When I Lost You
I wish I could see you one more time,
Come walking through the door
But I know that is impossible
I will hear your voice no more

I know you can feel my tears
And you don't want me to cry
Yet my heart is broken because
I can't understand why someone
So precious had to die

I pray that God will give me strength
And somehow get me through
As I struggle with the heartache
That came When I Lost You

I love you son, with all my heart

Yet my heart is broken because
I can't understand why someone
So precious had to die

I pray that God will give me strength
And somehow get me through
As I struggle with the heartache
That came When I Lost You

I love you James

Our son James is one of the most kindest, loving,non judgmental people we know. He is a great big brother,who loved, protected, and
from time to time gave his brother and sisters a " hard time" James loves his family and we love him. He is good hearted and a good friend, many told us how they consider him thier brother and how he helped them. We miss you James terribly, our hearts are broken. We love you!! It's been 6 months too long!!

On this day, November 3rd marks the 2 month anniversary of your passing. The amount of pain I feel within, is quite difficult to express. I have never gone through life without you. You have been in my life for 19 years. Without your presence around, is like losing a part of me. It is heartbreaking to not experience adulthood together like we once envisioned. I will always cherish those joyous moments we spent together. All in all, you left a legacy James. You taught me how to love my life, and to never give up on myself. I never will forget those times you chased me outside telling me to stay strong, during my time of need. Your compassion, determination, and humbleness emitted radiance from within. This is my thank you to you. YOU ARE MY HERO. I'm going to live for US from now on. Then one day I will reconnect with you, and we will fly high together. You'll always be apart of my soul. I love you to infinity.

November 3, 2017

James,
It's been two months since you passed. It feels not real, how can you be gone?
I miss you and love you with everything I have. I wish you were here home
with me. My heart aches.
I love you,
Mom

James, I heard a lot of great things about you before I met you. And when I finally met you, you were just as kind as I heard you were. Thank you for loving my niece and for being so patient when I wanted to take picture after picture when you two went to prom. You are missed and prayed for by many people. The outpouring of love and messages across social media says ALOT about the kind of person you were. You will never be forgotten .
Love Margaret's "cool tià"

James, there are are no words that can describe how much I miss your presence. I remember the last time time I spoke to you, I told you I would always be here for you. You may be gone physically, but spiritually I will be here for you forever. Your smile always brightened up a room. Thank you for being such a loving brother, and my best pal. I love you to death, never forget that. Fly high in heaven for me. One day we will reconnect again little brother.❤
