Dear Bonnie and Family, I send my most sincere sympathy in the tremendous loss that you all have suffered in the loss of Jimmette.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all and I know God will continue to strengthen you in the days ahead just as He has done in past days. Gary

We trust you will know the comfort of the Holy Spirit during this most difficult time. Bonnie, Jason, Josh and family, you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bonnie, Josh, Jason and family, There are no words that are really adequate when you face the death of a husband, dad, father-in-law, and grandpa. When you were here in Durham on Barwick Drive, it was very evident how close your family was. Although we haven't seen you in years, please know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers over the last few days. I'm sure your strength and comfort have come from the Lord and our prayer is that He will continue to comfort and sustain you. Jackie, Mary and Rodney Wilkins

- Alice and Wayne Davis, Sanford, NC

Bonnie, your losing a husband and Josh and Jason losing a father like Jimmette is without a doubt the most hurtful thing you guys will ever experience. Knowing; however, that he's in heaven and wouldn't come back even if he could, makes it a little easier. Having known Jimmette since the 3rd grade and knowing how much he enjoyed life, I bet he told you to remember all of the good times because they outweiged the bad. The years that you and he spent traveling thoughout the U.S. would make anybody envious. I'll miss seeing him at Mule Days and the State Fair. I'll miss telling him a joke and him telling one too. The thing I will miss most is that I have lost a genuine friend. Sincerely, Tommy Fletcher

- TOMMY FLETCHER, DURHAM, NC

I'll always remember Jimmette from our high school days. The fun times we had and the football games that he took charge of by running like a bull. Peace to you all. Billy
