Sharing the Love we have as sister and brother, and being with our families as we always wanted to be. James was a wonderful and caring brother as well as a friend, he was good to his family and especially to his children and grandchildren. His memory will always be with me eventhough he went to a better place. Without him will be sadness but I know he is not far away and we will all be with his someday along with Mom.
James was very special man to me. He was my father-in-law. I am greatful for him, because without him I would have never met my Husband, his son. I will always be greatful for him for excepting me as his daughter and being a wonderful Grandfather to our children. I know I will see James again for he has gone to be with Jesus and the day he was born again will be a cherished moment for me and my husband for we went to the Lord in prayer and our prayers were answered. AMEN!
