James Jr. was a very caring employee of Grunnagles/Ament/Nelson funeral home. He helped us through the process of planning and preparing required paperwork for the funeral of my sister, Michelle Alipaz. I am deeply saddened by your loss. I also worked for James’s dad, T-Bone at Stephen’s & Poletti Ambulance.
May God ease your pain do to his loss.

Our deepest condolences, love and prayers to all the family. Jimmy as My Mama (Frances Nava) called him. We will miss your smile and words of encouragement. The big hugs and I loved that you told me that you and my brother Ralph would run to my parents house so you could get the tortillas Mama was making and make sure you put lots of butter on them! Rest in Peace.
Margaret (Nava), Mario, Sommer and Autumn.
