Rebecca, Betty Sue, Patsy and Ravon:
James will always be very special to me in that during some of the most difficult times in his life he always walked with pride and did not let anything get him down. I am so thankful that he did not have to suffer anymore than he did, but God had his plans worked out. Jimmy, I am sure will be lost without his father, the bonds were very strong, and I only hope that God will continue to comfort him and all of you. I appreciate the love, concern and thoughtfulness he has shown mother (Aunt Gladys) over the years, I am just sorry that with her condition that she will not be able to realize that he is gone. Unfortunately, over the last year I am sure that she did not even realize just how sick James was. Again, James will always hold a very special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love Barbara
