Part Two

I didn’t know then that life would become the great adventure that you made it. For I believe that the measure of a man does not rest in his worldly possessions, but in what he holds in his heart. In you, my dear Jimmie, I found comfort whenever my world was closing in on me. In you, my love, I found a place to rest from the worries of my day. You lived your life with such optimism that your loving shadow was all I needed to feel calm in the middle of any storm.
So, what do I do now, and to whom do I turn?
I miss you so much Jimmie, that words can’t describe. But, I know that you filled me with so much love that somehow, I’ll go on. For the Lord has spoken, and I know this is our last earthly goodbye.
I will cherish the memories of which there are so many. I will continue to see you in the faces of our children and their children’s children, cause you filled all of our lives with a love that keeps giving.
So, goodbye my darling.
Goodbye my sweet love.
Until we meet again.
I’ll always love you.
Your Sweet Rose.

Part One
One Last Goodbye
Dear Jimmie,
It’s me your “Sweet Rose,” here, to talk to you before I say “goodbye.”
Let me start by saying that of all the love stories ever told, ours is the one that I’ll remember the most.
From the first time that our eyes met on that basketball court, to the last time I kissed you goodnight, the pages of our lives are filled with nothing but love.
Forty-three years later, it is the overwhelming power of that love that makes it so hard to write this last chapter of our love story.
Baby, I wake up in the middle of the night reaching for the one whose kept me warm through so many cold nights. But all I find is the empty space where your heart used to beat so close to mine.
I close my eyes and there you are, that teenager in love, showing up that night on my parents’ doorsteps, at 9 o’clock no less, wondering if you were to ask, would I say “yes.”
You wanted me in your life Jimmie, and I’m so glad I said yes, cause a life without you would have been a life filled with regrets. You called me your “Sweet Rose,” but I don’t know if I ever told you that you were my “Solid Rock.”
Young and naïve, two kids blinded by love, that’s how we started, remember?

I worked with Jimmy in the Parking Lot. Everytime the ticket machine would break down. Jimmy was always there to help me. Jimmy was a good co worker and friend to me. I will miss him dearly. Always had a big smile on his face greeting me. Rest In Peace Jimmy. You are missed by many.. 

Hello family, I wanted to give you my sincere condolences. Jimmy was a very special and happy human being, every time we met we were making jokes and laughing, even when I managed to go see him in the hospital. He was an angel like Auntie and Junito, teaching us to love and be happy in life. We will carry you in our hearts, God won another angel. With much love, Annie your cousin and family. May you rest in peace.

Jimmie always lit up the room with his big genuine smile.  What a calm soul he had within.We will never forget the courage he maintained throughout is battle. It's as if he was trying to comfort us. 
We will always remember Jimmy for his kindness and joy he spread during our family gatherings. 
Jimmy made it clear to us during one of the visits his happiest days  was when he was around family. 
He expressed how much he loved us. 
You will deeply be missed always but will never be forgotten. 
Love Betsy & Jr.

Jimmie was so kind to everyone and enjoyed  being with family so much. The grace that is his legacy remains  with his loving wife  Rose, his amazing children and  wonderful grandchildren. Our prayers and good wishes are with you all.

We are so grateful to  have known you Jimmie and being family with you. God Bless You Jimme,  and the  legacy you have  imprinted on his earth.



I have the privilege of being your 1st born and calling you Dad.  I am grateful to have known what is it to have a father’s love and it is through your love that I know I will be able to get through this difficult time.  

Thank you Dad for the memories.  From learning how to ride my 1st Strawberry Shortcake bike when I was 5 to driving my first car at 20.  To being the loudest most proudest one at any one my concerts or games cheering me on, “WOOHOO....GO ROSALEE!”  I remember acting like the embarrassed teenager by shaking my head and rolling my eyes but secretly loving it!  For all those fun weekends you made sure we had family time whether it was at grandma’s house or the park.  Those Sunday morning bowling lessons as well as the batting cages in hopes that we could make our own team one day.   Showing me how to dance salsa even when it seemed like I might of had 2 left feet.  Flying down to Florida just to surprise me although you hated flying.  Egg hunting with the grandkids making sure they found every last one.  How about you “break dancing” or taking an hour perfecting your afro which was held by only 1 can of hair spray.  Having a Puerto Rico shirt in every color possible.  Your hats, hats, and even more hats.  You sneezing at least 5 times in row after putting on your cologne.  Proudly hanging your grandkids baby sneakers on your rear view mirror.  You were funny, nerdy, picky, and loving.  Hard working, generous, stubborn, but one of a kind. 

I will always be grateful for you and for the life you provided me.  I will thank God for choosing you to be my Dad.  I will always love you and miss you.  Until we meet again.  


Jimmie was born to Pedro and Natividad Lefebre in Neptune, NJ in 1957.  He was brother to Carmen, Pedro Jr., Maria, Cilio, Jerry, Arlene, Betsy, and Eddie.  He later moved to Elizabeth, NJ where we met.  I will always remember the first time I saw him, it was at a basketball game, when we were 16 and 17 years old.  We started dating 3 months later.  Once we turned 18 and 19, Jimmie asked my parents to marry me.  We were married on July 23, 1977.  The following year in July, we had our first born Rosalee, follow by Rozalynn in July of 1980, and last but not least Jimmie Jr. AKA JJ in June of 1982.  

In our 42 years of marriage Our family thankfully has grown beautifully with the additions of our grandchildren Angel, Xavier, Christopher, Nikayla, Jenessa, Melaynie Jae, and Jaelani Rose.  Most recently we became great grandparents to Ellianna Grace.  

Jimmie was a hard working family man who always put family first in all that he did.  He loved listening to music, especially collecting oldie songs.  He loved to eat, dance, play cards, dominoes, and horseshoes.  He was so proud to be on a team where he played softball and bowling along side his brothers, cousins, nephews, and friends.  He loved spending time with his grandkids who made him feel young by running around and watching cartoons.  He loved making jokes and telling stories.  He was everyone favorite cheerleader.  

He will truly be missed by everyone.  We thank The Lord who has blessed our family throughout the years with such beautiful memories with Jimmie that will last all of us a lifetime.  I know you will continue to be by my side and watch over us.  Love you forever.
