August 4, 2021 at 5:34 pmMr. Jimmy- I was saddened to hear that you transition to another place and time. I will never forget your warm welcome when I visited Norfolk, Virginia. Your photo reminds me of when you were standing in the kitchen; I always saw you upon arriving in the kitchen. :)
I will miss seeing your great smile and your warm hospitality, taking me to purchase one of my favorite appetizers, crabs.
I pray for my sister and her children to cherish all the good times and love shared.
I won’t be able to attend your service tomorrow, but I will have thoughts of you and family in my heart.
With Love,
Ms. Chavis
