My life was beautiful for as long as it lasted, but this journey of my life has come to an end, please find comfort in knowing that I have no regrets whatsoever, I’ve enjoyed visiting many places and seeing so many things in my lifetime, some things in life are impossible for mankind to fully understand. My life here on earth was a brief stopping point, but don’t prolong it with unnecessary grief. This was the plan God had for me so, Momma, Aunt Nita, Tarsha, Too-Too and Uncle Duke, God has set me free, I don’t have to worry about the trouble of this world anymore. Love you momma, your one and only son Jim Jim
– Scooter Willie, James
