I am Jimmy's second wife, mother of his children. We are the same age,  i was so shocked to hear of his passing. Some of the pictures remind me of our time in Berlin and California. He sure liked handsome in his uniform. After our divorce we tried to stay in contact,  but life often leads us down different roads. I had come to forgive and forget. He sometimes called and we would talk about each other's struggles through the years and especially lately.  I wished he could have hung in there to get his surgical procedure done.
Well, Jimmy.... I will see you again in Paradise.

My dad met my mom in Germany and together they had 5 kids. I’m right in the middle. He would always call me his miracle baby. He loved to fish. He loved to sing. He loved to be silly and goofy. His smile was contagious. I remember when we were adding an addition to my Grandma’s house, we would listen to John Michael Montgomery and George Strait songs. He taught me how to play Speed, and how to lose at it. My memories with my dad aren’t all good, though. I always tried to impress him, and it never seemed like I could. He put our family through a lot, and failed us a lot. He gave us up for adoption when I was 9, and I’ve resented him a lot for that. It took a long time for me to realize that he gave us a better life by doing it. I tried to have a relationship with him when I was in high school, but some things put a stop to it and I again resented him. My memories of my dad have shaped me into who I am today, and I’m not proud of a lot of it. I struggled over the past couple years to finally face our past, forgive, and move forward. But I just couldn’t. When he told my mom that he had congestive heart failure, I knew I needed to do it before it was too late. But I didn’t. He called me Monday and I didn’t answer. Now he is gone, and I’ll never get that chance again. I never expected to have so many crushing feelings, and complete emptiness, when he died. He always quoted that life’s a dance, we learn as we go- I just wish I hadn’t learned this lesson this way. He used to sing best of intentions and anymore by Travis Tritt, and those songs have always been hard for me to listen to because they brought back memories of him. Now, they are all that keep playing on repeat in my head. I did love you, dad. And I’m so sorry I couldn’t get over myself and have this conversation with you. I’m sorry you died thinking I would never forgive you. But I will work on doing that so I can take the good memories with me. Rest Easy Gator!

I am Jimmy's youngest daughter, his baby girl. Our history was rough because we never were around each other as I grew up, but the past seven years, we reconnected and got close. He would compliment me on singing and drawing. He would tell me how proud he was of me and the person I was. We would facetime and talk when we could. He would tease me about cutting my hair short, but he never made me feel bad about myself or anything I did. We were so alike it was scary, but I could ask him anything and he would try to be there for me. My soul is broken right now, because I will never be able to introduce him to my child(ren) if I have them, never be able to introduce my Love to him, and never be able to just hear his voice again. It hurts to know I will never be able to hear my nickname from him again. I will miss hearing his goofy laugh. I will miss the smile that I can see in my own reflection. I loved my dad, and I am just thankful he knew that. I just wish I could have told him one last time. 

I'm Jimmy's first son, I was his junior.  I was always a daddys boy, and I reached for him on so many occasions.   I needed my dad, and when I became I dad, I wanted them to have him as well.  I knew he was going to be a fun crazy grandpa just like I am.  We were very much a like and its killing me knowing I won't get to see him ever again, and it really hurts knowing my sons won't get to play with his old rambunctious self.  

I am Jimmy's firstborn. He taught me to fish. He always called me his baby girl. He taught me to throw a ball. Hit a ball. Work hard. He call me His fishing buddy. I have very fond memories of us fishing on the riverbank at night for catfish. I don’t really remember the fish much, but I remember the time spent. Memories are special because they are dear to the beholder. No one can take them away. With that said, my fondest memories are from California. I am drawn to Cali. I can’t wait to go visit there in the coming years again!! Thanks Dad for the good Memories.
