To the Owens Family, you have our deepest sympathies. Junebug was a music ministry friend of mine. Later in life when he serve our schools as P.O.P. Coordinator, he ministered to my eldest son, Keon; prophetically speaking into his life during a crucial time. I appreciated his positive influence in my son's life and his support in echoing our values to him. You were a great blessing to many, James. You are loved and will be truly missed. Thank you for all the good Mansfield experienced because of you.
