When James was a few years old, I recall his taught response to Christine saying"I could have had a V8" Then on cue, James would bring his little fist up to his forehead with a cute little smirk.

I met Christine and Kathy in the mid-1960's when introduced by Sandy Yerxa-Brandano. They were inseparable even then. Kathy, you were such a devoted and loving sister and second Mom to Christine's son, James. And James, you are my Sweetheart and I hope to see you very soon. Love, Vera Rivers

Kathy, you’ve been so faithful in caring for Chris. She knew it and truly appreciated it. And James, your mom loved you so much, more than anyone in this world. And you were so good to her.
