James my love. I have a hole in my heart since you have been gone. God is filling it with your love since you didn't like to see anyone sad.You were like one of my little brothers. I am going to miss you so much that it hurts. I will always remember the smile on your face when I gave you the Autograph picture of Clay Guida.I will always remember the years the 8 of us lived in pawpaws house and we lost power and we played hide n seek. You were good at that game cause you were the littlest. The last time I saw you will be the face I will always remember, your smile.We loved playing spoons and watching you try and grab one before us. But you got faster as you got older. LOL. May god and your dad hold you close and luv you to eternity. I know I will.I just wish I could have said goodbye. We will celebrate your life like we do as a family. There will always be just the 8 of us. That will never change. I love you my sweetie.

James, my little brother, I am so sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. You were such a good person. I will never get over losing you. You meant more to me than you know, more than words can say. You were my baby brother. I will forever remember this past christmas you spent here with us, it meant so much to all of us. I don't think I will ever be able to forgive myself, I feel like I let you down. I love you and always will. You are at peace now and with daddy. Give him a great big hug for me.
Love you
