My wife Maura and I became close friends with Jimmie and Bill when they first moved to Ohio. Bill and I worked together during his years there as an African Violet hybridizer. We moved to Wisconsin shortly before Bill fell ill and passed on. We stayed in touch with Jimmie all these years. Her biggest joy was always her family. She always keep us updated on all the new additions to the family, we looked forward to her Christmas letters detailing her new adventures. Jimmie was such a joy. We will always cherish her friendship. Ron Gaare
