We were so sad to hear of Jimmy's sudden passing away. We have many memories of him and his beautiful smile.Β
We will always treasure especially him being the ring bearer at our wedding almost 53 years ago. As I was waiting with my father, he and Colleen the flower girl, both 5 years old, proceeded ahead. Suddenly as we began walking behind them, we heardthe the rings rolling on the floor. The photographer rescued them and tied them firmly back on the pillow.Β Β
After Mass, we were at the photography studio for formal pictures, when suddenly we all realized Jimmy was no where to be seen. We rushed outside and there he was sitting on the curb, blissfully eating a chocolate ice cream cone in his little tux, his no longer spotless white shirt, clutching the chocolate stained .pillow in his other little hand. He had conned a dollar from most of the men in the wedding party, and had gone alone to Baskins & Robbins next door. A little entrepreneur at the age of 5.
We still have the pillow and will always treasure it.Β
