James was my favorite Uncle. I love him and his entire family very much. James had a very welcoming spirit. All that came to visit were welcome; always greeted with a big smile and left with a long arm extended wave. He loved people and never met a stranger. I have fond memories of James and he will always remain dear to my heart and I hold my memories close to my heart. Our Lord and Savior has a greeter standing at the gates and his name is James. I can just see him waving people in. I will be glad to see him when I enter those gates and I am quiet sure he will lead us around and show us the place to make us all feel very comfortable. If there are cokes in heaven, he will surely offer us one.
Love to all of my family, He would not have you suffer his loss long. He loved all of you dearly!
