Condolences
To Family & Friends of Jimmy
My Deepest Sympathy to the Family and Friends of Jimmy. I was best friends with his (late) sister Janices from Junior High to her passing. Spent a lot of time at the Leitch's in junior and high school. (With raising a family we lost touch for a while). I'm sincerely sorry for the loss of Jimmy. Thinking of you. ❤️
