Papa (Dad), I miss you tremendously, I cannot believe just a week ago, we were joking around and you were still here. You took me in before I was even born and raised me as your own. I'll never forget the times we've had and what you have done for me and my mom and sister. I'll always love you and will always hold a special place in my heart for you.  I've never been so devastated and lost. You'll always be my Dad and I'll always be thinking of you and one day we'll see each other again. Thanks for always being there for me. I love you papa.

My impression of Falva Jimmy Sides is that he was a self-made very successful business man with his t.v. business, rental properties, and beauty shop, to name a few.  At one point in time, we were related.  Years ago he was married to my sister, Merideth.  He loved and provided for her, my nephew Robert and niece Jeana during their younger years.  He always liked to joke with us kids, and going to their house was fun because they had lots of neat toys.  Once we were at a waterside restaurant in Kemah, and who should come boating up but Jimmy and my sister.  They joined us, and while eating he found a small black pearl in an oyster.  That was neat.   I also remember his big van and how cool I thought his rows and rows of wavy hair looked.   I was always greeted with a smile, even up until the last time I saw him a few years ago.  I know he will be missed.  My family and I want to express our sincere condolences to all who knew and loved Jimmy.

Jimmy was a wonderful friend.  I thank God for the privilege of being able to get to know Jimmy.  He attended the Channelview Light House Church with us for many years.  We continued to visit with one another throughout the years.  He was so kind and wonderful!!!  He will be missed greatly -- Gwen
