To ALL of James' Family and Friends;
My sincere sympathy goes out to you all in your loss with James' passing. I did not know James personally, but can only imagine what he and you went through with his illness, as my Step-son suffered w/ Brain Cancer, which he had 4 times, from age 6, until his final passing at age 42, five years ago. Please R.I.P., James.
