"Mrs. Allen and the entire family, I want to express my sympathy to Jimmy's entire family. I worked with Jimmy at Sears when I was in college in 1971-72. Jimmy was so nice to me and always friendly to everyone. He made a big impression on me and after I graduated, I would see Jimmy in Jonesboro. He would always stop and talk like we had known each other for years. Jimmy always had a smile on his face that would light up a room when he came in.I know he will be missed by everyone, but you have great memories together that you will carry until you see him again.God Bless you,Ben Bush
