To the parents and family of James, i would like to express my sorrow for the lost of your son i did not know him personally but life gone so young touched me however i have found comfort from God who gives comfort in his word the bible at Isiah chapter 25 verse 8 God promise to swallow up death forever and to gently wipe the tears from our faces and the lord Jesus promise to bring back to life our love ones to a paradise on earth in the near future. All of Gods promises have all come true may the God of all comfort comfort you as well
