Jimmy’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Heart of Hospice for the kind and compassionate care given to him during his last days. Also, special thanks to his wonderful caregivers: his brother Rodney, his daughter Destini, and sisters Amanda and Pat. Jimmy spent his last months surrounded by family and friends and laughable memories. He will be truly missed.
