To my really good friend Jimmy “Vegas” Smith. I still can’t believe your gone. The Kentucky Derby will never be the same without your insight! We talked about everything… he always made me laugh. We played golf, went to Reds games & Las Vegas a couple of times during March Madness! He was so excited about his new e bicycle and his employment at Home Depot. Things were starting to roll in his favor & he was enthusiastic about where his life was headed.
Then out of the blue he was gone. Amazing how life takes turns & nobody really saw it coming.
God bless you Jim, i will miss our conversations but I know you’ll be fine now that you’re in the Lord’s hands.
Pam & I will have a celebratory beverage this summer to honor & remember the good times & memories.
