Hey Mildred I am sorry to here about James and I am pretty sure my grandma would be sorry to here about him too
James was a very wonderful man. I will miss him dearly. I enjoyed all of our talks and taking care of him very much. He seemed to always have a smile on his face. I will never forget him. He was like a father to me in many ways. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.. I wish you all the best..
To the Yarbrough family- In the quite moments when the hurt is hard to bear. May love become your shelter and may the beauty of precious memories be your comfort. You are held in gentle thought and prayer.
Mildred, we are sorry for your loss. We will miss James but knowing that he is with our Savior in Heaven gives us comfort as I am sure it will you too. We are praying for you and your family.
We were so shocked to read the paper today and to see that your dear sweet James had passed. Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We hope you know that we are here for you if you need us. He was a very nice person and always had a smile and kind word for everyone. God bless you in your time of loss.
