Larry and I send our condolences to the Jimmy Joye family and Libby. Jimmy was a southern gentleman with a keen sense of humor and a kind word to all he met. As much as he will be missed here, I no there is relief in knowing he no longer suffers. RIP Jimmy!
Libby, I am just learning about your loss. When we worked together at
WRH he would tease me about my weight and I would tease him about being skinny. I enjoyed working with him.
God bless you and your family.
Jimmy’s love and support for his family is what I remember most. God be with you all.
Libby,
I just saw this on Facebook, and cannot imagine how hard it is for you. Jimmy was a special man and we were all fortunate to know and love him. He had a happy heart and big smile, but think how he is smiling now. He is at peace and has no pain whatsoever.
Prayers for you and your family.
