Over the past week, personally, I have learned so much and felt so many emotions all at one time, that it made it hard to even function.  When you passed away, Mom lost her oldest son, Mardo lost his brother, and the "gang" lost a person that felt like our own immediate family member.  "Jimbo" was a giver.  He gave us all love, protection, guidance or just an ear who would always listen.  No matter what it was that his "family" needed, Jimmie was there.  Most of all, at least for me, he gave me love and support and even though this weekend we will spread your ashes, you still keep on giving.  "Jimbo" has made his imediate family, and his "gang family" closer than I think we have ever been.  He has shown us that how important it is to have one another and how much we truly depend on each other.  Yes, we may have argued, we may have jumped across the card table a few times, ready to "scrap ya", but no matter what, we always had a big place for you in our hearts for you, as I know you did for us.  Thank you "Jimbo" for being such a loving and giving man.  Thank you for bringing "the gang" closer together, and most of all thank you for just being you.  We will always miss you and keep you close in our hearts!
