I just learned about James' passing and am devastated. I'd do anything to give him a hug right now. I remember him as a sweet, silly little boy. His laugh still resonates in my mind and heart, even after all these decades. Rest in peace, sweet little Jamie. I love you and I'll never forget you.

A month later and so sad still. A couple pictures of happier days to remember him by. He meant the world to me. Devastated over his passing.

My brother really knew how to light up a room with his beautiful smile. He was a very generous soul with a kind, genuine heart. Loved making people happy. He always meant well. An could go places and make people laugh and smile. With his jokes and complimentary generosity. He had the ability to do that with a complete stranger, who didn't even know him. And then boom they all of a sudden like him. Like they knew him. He was the best brother anyone could ever ask for. And BEST son to our mother. Best brother to our sisters. We all miss him immensely. Thank you Uncle Bill & Aunt Diana. And everyone else who cherished him. Family or friends. That wrote in his Guess Book, thanks ALL of you.
