I composed a message yesterday and it posted as one incomplete sentence so I am redoing the original: Miss Pat & Mr Larry, To lose a son so loving and beautiful and faithful. I am so heartbroken for everyone who loved James and knew him. So sweet and such a big heart. He died the way he lived; as a hero. All of the Angels have a new best friend. ✝

"Uncle Larry and Aunt Pat",
Years and distance have separated us, but in my heart, I will always hold precious childhood memories of time spent with you and your boys. My heart breaks for you in the loss of James. Words are simply inadequate at times like this, but I pray that the power of the Holy Spirit and the grace and peace that can only come from our Savior will be adequate to sustain you one day at a time. Heaven will be sweeter.
Know that you are loved and I will pray for you and your family without ceasing.

James started coming into my business a while back, and I had not seen him lately. I did not know him well, but but upon our first meeting immediately realized that he was an all around good guy.
I hope you think of James as a hero; I know that I and many more surely do. The world could use a few more men like him. Sadly, today there is one less.
