I want to  thank you for your friendship
And all the memories we hold dear.
It’s been a privilege to have known you.
We were family, not just friends,
And we will carry you in spirit
Although unheard, I thank you
For always being there.
Even when you were bedridden,
You always seemed to care. You meant so much to all of us;
You were special and that’s no lie. 
Now you are in paradise happy and smiling. .. Say Hello to God for me..  Your friend and one of your gang mates... Emily


I took this photo at HomeGoods, our happy place. Never had a slight inkling that this would be my last photo of him. Again, he was already in pain here but Tita Caroll and I didn'teven know because that perpetual smile on his face surely hid any traces of it. We were indeed the "Tres Compañeros". He would always say, "Ang sarap ng buhay!" He treated us like a father. He would make it a point to call and remind me not to forget to pick up Tita Caroll when she's at the casino cause she doesn't want to relive the time when she was left behind and "purposely" forgotten, only to be picked up the next morning. Tito Jimmy made sure that it won't happen in his  watch.  Now that he has passed away, I have a strong feeling that he is still doing his job. As I've said previously, "Tito Jimmy, you are my Eye in the Sky!"
      

Cousin Jimmy, you left us in a haste. You never showed signs that you were already in pain but you would show up in the morning at my doorsteps with a bottle of 7Up or a box of coconut water which you know were my favorite.   How could I know that you were suffering when you were always smiling and making us laugh? You would always say, "sarap ng buhay natin!". Yes, life was really fun when you were around. You are now sorely missed and what you left are priceless memories that I'll treasure for the rest of my existence. May you rest in peace, Jimmy. Till we meet again.

Tito Jimmy is selfless,  genuine, very caring, never complains, always smiling and no dull moments with him. I never heard him curse or say bad words about others.  I admire him for that.  He is like a dad to me. He is always armed with a smile  and with no tint of malice in his heart. He raised a wonderful children and family.  Liza, Tina and Jom are very compassionate, well-mannered and cultured.  They are all blessed to have him as their Dad. Heaven has gained an angel. He is my "Eye In The Sky". Rest in eternal peace in the warm embrace of our Lord, Tito Jimmy.



Letty and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. May you each receive the blessings of comfort and peace.
Love, Cheryl Dedrickson
Stillwater, OK.
