LT. JAMES E. BETHEA

We all Miss You Cousin James Til we meet again

I use to love to go to Brenda and Lonnie's when he would cook breakfast. Lonnie was a great cook. I'm happy that I was a friend to him and Brenda, and that she and I are still friends. You are missed Lonnie!

My heart goes out to James and his family. I wish you peace Brother - David Lewis, 0 P/R'71, Morgan State University,

My heart goes with you. I was privileged to have known James - he was a kind, intelligent, and caring soul. He found a way - and the time - to mentor younger firefighters.. including the occasional wayward Canadian. Rest in peace, Lt. You were one of a kind and will be missed greatly.

My condolences to the Family. James and I go back to Harlem Park Jr. High. I'm really sadden by his passing and just wish peace unto my brother. From Palmdale CA

MAY HIS PEACE WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING AND HIS DIVINE COMFORT CONTINUALLY REST UPON YOU.
LOVE YOU. REMEMBERING YOU IN OUR PRAYERS.

To Daryl A. Bethea and Family> You are in my prayers. If you remember me, I use to speak with your Mom all the days when you were younger. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

RIP Mr. Jimmy! I have heard so many stories about you and my dad over the years that I feel like I know you personally! When a Firefighter falls we all bear the pain but none as heavy as that of the family! May God keep and hold you through this trying time! You have my deepest sympathy!
