You and Mary were like second parents to me when Shirley and I were kids. Rest easy Jim. Tell Mary I said hi. Love you.
Shirley Jones
I miss you so much, papa. I know you are free and happy now. Don’t worry about me. My tears will eventually stop flowing and I will be happy again. My want is selfish; I just miss you.
Your daughter,
Shirley

Tomorrow will be a year. I remember on this day last year, your last day on earth, playing music for you. Seems like yesterday. Oh how I wish you were here. I miss you so much and wanted more time. I love you papa.

Well papa, December 24th is coming soon and it will be two years. I miss you so much! The laughter, love and great talks we used to have. I still talk to you and I know you hear me. Just one more hug and one more kiss, oh would I love! You know I did and am doing the best that I can. Tell mama and Patrick how much I love them, and I love you too, papa.

I know with all my heart and soul it’s been you. Stay with me for however long I have, okay? I think about you, mama, Patrick and Derrell and how wonderful it will be when I reunite with you all. I love you papa so much.
