"Diane Nichols-Haberly Relation to Deceased: cousin (Jimmy's Mom was my father's sister) May God Bless you for the Loss of Jimmy.He was loved and will be missed greatly.We had some good times when we were growing up with the MCKean kids. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ..... Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ..... To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We're thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us."

"Ronald "Ronnie" W. Nichols Relation to Deceased: Cousin To Jimmy's Family and Friends, Please accept my condolences and thoughts of sympathy regarding his passing. Although we hadn't seen each other in years, I always kept in my heart the fond childhood memories of visiting with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins when they lived on Cedarwood Terrace and later, on Goodman Street. Jimmy kept us younger ones in line! I looked up to him and always liked the hot cars he had. Sincerely, Ron I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You'll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker"
