The night Jimmie went into the hospital, we spoke on the phone. He told me "Sis, I'm going to get this oxygen so I can breathe and I'm going home in the morning". I said, ok, Jimmie, I love you and I'll talk to with you in the morning. That night Jimmie was placed on the ventilator and we didn't speak again. The next time I saw him is when they took him off the ventilator because his lungs had collapsed. I watched Jimmie as the tubes were removed from his body and slip into death through a video call. All I could think about as Jimmie laid there motionless is this can't be real! We were suppose to talk again after he got the air that he needed, but God had another plan for Jimmie. I have to have faith that God knows what he is doing. Because this doesn't seem real.
Although, I can't be there physically I will be there mentally and I am thankful for the opportunity to view by streaming. Thank you Taylor Mortuary.
Thank you all for your prayers and condolences.
Jimmie will be missed.
Valarie Smith-Nealey, Sister to Jimmie
