Well about 2 songs into the show, I realized no one was sitting there. I sat diagonal second row for a time because front and center seats said reserved. He was here in Nashville doing the midnight jamboree. Thank you, Jimmy, for being the person you are. As Braelynn now feels he knows Jimmy, this special gift will be passed on to him as I know he will cherish it as I do. Now, I can play that special song, look at that tracing, and be at peace with my cousin’s sacrifice. That tracing, along with the introductory narrative from the Farewell Concert, is proudly framed and hangs above my desk. We had a tracing of my cousin’s name obtained from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and asked for it to be signed. It is indescribable the impact this made on Braelynn who still has Jimmy’s picture on his nightstand. Jimmy that night took a genuine interest in our kid and spent an abundance of time with him. You see, Braelynn has sat with me watching videos of Jimmy’s performances, most often enjoying More Than A Name On A Wall and My Only Love. We waited to be near the end of the line to say hello and introduce Braelynn to Jimmy. My wife and myself attended the Arlington, Texas show along with our 8 year old great-grandson, Braelynn. I am so sorry to have taken so long to write. Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. My life has been full, I’ve savored much. I’m following the path God laid me for me. I am sending you this poem which was on the prayer card for my cousin. Nina, so sorry for the loss of your father, a few weeks ago I attended the funeral of my cousin who was the seventh member of my family since the end of August 2020 who has passed away. You have no idea how special you are to her. I just wanted to thank you for being who you are and for providing that light in the darkness when not a lot of others were able to do so. She’s my entire heart and I can’t express to you how much I love and adore her. I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to experience this with her. This Thursday, December 15th, we’ll be attending your Christmas concert at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky. I’ve been doing all I can to try and make her smile, get out more, live her life as much as she can. My grandparents have always been my whole world. I’m thankful for you and all you’ve unknowingly done to help heal her heart in such a period that we truly hoped we’d never reach. She’s still finding her way without him and although it’s been extremely hard on her, you and your music have helped guide her through it. They would have been married 55 years this past October. He was sick for a couple of years before he passed and only got worse as time went on.

They’d get ready for bed, turn the TV on to watch you and listen until they couldn’t keep their eyes open any more. Before we lost my Papaw, Rudy(her husband) in February 2022, they both listened to you together every night before going to sleep. She listens to your music every night, watching your performance videos. This feels a little funny to do and she’ll probably have the hair on my head for doing so but I just wanted to tell you a little about my Mamaw, Sandra.
“How Great Thou Art” always sends chills up my spine. If at all possible I would like to hear him sing either “Be With Me” or “I Wrote It in Red” at either the Grandbury,TX or the Corsicana, TX concert. Thank you Nina for all the hard work you put in for his career. I look forward to meeting him again in the choir in Heaven. May God continue to Bless his life, his family, and his talent. I grew up on the hymns and played the organ at church for many years before moving to Texas. They are so uplifting especially the gospel songs. I listen to the CD’s in my car all the time. I have been to two concerts here in Texas last year, and am planning on two more this year. He truly is annointed by God and has a real gift with his talent. That is when I really could appreciate his voice. I grew up on country music and always like the Statlers and even more when Jimmy joined them. I have wanted to write and tell Jimmy just how much his singing means to me.
