Celeste & Family,



I am so sorry for your loss. Jimmy, or "Little Jimmy" as I grew up calling him was a wonderful man, and there was certainly nothing "little" about his stature or his spirit. I am the daughter of Jim and Frances Hains, and Jimmy was my Godfather. The heavens have a new angel now, and I am sure that he will make them laugh and smile as he always did our family. I have some really great memories of Jimmy and was proud to have him as my Godfather.

God Bless all of you.
