Melondy, I remember your dad coming to Columbia Street to see you several times. He was always making sure he could help you if you needed it. I could tell that y’all had a very loving relationship. I am
sorry for your great loss.
Love, Connie Mitchell
In Loving Memory of Uncle Jimmy
Uncle Jimmy was one of those rare souls who understood that the greatest gift we can give is simply bringing people together. His Christmas celebrations and Super Bowl parties weren’t just gatherings - they were where family truly became family. He and his beloved wife Phyllis had a special way of making everyone feel welcomed, valued, and connected.
Through Uncle Jimmy, I got to know my stepdad’s brothers and their kids, building relationships that might never have formed without his genuine heart for people. He didn’t just host parties - he created space for love, laughter, and the kind of memories that shape who we become.
What I’ll always remember most is his pure heart. You could just feel it when you were around him - that authentic goodness that can’t be faked. He and Phyllis were truly two of a kind, both beautiful souls who made this world brighter simply by being in it.
I’m so thankful I got to know him. Thankful for every gathering, every laugh, every moment of connection he made possible. And while my heart aches at his passing, I’m grateful he’s no longer suffering. I find comfort knowing he’s reunited with his father and his precious Phyllis in heaven, watching over all of us, still protecting and caring for his family even now.
Rest peacefully, Uncle Jimmy. You were loved. You are missed. And your legacy of bringing people together with pure love lives on in all of us.
With love and gratitude,
Kelli
