I loved hearing your sweet voice on the messages you would leave Jennifer whenever I would stay with them. You would always announce yourself even though your sweet voice was so recognizable. You are loved and missed beyond what words can possibly express.

James was the most loving, thoughtful and caring nephew. He cared for everyone and everyone loved him. He was the shining star of Grammy and Dada McKinnon. They loved and cherished him from the day that he was born. I will miss his interesting phone calls and messages that he sent to me. He and his Mom will now be together and both will be extremely happy. He will always be in my heart and prayers.
Love, Aunt Pat

James ,
I don´t know where to start. I still can´t seem to wrap my head around you leaving us. We were so blessed to have you with us for the years we did. I´m so thankful I can look back and remember all the great times we had. From summer picnics at the lake, boat rides ( in which you kept telling Justin to go faster,lol) our trips to the zoo and knoebels and of course going out for coffee and just hanging out with my guys! I´m going to miss you so much. Thank you for coming into our lives when we needed you and blessing us with your unwavering friendship and love . You will always be close to my heart and never forgotten. This isn´t goodbye, it´s see you later.
Love you, Gina (AKA momma bear )
