Not sure what to say?

I remember James coming to our home just after we moved to Hawaii in 1988. He had to go containers and was eating what looked like Chinese food. He offered me a bite and while I was chewing I asked what it was? With a straight face he informed me that it was monkey meat! He was quite serious for a few minutes then laughed. Got me good and became a special friend.

Thinking of James today. Can´t wait to see him again. Love to the family.

Nancy, Marsha, and family, with you in missing such a bright light..... I can just hear him say, "what did I miss?"

Dear Nancy and family, Love you all very much. I have a video to send to you but no current address. If you see this, please email me your mailing address. [email protected]

With my husband

Dear Nancy
This is Germaine (Silva) Cruz. I knew Jim when I was a teenager. I'm so sorry to hear about your lost. I was reflecting on how the people in my early years of learning the truth in the Makaha cong and how they influenced and help set the truth and love Jehovah and the ministry deep in my heart like the Borges (your aunty Jean), Linda Demiel, Cassandra Borge several others.
Which brought to Jim.....he was incredible, his zeal and his love for Jehovah and how he made preaching...

Marcia, We are so sorry to hear about Jimmy. We got to visit with him at your mom's memorial and I talked with him on the phone regarding your dad's memorial....he had a special light within and a great smile!My prayers are with you and his family. Judy (Elsenbach) Van Noy and family

James will always hold a special place in our hearts. We treasure the special memories of our time with your family in Hawaii and at our little Kingdom Hall. Looking forward to more special times in the new world when we can be reunited. Love you Nancy and pray that Jehovah gives you comfort and strength to continue serving him faithfully till the end. Love Curt and Jo

Dear Marcia, Nancy, sons and daughter,

My heart is with you in your sorrowful loss.
It is also with you in Joy for everything Jim
was and brought so much kindness and love to all of you. And his humor and a helping hand given to those who needed it whether asked for or no. His generous soul is with you.

I'll miss you on Sunday. You're in my thoughts.

Love to all,
Chris Powers

I will miss his humor and his laugh. See you soon Jim, and your Mom and Dad. Love to you Marsha and Nancy.
