While looking for something else I happened to stumble on James' obituary. I remember when James was in nursing school. He was a student Nurse when I worked in SICU. He was a kind soul with a helpful spirit. Being an older student didn't phase him a bit. He was on a passionate mission to help others. My daughter was in a car accident some years later and James came by her room and prayed with her and brought her communion. To this day I am thankful for him and his ministry to my daughter. Certainly he has a special throne in heaven. God Bless to you and your family.
