Not sure what to say?

Jamie was one of those people you are lucky to know as you go through life. So many fond memories. When I think of him the first thing I think of is his infectious laugh and smile. He was a wonderful friend.

Just from reading his bio it is obvious he was an incredible man with more causes to take on. I am so sorry for your loss of this incredible human being. My mom died at 58 so I know how it feels to say he was too young to go. Carry on his causes and know you are doing good things for this world.

Though we never met, I was deeply saddened by David's passing, and want to share this with his family. Our county, Stark County, Ohio has been enriched with the showing of the Resilience movie to over 2000 educators over the past 4 years. I believe David's vision, talent and expertise has changed lives and may, literally, have saved lives. He opened hearts and made a difference. May those who loved him take comfort in the raising of a good man.

I will remember Jamie for ever. My sincere. Sympathy for his loss to your family and the world he would have impacted and changed.

Rest in Peace James. My deepest sympathy to the Redford family.
Remember with Joy that James lived and that he was you son.

I work with children, who have reading challenges, and David’s film, about Dylan, was so uplifting for all of us to see. Appreciate all of his efforts over his lifetime. Blessings to his family.

She was nine at the time, struggling at a state school in London, confused and frustrated at to why she couldn't keep up with her peers. We organised a screening of The Big Picture at her school so her friends and teachers could understand what she was experiencing. It gave her a great boost and lift, just when she needed it most. I'm so grateful to David's for...
