To The Yocum Family, We want to say how sorry we r about the loss of Jimmy, I can remember the day he was born, I was at the house with Donna, and I kept telling her u need to get to the hospital, but she thought it was just little cramps, well Jack and I finally got her to go to the hospital, and yes it was the real thing, and then later he was born, he was a beautiful little boy, and they both loved him so much. It will b hard to go thru but if u reach out abd ask our Lord, he will help u in so many ways, i pray he now is up there rejoicing with his Momma, she probably said it took long enough know the Donna that I knew, and i know if u just focus on that, and know he is being well taken care of, it will b rough in the days, weeks, and months ahead, but just trust in God, and he will help u thru, God bless all of u, love all of u.
May God wrap you in his loving arms as you are about to face one of the most difficult challenges that life has to give. It is so hard to say good bye, but always remember he is in a much better place than we can ever imagine being, he's now an angel watching over you. So sorry for your loss, but God will see you through the toughest times. My thoughts and prayers to the YOCUM family. God will comfort you!!!
Jack I am so so sorry about your son.
Jack & Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. He was always so kind. I will always remember his smile and how kind it was of him to clean off my car and get me to the top of Jeff's hill if necessary when the weather was bad. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
