Adam another year has passed since my last message to you. Well son, it is that time of the year to write my feelings down. I like to write how I feel in words because you are not around. But that is not actually true since you lie big in my heart each day. From the first day that I held you, you stole my heart along with your brother. So know that I miss your laugh and all the things you loved to do. But in these times rest assured you're in a better place and I look forward to someday being with you.

Tony and I love you son.

Time heals pain slowly. Physical and emotional as well. No matter how we rush the process the tears in our eyes still begin to swell. Yes, there are so many fond memories that sometimes balances out the pain. Like remembering your funny laughter helps ease some of the memories aching pain. So know dear son your brother and I think of you daily. Please continue to enjoy all of our loved ones around God's throne. One day we'll have a GREAT reunion when heaven will be ALL of our home!

I can't turn back the hands of time and erase the day you took wings but I can embrace the future knowing we will be together again. So hug all of the family and give them "ALL" my love. I'll see you all at the pearly gates where we'll all bask in God's love

I haven't talked to you in a little while Bro. It sucks not being able to share with you the beautiful things I see in this life. It sucks not having an Uncle Adam for my son. Keep watching out for me and my family. Love you Brother.

June 6, 2019

Son, the tears don't flow as often But your absence still tugs at my heart. I truly miss your wit and laughter and all the sports you played a part of. I'm certain that you are happy laughing all the time enjoying the presence of Jesus and all our family there who are doing fine in his care. Remember when the roll is called up yonder I'll see you again face to face. We will walk around heaven together living forever in the Pearly Gates!

I love you Adam

ADAM

Sometimes time passes quickly as soon it will be another year shortly since you left us.
The days go by so fast; the sun rises and quickly sets again. I often want the day to last like when we played the sports of soccer and baseball. I love seeing that bat in your hands or you scoring a soccer goal.
Coaching you was my greatest pride. I wish I could have those days again. The pain still tugs at my heart son. I really miss you by my side. But I'm learning not to be selfish because in God's presence is where you abide. So know that I miss you dearly. That cheerful smile and laugh but I'll see you when I get there where our happiness will forever last.

I LOVE YOU ADAM!!!!!

Adam

If time heals all our wounds then I must need more time. You are so strongly in my heart that it really hasn't healed with time. Yet since there are so many fond memories some of the hurt turns into joy especially remembering all of the laughter that came fro you at our athletic events. So again my son I post my feelings of how much I miss you so that when the roll is called up yonder along with your grandparents; Uncle Corey; Aunt Net for your family meeting just say hello from me.

Adam Adam Adam,
First. I love you Brother. Save me a good seat next to you whenever I get there. Thinking about you and still asking for help/guidance from you turns stormy skies into a rainbow big enough to stop a music festival (mid set) you should have been at with me. It happenned last weekend at FreePress.. You were that epic rainbow. Something happened at that time. Anytime i ask for guidance you're there.. June has always been a rough month for me because it was the last month we had together Brother. Good to know you're still there. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you man. And A.D., everything happens for a reason. You Squared your actions as best you could. I was there to see. Brother to Brother, I love you too sir. My love goes out towards all aspects of Adam's extended family.
Love and Light,
Kerry A. Kalish

Adam

If I could turn back the hands of time I would do so many, many more things to bring you joy and laughter. I would try to erase all painful things. It is stated that time heals all wounds. Well son I guess I need a lot more time because each day on earth without you does not lessen this pain of mine.

However I know you are where there is no sorrow; no pain; no misery. So with that in mind as you approach your 31st birthday I find some peace knowing you are so very happy. I will see you later but until then tell all of our family who I also miss and adore to stand by the heavens pearly gates and wait for me at the door as I join the family one day.

I love you very much son.

Dear James Family,
I remember Adam and Tony from their days at Redd School and how very kind they were to my daughter, Stacy. I am so sorry for the loss you have endured all these years, and pray that you will find comfort in knowing Adam is skateboarding with Jesus. I would love to hear how Tony is doing these days. He was such a good friend to Stacy and he would be so proud of her today. I came upon this by accident tonight, so I know that God had a plan for me to see and remember your precious son. God bless all of you.

June 28, 2013

May the God of all comfort help your family to endure during this time of grief.

They say time heals all wounds. Perhaps that may be true for some. Yet, with each passing year I miss you more and more my son. Your smile was so vibrant. Your laughter was one of a kind. So those are the things that keep me going since you are always on my mind. I truly, truly miss you but I'll see you again one day. We'll catch upon baseball and soccer the games we loved to play. So give a hug for me to MeMaw and PaPa. And a kiss on the cheek for Aunt Nett and and hand shake to Uncle Corey. Bid all other loved one's a great hello. I love you son--you're the best.

It's funny how memories work. Here I am, driving home from hard day at work and I start thinking of the good times, when I didn't have to work and lived with my mom. You were there. I remember having so much fun skateboarding. You were there. I remember hanging out at parties and with friends. You were there. Now i'm driving home from work and even though it was a rough day, i'm suddenly better because even though your not here now, you're still there, in my heart and memories. Forever. And Always. Kerry said it best, keep shining Brother.

Not one day goes by where i don't think of you Bro. The Light that shines from the lives you touched still shines strong. Everything I do, i feel you right here with me.
It's still very hard without you Brother.

Adam: My fond memories of you playing soccer and running up and down the halls of financial aid are still vivid. I could see you running around heaven now controlling those 'rumbunctious' kids, saying give me the ball. Rest in peace my Brother.

A. D. James, Jr.

June 29, 2012

Adam another year has passed and this time of the year is still difficult for me. On July 20, 2012 you would have been 27 years old and still enjoying the benefits of life. But each year on June 28 and July 2 I can only remember the sadness I feel with you not being with me to share your memories. I am sure that your aunt Annette,Uncle Corey, grandmother ME-MA; and grandfather A. D. Sr. are still looking down on us to make sure we are doing okay. I truly miss you son each and every day since you departed this life in Houston with me and your family.

May 12, 2009

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I was compelled to write you a note after reading your son's obituary. You do not know me personally but we have a lot in common. We lost our 19 year old 3 years ago by a tragic accident. Our son's write up sounded so much like yours - and I know it has been a year for you but I know your heart is still breaking. We have 2 sons also - our son, Drew, was our oldest that died. I read all 10 pages of your guest book and I knew I had to tell you about another family that has the same grief. Our son is buried in Houston and we live in Arlington Texas. We went by his grave on the 4th of July and it was the first time we did not cry - it has been 3 years and 5 months. I still think of him every day but at least it is not the first thing I think about in the morning - it happens though. Please contact me if you need to do so -- I could not help but let you know how much I feel the pain and suffering that you feel. Sincerely, C. Davis

I just heard about Adam today and my prayers go to his family. I went to Spring Cypress Presbyterian School and Redd School with Adam - I have great memories of playing with him and Tony at recess, and I also have him on videotape when we were in some kind of gymnastics show. I am so sorry that he is gone, but it is comforting to know that he is in a much greater place.

Anna, A.D., and Tony,

I was very saddened to hear that Adam had passed. With all the worries and trials I have had with David, I know there is nothing so devastating as losing your child or brother. I can still picture him at my home on Peace River Drive, spending the night, being silly, or yes, getting on my nerves. I know David will really miss their friendship even though it became long distance. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Take care of yourselves knowing Adam is with God.

All the memories of you keep running through my head. You were so funny, kind, intelligent, and generous. You would have given the shirt off your back. I remember the first day of 5th grade. Thomas and I were talking and he was telling me how he made his first friend in his new school, and how you were so funny. I know I have only talked to you a few short times in the last year or two, but I still feel like I know you well because of Kerry. It's so hard to believe you're gone. Thomas and I will miss you. Rest in peace, Adam.

AD,



Please accept our sincere sympathy on the death of your son. We know that memories will keep him close to you and that they will be a source of comfort. Adam is probably looking down and saying, "Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free. I am following the path God laid for me." You and your family are in our prayers.
