“With a broken and heavy heart, I want to share that the love of my life, my best friend and husband, Jimmy, passed away Wednesday morning.

He was not alone as I was with him along with a few close friends until the end.

He will be truly missed and no one can ever replace the love I have for him.

May he rest in peace.

Ever Thine
Ever Mine
Ever Ours……. My Immortal Beloved.

I will see you again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
