Thank you

Hi again!

I wanted to extend my deepest and most sincere gratitude to all who attended Jimmy's memorial service and/or reached out to our family with condolensces and support. Obviously, this has been a very difficult time for the kids and myself, but we are all getting through it with the outpouring of love that we have received.

I miss my Jimmy more than I ever imagined possible. He was my very best friend, and I will love him always. This was a very long and difficult journey, and the ending was not what I had hoped for, but I appreciated not having to go through it all alone. Thank you for being there with us.

I am trying to begin handling the daunting task of thank you notes. Please have patience, as this was a much bigger event than our wedding of 500! If you do not receive the appropriate acknowledgement from me, please accept my apologies as a few things are bound to have slipped through the cracks, and I may have some issues with addresses. I promise to do my best, and please accept this also as an expression of my family's gratitude.

For those who sent floral arrangements, they were absolutely beautiful. My house is overflowing with those special reminders, and I was able to donate quite a few arrangements to be distributed to local nursing homes and hospitals by the church.

The monetary donations that were directed to me or the Barrow Neurological Foundation will all be forwarded appropriately. The funds will be used to go toward neurological and endovascular research and also toward the ICU nurses training program. We have received an incredible amount, and I am proud to be able to make such a generous donation in Jimmy's name. For those that requested or sent their own donations to other programs, I will also handle those correctly, and I thank you for your generosity.

I would also like to thank all who sent or expressed kind words of sympathy to my family. Every card was read, and I hope we made ourselves appropriately available at Jimmy's Celebration. Thank you, also, for all the memorial gifts and the meals that were prepared or groceries that were provided. The emotional, spiritual, and physical support has helped to sustain us though this painful process.

Thank you, again, for all your kindness and support!

With Love and Blessings,
Krissy, Michael, Rick, and Jenna (Jimmy too)
