Jimmy,
I wish I could have spent more time with you. Even though I live so far away, it never felt that way. I would get to talk to you on the phone, and even though you didn't always know what I was talking about, you always made me feel better by the end of the call. You'll always be in my heart and mind. Everything around us reminds us of your presence. We know that you are in a better place now, I'm so glad you are happier now. I love you James, I always have and always will. Thank you for being such a great uncle.

I still haven't fully absorbed that you are gone. Perhaps I never will. I know that you are at peace and you are with our Lord. It is my only consultation. James I pray you can feel all this love that is pouring out of your family for you. I am confused, in pain, and wishing I could reach out to you. I am so thankful for the fun and happy time I had being your sister. I love you. I carry your memory with me always.

Solid body
six strings
electricity in and his journey begins
guitar in hand
he begins to play
the melody of his life, he is on his way
Happiness or Sorrow,
he played through the pain
he played for your happiness
not for his gain
The melody of his heart
plucked into every string,
his soul in every note
he played with hope
he played through the darkness and into the light
Solid body, Six strings in hand
his journey begins again now,
Only in a new land.

I cant let your heart go.
The brightest flame grows cold fastest
I miss you, now and forever.

James
I was absolutely crushed the day I heard you passed away, 15 yrs later, here I am remembering you, I had just been thinking about you, and after that, I have been hearing Metallica on the radio. I feel as if you are saying I'm okay, I'm with God.
You would always play Metallica on your guitar for me, while we spent hours on the phone. You were always so sweet to me, and I will never forget that.
I met you in recovery, and was sadden to hear how you passed away. They didn't know you, you wouldn't of hurt anyone, that was not you, you had the biggest heart, the sweetest smile and so handsome.
I miss you, I'm sorry you had to leave us, I'm sorry for your parents and your two sisters and the rest of your family.
You did not deserve to die that way, I'm angry at them, ( whittier police dept) I have to hand it over to God.
I will always keep you in my heart ??. And one more thing, I remember how much you loved my home made bread.
Rest easy my angel ??
