James WAY

Last night I woke up thinking about Mr. Way, and I felt compelled to pray for him and Annie and Lion. James Way was once a patient of mine, and I was privileged to meet his lovely family also. He shared his history with me and the pictures of his art, and I was so moved by his story and his person. I am so sorry to learn of his passing just now, though I suspected it due to his condition. I am so sorry Lion that your dad died. What a beautiful person he was. I pray Jesus will be a comfort to...

During the past two years I have come to know and love Mr. Way's work. Recently, I was strongly and unceasingly compelled to purchase a piece and am joyous to own it. Today, I learned of his passing and am deeply saddened by the loss of this gifted artist and obviouly beloved man.

James was a huge inspiration to me when I was a high school art student 20 years ago. I fell in love with his work. My very first painting was a replica of one his paintings. I've been painting on and off for 20 years now. That painting I replicated still remains as one of my favorites. What a talented and inspiring man. Rest in peace and prayers to his loved ones.

Such a great loss. Prayers to you and your family.

So sorry for the loss of this beautiful and talented soul.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will hold you and Lion in my prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort with the memories of all you shared. God Bless your family.

Dear Annie and Lion, It was so good to welcome you back to First Presbyterian, to celebrate your return. And now this sad news. We will now mourn with you, but hold you up. Love - it is unstoppable, it cannot end, cannot be defeated. I hope you will feel James' gift of love and presence always. God bless you.
With love, Molly Peterson
