that life happens and maybe it's because you grew up and idk Jim ? But I do know I thank you for the memories I choose to remember and I wish I knew Nicole and a lot more about your adult life, as I can only hope you loved me in your heart and in your memories as we do share many great memories when your mom and Dad were together, I'm sorry communication was not key as I lost out, huge, that I will admit I now am taking another life lesson of the could ofs and the should of, but I did try and I do know life isn't easy and we all seem to of went our own way, ( sadly) but I hope you remember no matter the distance life put between us, I've always carried you boys in my heart as I think you know I've stayed in contact continuously with your sister who is at a loss of another brother as Shannon loves her brothers and I know she had a unique individual relationship with you Jim, I love you Jim more than words could ever say, my love as well as my memories I hold in my heart will be forever timeless, love you and rest well my nephew, I'll be dreaming a little dream of you, oh and everytime I seen or hear of the movie Top Gun will always remind me of you and the live song in it always will remind me of you telling me it was your make out song lol love your aunt Christine Oakhem
