James,
It's hard to wrap my mind around this. Your absence is definitely felt every day and it hurts my heart. My heart breaks for your boys and your parents who have to pick up the pieces and move forward without you. I'm gonna miss your smile and loud personality so much. You always lit up the room and were the life of the party. Our friendship is one that I hold close and your memory will be kept alive by all of us who loved you. Fly high buddy and watch over your mama. No parent should have to go through the grief she's feeling and will continue to always feel when the thinks of you.
Love you bud. See you on the other side someday.
