Talked to someone today and they told me that jimmy is around me all the time and he sends me signs by sending brids to my yeard and I have a bird bath and they are in there all the time yes I know birds are ever where but I have so many birds it's crazy. So thank you baby I love you we use to lay in the back yard at his house and just look up at the sky and we would sit on the front porch and talk about the doves that would hang out on the telephone wire there were always in Pars because they mate for life so it's not a suprise that she told me that he would send me birds to show me that he is here. I still miss him everyday and go to pick up my phone someday to call him go jimmy I miss you. And I'll always love you. Till we meet again my love

Jimmy's mother would appreciate if you would stop posting on his memorial page. It is supposed to be about him, not you. If you wanted to be with him you should have been with him when he was alive, not making it look like you were meant to be after he is gone. It is a disgrace to his memory.

I cant belive that it has been almost a month and I cant seam to wake up out of this nightmare. I feel so bad for you all I dont know about all the family but I get very freaked out when a private caller comes up my phone. I right away think that it is jimmy calling me. And I get butterflies as I always do when we would talk or when we were together I cant stop thinking about our last conversation we had. It was about him getting ready to retire and me trying to come home to him and move in and us spending the rest of are lives together and even getting married. And if you knew jimmy that was a big step but we lost to many year apart. And wanted to spend the rest together
That is what is making all this so hard to take you all might not know that we still talked and I would still come down that past couple year I didnt beacons I had problem with my back witch I just had major surgery
But jimmy knew why I will be with him again and I know that he is watching over all of us that one thing he loved the most was his family he would do anything for any of you Mike we would stay up all night then he would come help you on a house that you were redoing no problem at all then he would be back over with no sleep as long as I feed him he was good to go he was like a energizer bunny god I love him I can only hope that when I go he will be waiting for me at those gates where we will spend eternity together. Thank you for letting me share a little bit of are life with yous he was so special to me and all of you I know that he was the one to pick up the rolls who is going to do that now there are so many little things that he did that made such a difference in our lives. Thank you baby we all love you so much and that will never change. Hope you all are getting threw this difficult it with ease at least a little thank you sending all my love heather

Dear entire McCollum families, this is by far ,the most unexpected, hardest thing ,that I ever imagined doing in our life time together. I am so heart broken for each and every one of you including myself. I'll never forget the first time Jimmy and I set eyes on each other "Woah !" The fireworks went off. We were inseparable. Moving next door to the young and handsome McCollum boys with their corvettes and pickup trucks and motorcycles, peaking over the fence when they all hung out in the driveway " It was like window shopping in a CANDY STORE they just got better and better looking ! Poor Ms. McCollum having to beat the girls away with a broom ! No matter what she did or said Jimmy and I couldn't stay away from watch other. We always found our way back to one another and have our time together after all these yrs. All our mini vacations to Virginia Beach . He said that he never did so many things with one person as he did me . Jimmy was one tough cookie at times,and had a wall up to protect his heart from getting hurt . I'm still in disbelief. This is going to take some time to heal. " He was my "Bow". And I still love him so ! Now he is visiting me in Florida and hes flying ! Kathy

Jimmy was the best. He would do anything for anyone. His smile, laugh, kind words and deeds brightened the darkest days. He leaves big shoes to fill in the CHSD. Rest in peace dear Jimmy. To your family, I pray that you find comfort in the precious memories you have shared. Hold him close to your hearts.

Jimmy, my deepest condolences to your family. You have been such a constant presence and an important member of our Cherry Hill family. No matter what school I was working at, I could always count on seeing you with a friendly greeting and smile. You've always been so helpful to all of us nurses bringing our mail, packages and medical equipment. You always remembered when it was time for the audiometer pick up at the end of the year and we knew we could rely on you to remind us if we ever forgot. You were such a hard worker even when you weren't feeling well. You've done so much and you made it look easy, which it isn't. You have left very big shoes to fill. It isn't the same without you. I just spoke to you a few days ago and it's hard to believe that you won't be stopping at Stockton school. There is no more struggle or pain for you now. Rest in Peace Jim.
Marie Smith, Stockton School Nurse

Jimmy will be missed by all who knew him. I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy at Kingston Elementary School as he delivered our school mail. He always had a smile on his face and a sweet greeting when he arrived. I will always miss our good laughs and great conversations. I can only hope that he is finally out of pain and at peace. My condolences to the family.

Jimmy's memory will live with me forever. 30 years ago when I moved into my first house I learned that Jim was my neighbor. He will be remembered for his kindness, taking time to talk, his work ethic, his determination to fight his illness, his Irish temper, and his mischievous laugh. I consider myself blessed for having known him. May God bring Jimmy rest and eternal happiness and may God provide comfort to Jim's family with beautiful memories. I will miss you Jim.

I am so sad to learn of Jimmy's unexpected and very untimely passing. We had a conversation just last week during his stop at Mann. Jimmy was always pleasant, always caring , and never let you know if he was not feeling well.
My sincere condolence to Jimmy's family, as I cannot imagine how great a loss his passing is to your family.
Jimmy's Cherry Hill family will always remember him fondly. May he rest in peace.

Jimmy came to our office everyday to pick up the mail for CHPS. He always had a smile on his face, and was so kind. We had great conversations daily. He was a gift from God. Jim never complained about his MS, just always pushed through. I will forever miss his daily greeting, and smile. You are in Heaven now, with no pain. I pray for guidance and support during this extremely difficult time.
Love,

Jim came to our office to pick up for CHSD and he always came in with a smile. He was great to talk to and always so kind. He brightened up our day. He will truly be missed. I thank God for Jim, for the gift He gave this world through him. I know he blessed the lives of many including mine. I pray that Jim is resting in eternity with the Father and hold onto the promises in John 14:1-3. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, May God wrap His loving arms around each of you and may He bless you with His peace.
Always in our hearts,

Jimmy was among the first to befriend me when I came to work for the CHPS. He always had a kind word and a smile at the ready despite his pain. I truly hope that he knew how much he was loved by his CHPS family. I still find it hard to believe that I won't see him rounding the corner on his visits to our building. Although our grief can not compare to that of his family, please know that he leaves a legacy of kindness and caring to all those who had known him. I pray for your comfort in knowing that his suffering has ceased.
