Dorinda Hennings wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Jimmy Ballard, You will be sorely missed. I picture you, my friend, arriving at the pearly gates, surrounded by family and friends who went before you. As you reach to cross the threshold, a loud whinny resounds and echoes around you. The thundering sound of mighty hooves approaching. As you look up a magnificent powerful bay stallion appears, rearing and tossing his exquisite Arabian head. (Very strong. No longer feeble. Genghis welcoming you home.”

“Jimmy will be missed by so many people. He was my friend and a true one. He leaves a huge hole in my life as true friends are hard to come by. I will miss him all of my life and I am taking it hard. I know there's a Heaven because no one ismore deserving to be there. I picture beloved family and friends greeting him and Gheghis galloping up to escort him thru the pearly gates...a powerful beautiful vibrant stallion. With much love, Dorinda Hennings and David Hennings.”
