Momma J...wow you are truly an amazing woman. One who has touched so many lives and in so many ways, with unconditional love and support you have nutured many. I happen to be one of them, so I know this to be so very true. I'll never forget your firmness, kindness and open loving arms that held me tight at times and sometimes didn't let go. I will always hold those memories very dear in my heart. I love you Momma J!

Mrs.James, I have so many fond memories,but there is one that jumps out and that is when you took in my dog named TJ which of course you immediately changed the name to Joey. Joey was very sick and you nurtured him back to health. Joey became so spoiled that he will only eat is he has hand-fed. I would never forget those wonderful Thanksgiving diners specially your german chocolate cake. My sons will always refer to you as Grandma James and will always remember your baked goodies and for all of that I will always be grateful.

Flo, you were the rock of so many families, you were a second mother to my daughters and a true friend to me. I'll miss you, but I'll still hear you giving orders from your heavenly space!! Enjoy what you see, my friend, and know that you created a wonderful following.
