Jimmymac needs our prayers and support

[shrimpman steve]

I am crying as I write this:(

Jimmymac, a fixture in the New Jersey fishing community needs our prayers and support. He is going thru the worst thing a parent can go thru. His 29 year old daughter had a seizure and did not make it. Jimmy is always there for others and now I want to be there for him.

His daughter was a beautiful young woman taken from us way too soon. She will live on forever in our hearts and will never be forgotten. I can't imagine what the family is going thru right now but know prayers and thoughts will help. Her maker has welcomed her with open arms and she is now in a better place.

Jim is like a brother to me and one of the nicest human beings I know. Although I am not a religious person I have done a lot of praying the last few days. I promise him his daughter will live forever in our hearts and minds.

Original post taken down by me by accident. Please resend your prayers to the family as I know it will help them thru this tragedy. Jimmy and family my heart breaks for you. I love you brother.

My tears won't stop flowing. Once again I'm so sorry

[Gerry Zagorski]

Can't even imagine what you are going through Jimmy. Thoughts, prayers and heartfelt condonlences... Very saddened by your loss.

[Joey Dah Fish]

I have been praying for her and the family daily since Steve told me on Saturday. My prayers will continue. Lord please bless this family and all families during these difficult times. Lord Please reach out with all your love and compassion to help them feel your loving spirit so they may know their loved one is in the finest of hands.

I heard the news the other day when we had to cancel his trip. JimmyMac is a GREAT person and one of the funniest customers we have. This has to be the worst thing ever for him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his entire family during this tough time. I'm very sorry Jim. If there's anything you need, give us a call.

My condolences,

Capt Kris

Wow Jimmy - can't fathom what you're going through - we are supposed to die before our children, not the other way around. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you.

Jimmy is one of the great people in our community. His quick humor always is a pick me up when fishing is slow. It's great to see the community rallying around him in his time of need.

So very sorry to hear this. You keep your head up Jimmymac. I don't think anyone could even begin to imagine what your feeling like. I am a religious man & I believe that you WILL see her again. It's only a matter of time. In the meantime say your prayers & the man upstairs will help you through this.

Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Isaiah 41:10 - Do not be afraid, for I am with you.+ (http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/mcr/8905463/) Do not be anxious, for I am your God.+ (http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/mcr/8905485/) I will fortify you, yes, I will help you,+ (http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/mcr/8905504/) I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.’

[DirtyChimneyMan]

I can't fathom how awful this is..... My heart hurts just thinking about it. I'm so sorry jimmy. There are no words. Love ya man...

[seazu]

I used to show dogs until my best friend whom i showed with passed away, it was sudden and i was lost with out her. i gave up showing dogs because it ment nothing without her.
i never fished on a party boat and decided to take a trip with my sister and nephew, loved it and started going all the time on the fishermen. One day there were some loud guys in the stern that i did not know,(shrimpman, johnny tomatos, and jimmy mac). my shirt got caght in the zipper of my jacket and i could not get it out, with out hesatation jimmy mac jumped up and in true jimmy mac style joked and laughed and got it unstuck.

that was the first time i met jimmy. and did not realize at the time he would change my life forever. when GOD closes one door he opens another, jimmy mac was my other open door.

i wish could take the hurt and sorrow from your heart as you did mine

[crabcake]

My sincerest condolences for this tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with Jimmymac and his family.

Thank all of you for your kind/thoughtful notes regarding my daughter, Kelli.

If you are a father you can understand most of the emotions we are kealing with now. We take great pride in our daughter's love of life....she loved her family, dogs/cats and her professional life. Always a persona that would go out of her way to make people smile. Her last gift was an organ donor.

I know most of you who made a comment to Steve's original thread and it means so much to my family to have such great support from some very fine people.

Jim
