Our condolences to the Roberts family,

James was a kind, humorous and a sweet friend of mine. He was my coworker and I dedicate this poem to him.

James James you will always be missed.
You tinckered with your phone a lot.
You laughed and laughed at my facial smerks and my old silly remarks.
You rushed through meals and shared your spot.
Not a selfish person your not.
You smiled when people were not fair.
Not a harsh word did you speak.
And that is why you will always be
a friend that touched so many hearts.
And when I speak to God in prayer
I will mention that for you. So friend take care
and know we miss your presence there alot.

your friend and coworker
