"Jimmy had many good qualities and I hope he will be remembered for them. Jim was also a complex man who fought his own demons. ( As do we all. )
I hope his entire family feels at peace, heals, and receives the love I know Jimmy intended to share with each of you.
With caring thoughts,
Jennifer Langlow"
