I´m going to miss you James .
From joking & always mess´n with me in line at Luby´s to you pulling up to the house in your car or truck ready to show what you had just bought or added to it. We met started hanging & in High school & it never stopped over the years . I always ran into you either going or just getting off one of your Job´s. Hard working man & never heard you complain about it . It hurt me to hear that you passed away & it hurts because the way life is it usually doesn´t give us a chance to say Goodbye . But I know and Believe that I´ll see you in Heaven someday . I´m going to miss you Bro .
