        From rockgoddess31 November 24

        I know what you mean about Christmas going to be hard without him....most of my fondest Christmas memories have Jimmy in them. People say it gets easier with every passing day...I just see it getting any easier. Carolyn...I miss him so much. Sometimes I don't know what to do without him here...then I remember that everytime I pray he hears me. It makes it a little easier to bare but....well you know where I am coming from. I miss him so much, as I'm sure you do. This is my number..call me sometime, I would love to talk to you 915-222-6019. Love you, Heaven

        Hey there, sorry this is a couple of days late but I had a really hate time dealing with his birthday passing, which I'm sure you did as well. I didn't get to release 38 balloons but I did release 5 of them. One for each one of my boys, just so Jimmy knows that they are thinking of him as well. Losing Jimmy was an awful way for it to happen but I truly believe that God brought you into my life. You are a blessing. Love always, Heaven

        My husband was in prison for 3 years, before he went in for surgery for a brain tumor. It turned out to be cancer and he underwent chemo and radiation while in custody. In February of this year, he was found in his cell, unresponsive. He slipped into a coma and never recovered. We were able, with lots of effort, to get him clemency before we moved him to hospice, where he passed away on March 14. I am hoping to be able to help any other families that are going through any medical issues.

        Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

        My husband passed away 3 weeks ago. He was in prison and had brain cancer. He had finished his chemo and radiation and we thought we had hit a plateau. On Feb 19 he was found down in his room. He had excess levels of his seizure medicine that caused him to fall and hit his head. He never woke up. He was on a breathing machine and feeding tube for 3 weeks. We were able to get clemency from the governor and moved him to hospice, where he passed away a week later.
