Carole Zinkand Winpigler 's little brother Jimmy Zinkand and my brother were very close.In fact the whole Zinkand family and ours were.When Jimmy Zinkand got on face book my heart skipped a beat .Wow I will be able to take a glimpse into what my little brother would be doing if he was still here. Well that was a big empty part of my heart that didn't feel cheated any more seeing how well Jimmys closest friend was doin.
About a week after that I had a dream about my brother. In the dream I am sitting in a room by myself and in walks Jimmy. He was alot taller no glasses but that smile was definitely his.He extended his arms and we hugged and we cried a long time. Then we both stepped back to look at each other .No words were spoken .After a while he smiled I smiled then he turned and walked away. I could still feel his warmth when I awoke. The one and only dream I have ever received from him.

Johnny take your sister Barbara up to see Jimmy .Make sure she doesn't make a scene .Come on Barb Johnny said. You ok ?Are you I said back the smart mouth that I was at that time. Sure John said He held onto my arm and I thought how cruel to send poor John up here with me when he can't get over the lost and feels like he let Jim down in some way.It was written all over the brothers faces every last one of them. John held tight to my arm and when we got to the coffin I leaned in and whispered I told you not to go swimmin. Two tears streamed down his face. John and I both fainted. 

Donna Barnhart and myself along with a friend of ours Steve (whose no longer with us may he rest in peace ) Were a block from the house when the 6 oclock news came on the radio.Donna was right next to me when they said Jimmy Mathis of the 1600 block of Cape May Road drowned today.I remember both their faces.
I had talked to Jimmy that morning when he answered the phone when I called to tell mom I was on my way home from the Ocean.
As I walked down that long driveway the conversation played over and over in my head
Hi Jimmy ...Hi Barb what ya doin?I'm leavein Ocean City is mom mad at me for not callin last night?. Shes always mad at something your doing Jimmy laughed.Hey Barb I don't wanna go swimmin with these guys and I keep gettin pressured to get out of the house."Oh mom and Junella huh?:"Well look Jim you stay in the woods and wait for me and we'll do somethin else.Just stay there and don't go DO NOT go swimmin if you don't wanna. OK?He just said well i'm kinda gotta. No you don't i said. Just wait you just ATE BREAKFAST YOU CANNOT GO SWIMMIN AT LEAST FOR A FEW HOURS. wait ok. Barb don't yell I hear ya I hear ya.I love you Barb heres mom. Love you too Do not go swimmin.Are you listeniin? Your brother left hes a mind of his own I can't stop him....where are you Barbara Ann?Mom don't let him go please. Get your butt home young lady you have chores to do.
That was the last time I heard his voice.
