Dear Barbara and Family, please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers and share in the sad loss of James. Although it's been many years since we were together, the last memory is very special. Mama and Daddy, Ken and myself had dinner at your house. James was kind and welcoming, with a beautiful smile. We are sorry for your loss and hope the love of family and friends surround you. Wish we could be with you, we are there in spirit. Love to all, Leslie and Ken

Dear Barbara and family,

So sorry that we can not be there with you to celebrate James' life and legacy, and perhaps provide a shoulder to lean on. Though we didn't get to spend much time together, I still have many fond memories of him.
Sending love to you all,
