I cannot even begin to imagine what James family is going through and how difficult this time is for each of you. My heart goes out to his wife, daughters, parents, family & friends. We know that no words can help ease the pain and loss that each of you is feeling right now. Because of a friend, a family member of James, I connect and also feel pain knowing this is the toughest time we will experience in our walk, our journey, thru this life. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that will be remembered, the laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even at this moment it seems like we can never recover from a loss like this, it's these very memories that will help push the pain away and aid in bringing a smile; a smile of love, a smile of family, a smile of relationships, and being reminded of ALL the lives James touched. God's Blessing to each and every one.
