I just wanted to personally thank everyone who has supported James family and my own. It is comforting to know there are people out there that are so kind and sincere. I know James parents appreciate the thoughtfulness. Drake was his dads pride and joy:) Thanks again, Laveta and Drake

Thank you for all of those who are helping my sister Laveta at this time of need. I am sorry that I can't be there to help but I am glad that there are people who can. My prayers and love go out to James's family (my would have been brother in law-and GREAT father to my nephew!) I know James is in a much better place and watching over his family, smiling down from heaven. Thanks for all of your kind comments and sympathy.
