Not sure what to say?

An incredible young man with his young wife and children at Thanksgiving table was my greatest memory with his parents lovingly serving an incredible meal and much wisdom was shared at that table. I will always cherish the memory of James and the family that day.

Today I was remembering holidays from long ago - playing with Jim and Sarah, laughing, chasing, jumping off couches as children should do. He was full of joy, and made the holiday visits wonderful. I was so saddened to learn of his passing and send my deepest sympathies.
