In Memory of James Ondra Kinlow ~ (Debra Estep)

July 24, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know James, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I am older than James, and also from a small town in washington and i knew James well we was in the same unit. I felt compelled to write to let you know that for every guy out there like me, there's a 10,000 others that read this story with the same sympathy and compassion in which I did but chose not to write. Even though it has been several months since the incident, it is with great compassion that I write to express my sympathy to the family and friends of this apparently fine soldier. May God be with you and your family through this most unfortunate time.

Daphanie & Family,



We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we don't know why things happen as they do, but we don't give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going. These bodies of ours are constantly facing death just as Jesus did; so it is clear to all that it is only the living Christ within who keeps us safe. 2nd Corinthians 4:8



Sweet, sweet Daphanie, I cannot begin to understand what you and your precious babies are going. through. I pray for all of you and hope that my prayers will help you through this very difficult time. You hang in there and be strong for your babies.



Remember, I am but a phone call away ... (and one street over) if you should need me. James is now in Heaven. He was a good man. His memory will forever be present because he touched a lot of lives.



I love you.

We will remember James with a big smile on his face as he entered the store every other day after work. He was so humble and knew just what to say to bring a smile to our faces as well. Our heart goes out to the Kinlow family. Be encouraged and hold on to the promises of God. He promised to never leave us or forsake us, no matter what the situation may be.

My prayers go out to each member of your family. I know that this is a difficult time for all of you but know that James is with God. Being a Lincolnton native and member of First Baptist Church I too feel a deep loss. May God bless and keep all of you.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family in Thomson and Lincolnton, Georgia. I am orginally from Lincolnton and what touches one touches all in our community. As a former military member this touches our military families as well. Keep SGT Kinlow in your heart and keep holding on to God's unchanging hand.
