God granted you long life, and that speaks for itself. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing you, but your works are manifested in the life of your children and grandchildren. Thank God I was blessed with the privilige of knowing James and his mother Mary who welcomed me with such geniune warmness and love. To the family: I know it shall be difficult at first, but remember God is ever with you. We all must travel that same road, so be ready when your time comes. We all shall meet on that beautiful shore, never to part again. My love and prayers is ever with you all. God Bless.
