Jimmy was walking testimony of his faith. I learned from him just by watching. He always made you feel like he truly loved you, just the way you are. He taught me that having faith was not enough, you have to live it. I don't think he ever l knew how important he was to so many, even those who didnt see him as often as they should have. We all lost a bright guiding light when he left. There will never be anyone else that could teach people just by living their life.
