Dear Belinda and Reginald,
I am so sorry for your loss. Just know that I observed that you took excellent care of your dad and that he was very proud of you.

My heart is crushed. James Louis will be truly missed. He was truly loved with the greatest love for family and friends. I think of all the unforgettable fun times we had growing up in Malvern Arkansas, which we often talked about. RIP my dear cousin.
