So sorry to hear about Timmy. Once we were all so young and we would see all of the cousins just about every week end. But the years pass and now we are saying good bye. My thoughts go out to you as you mourn for him. God bless all of you.

James was and still is; my baby brother. I remember him mostly as a baby and cherish my memories. He used to squat down to play like a Vietnamese fisherman squatting in a boat. When he wanted something; he didn't get up, he would just waddle over to it and pick it up, and waddle back. I know I couldn't do that! I'm glad his friends are remembering him, and I'm sure he is very pleased. It's sad when one loses his life so young, but I know he is with God, the Angels, and our loved ones who have already passed over.

I love you James,
Brenda

James, We shared youth group together at VBC, we played ball together, we sang together, we laughed together, we shared our youths together and for that sharing we are better adults. Our prayers are with your children and all that have loved you. May God hold you in the palm of His hand, David, Kellie & Family.
