This is one of my favorite pictures, Jimmy is looking straight into Jesus eyes, it looks so real and it probaby is real. This picture makes me smile, I love it.

Hi!  I am Rick, Jimmy's little brother and one of his favorite punching bags when we were younger.  I just wanted to share one of Jimmy's most infamous actions which brings tears of joy to me everytime I think of it.  We used to have a large picture of Jesus hanging over our couch and Jimmy would stand in front of Jesus and stare at him.  After a moment Jimmy would grab the lower corner of the picture and make it sway left and right as it hung from a single nail.  He did this so often it left marks on the wall, hahahahahahha!  The more I think about it the more I think he was in cahoots with Jesus.  I miss you bro and can't wait to see you on the other side!

This was Jimmys last birthday cake,2013. his last birthday party in May.

This is Rick ,he is the tallests of my 3 boys but he is the baby, Jimmy spent more time with Rick when they were younger they  are six years apart and by the time Jimmy went to a group home, Rick had gone to the Marines, so they never spent a lot of time together. Rick sure loved his bro.

Im the MOM, Debbies, Tonys, Jimmys, Rickys, , The Mom of Jackie and Angie . is Brenda, Angie, Jackie are half sisters of my kids so all 6 kids are hers mine and ours.  Did you get that????   LOL

Tony and Jim looked so much alike, especially Jimmy with a mustache.

There is jimmys big brother on the left, Tony, He sure loved Jimmy, I know cause of the way he treated and talked to him, Jimmy had a mustache when he passed and he looked like Tonys twin. Jimmy is  in the ball cap, he loved his hats and wanted them on, its like he knew he was bald.  His sister Debbie next, then my self, missing from this picture is the youngest boy, Ricky who lives in Salt Lake City.

Debbie loved Roses, well here is your rose Debbie with your brother.

A very sad day here, Jim was in ICU, he was getting somewhat better, we at least had some hope, but they were going to put a feeding tube in his stomach, Well that wouldnt go over big with Jimmy, he loved to eat, he would rip it right out of his stomach. I was  so scared and confused, why was this happening to my son. I went to the chapel twice a day, when I came in and when I went home, I prayed so hard. As the days went on he started to improve a little, they took him off the venelator, and he could breathe on his own, but he still needed oxygen, Jim not liking anything in his nose would take it out. It was like I was living a nightmare, I was so tired, mentally and physcial, six weeks evryday but( 4 days )I went to be beside him.

This is my daughter and Jimmys sister Debbie, Debbie can be kind and loving, she loved her brother Jimmy, she helped get me thru the funeral process when Dad and I were in shock and disbelief,, she stood up in front of everybody and said a little story she wrote her self about her brother, it was so nice, Debbie also lost a loved one, her husband Bruce Alesi, he was an awsome, loving, caring man, He was by far the best son in law I ever had. He is with Jimmy and the rest of my family. Yes Debbie was a good sister she would get mad at him when he used to pull her Barbie Dolls heads off, then hed giggle about it. It was cute but Deb didnt think so, LOL Deb was there for Jimmy when he was in ICU, she went as much as she could, cause she worked. In fact Debbie was the last family member her and Bruce to see Jimmy alive, I was there that day but Debbie came in so I left so she could have some alone time with her brother,If I would of known he was going to pass I would of stayed and had all the family members there by his bed side, God didnt want it that way, Jimmy died at 12;45 am.

Jimmy is with our Jesus now, in peace, a normal soul.

I have grown to love butterflys since Jimmy went home, cause when I see a butterfly, I know that is Jimmy telling me hes ok and is with the Lord.

 just love this picture, it has so much meaning, the love Jimmy and I had for each other.

This is sister Angie, Jimmys half sister, I only grew to know her in the last couple of years, but I have found out she is a loving caring person, I can talk to her about anything and she cares enough to listen ,She was never around Jimmy that much but she never forgeot him when he was in ICU in St. Margarets she sent him beautiful flowers, she did not forget him.She would ask her Dad( I know) Hows Jimmy doing?  Angie is easy to talk to especially about her brothers, she loved all 3. God wanted me to be friends with Angie and Jackie or it wouldnt of happened. Another sister of Jims was Jackie, unfortunately I didnt get any pictures of Jackie with Jimmy, but a sweet young lady that I also love.
 

This picture is the cemetery where Jimmy is laid to rest, it is the most beautiful peaceful place you would ever want to be, just to sit there and watch the ducks in the lake which is nearby.I have never seen a more beautiful cemetery , only the best for my son.

This is a picture iof myself and Jimmy, I have always loved this picture, it shows a lot of love between son and mother.  Jimmy wasent the mushy kind , Oh he loved to be hugged and kissed but only when he wanted and that was it, only if he wanted or hed push you away so I would grab all the hugs and kisses I could when he wanted., I can still feel his kisses on my cheek and the hugs, it was a quick hug cause Jim had his own way.Oh the memories of him are so many.
