I have only now just found out about your death, James, from over three years ago now. The Christmas card and letter I sent you was returned to me. I am sad. I have wondered for these past few years why I did not hear from you at least during the holidays as you always did stay in touch.
May you rest in peace with your dear beloved mother and other family who have gone beyond the veil. I will always miss you, your generous, warm, caring spirit and soul. Since those many years ago in Chico, you have been one of my adopted brothers.
Love, Tera
