JAMES C. SHADDY

It's going to be 14 years now since you left...I think about you every single day and miss you more than I can put into words. I see your face in my son every time I look at him. You would've made a wonderful grandpa. I love you Daddy, I can't wait until we meet again.

Well my brother it has been over a year now. It is still hard to think that you are gone. I think of you every day, and with those thoughts comes strength. Ever time I find myself thinking that things are hard or that I cant do something you are always there to push me though. Your boy is getting so big now, and he looks just like you. Every time I see him he says "bike" because he loves my bike. I want to thank you for the strength you have given me to quit smoking. It has almost been a year...

J,
How will I ever be able to go on without you making me laugh till it hurts. You were my baby, buddy and friend. I love you little bro, thanks for my buddy Jay and for Michelle... I am glad you are finally at peace.

My dear friend James, I didn't know you long but I knew you forever. Im still looking foward to seeing you again. Goodbye for now, my brother forever.

Dear Brother,
I don't think you could ever know how much I loved you. You were a friend a confidant and an amazing brother. When ever I see your little man I see you. I promise that he will always know who is daddy is and what he stood for. I will treat him as if he were my own. I miss you with all my heart, but I'm glad that you can finally rest now. You fought for so long and so hard. You truly showed us all how strong we can be. Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart for...

It was a beautiful day when we had the time to go fishing together this past year. James, you caught the first fish of the day and your first in a long time. "What do I do?" you asked and Jason in his wisdom said, " Reeling it in would be a good idea." Your big heart, devotion to your family and friends and strong will to see your goals through has changed my perspective on values that are really important. You have been a central figure that has reeled in a great deal of people to what is...
