Words could never express the hurt and pain after receiving the call of my dear friend, James passing. I prayed for a speedy recovery, but God makes no mistake even when we don't understand His reasons. For that i will never question God. It feel as if I have lost my oldest son. My heart is broken and I will miss our phone calls, laughs and time shared together. I will cherish our fond memories forever in my heart. As he called me, "PETE" will definitely miss you. Family I will continue to pray for the strength needed at such a sad time. Love you son, James Ceatham
