Dearest Jim, Lisa and family, I'm so sorry to hear about James. My prayers have been fervently with you since I first heard on Sunday and wish I could be with you. Though the hurt is unbearable right now please know that our loving Father is with you and if you are mad at Him right now He understands because His son was murdered too. I pray for His peace to rain down on you and give you comfort. The first thing I thought of was I'll never hear James laugh again except in my memories. I love you all. Ann (Pandy) Young

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
