"Jimmie was one of my favorite patients at Meridian Dental Center, I cried today for the loss of him and for the loss his family has to feel. I can say I never saw him with anything on his face but a smile and he would always make you think you were a special part of his life. All of us at the office are shocked and saddened. If there is anything we can do for you, Evelyn & children...please let us know. Prayers are with you."
