I am so grateful for the opportunity to have known Sr. James, especially these last few years. She will forever be in my heart and I miss her so much. She was always ready to help with prayers when they were most needed. I'm sure she is continuing her help from above.

Sister James was a very special person who really cared. I am fortunate to have met such a wonderful person. May the Lord reward her for all the good she helped others experience.

Sister James was so full of joy and life. Her smile and laughter cheered everyone. She was so proud of her "kids" from AGO and also such a support to St. Henry's Parish, where she lived these past many years. She and the other Poor Handmaid Sisters continued their mission at St. Henry by their presence and daily witness. I will always be grateful for her friendship and support!
