James Wesley Raman

I watched your memorial film and felt the gentle and generous spirit that James filled in the essence he shared with his family, his friends, his fellowship with those he knew and loved and those he loved without knowing them. So while we may mourn his absence on Earth, his presence in heaven is a reason to rejoice, for James will always be with us. Even with those, like me, who never knew him. I know my Darling Girl, Francesca, who also went to heaven recently, will want to teach him yoga. Good ever and ever, Jim. You are praised.

Never knew you...but know you now.

Jimmy Boy-
It's been such a long while and I often thought about you so fondly. I am so sorry we lost touch through the years- have thought a great deal about it the last several days. We both moved away and on to such a full life (always thought of us as the ones that got out), and it is heavy hearted but joyous when I see the beautiful family you built. You created so much and I know through the pain your family will continue to be so proud. I am so proud to have called you friend. Even in our younger years you lived such a full life, leaving no stone unturned in your pursuit of goals. Clearly that carried over to your adult life and the beautiful family and professional life you built. When I read about the amazing work you have done in Manila and around autism it filled my pained heart to know you never changed when it came to passionately accomplishing the unthinkable. I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you all this in person and I wish life didn't get in the way and create so much distance and years. I'll pray for your family now Jimmy Boy and while my heart aches hearing of your passing I know I am blessed to have shared this earth with you. Very few lived as fully as you did if only for a short time. I'll miss you old friend- rest easy now.
Love you jimmy boy, Gdnt
