Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
My deepest Sympathy.

My cousin, James, was always larger than life to me. He always made me smile. His great smile and infectious laugh just lit up the room and made everyone feel glad to be around him. He was a blessing to my life and I will treasure the memories of all the good times we shared.

We will miss James at the Joker table using his black marbles. He always had to have the black ones! He had a great attitude and a fantastic smile!

We shared many meals, Joker games, stories and laughs with James and Audrey. James's booming laugh was always there to cheer us. James had a passion for God, Audrey and family - and life itself. He will be greatly missed.

About three years ago, James sunk a very, very long put for an eagle on the par 5 18th hole at Cedar Creek CC. It was the Methodist church scramble, and I have never seen a more proud, handsome smile on any man's face than that of James that day. I think he was smiling for days after. I will miss the man, the smile was always there.
