I only met james while house sitting for my daughters grandparents. He would come outside, start a conversation and we would just talk for 10 -20 minutes. He was just so sweet. My prayers are with your family and your fiance. I am so glad I had a few minutes each time I visited to speak to James.

You always had a smile and kind words whenever we saw each other. I know you are looking down on us with that grin that you got whenever we talked about fishing. Rest peacefully Jamie. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
