James was such a wonderful and funny man. Robin and I loved him more than you will ever know. He and Robin loved teasing with each other and I will always miss "My Sharp Dressed Man" that is what I always called him. I know he is sitting in Heaven singing with Elvis. I loved hearing him sing every Sunday. James you will always have a special place in my .
Love always,
Robin and Scottie Stratton
