Davita, It has taken me a couple of weeks to finally be able to send you this note, I couldn't seem to find the words to express how sorry I was for your loss. I hope that in the coming weeks and months you and your family will find some comfort in knowing that so many people have you in their thoughts and prayers, Dawn

Dearest Kurt, Davita, Kristopher and Patrick,



I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. James was such a wonderful young man. I know how proud all of you are of him. For such a great family to have to go through something like this tears me apart. I greive with you for the loss of my brother Marine. I was so proud when he made that decision and knew he would do great things. I am still having trouble believing he is no longer here to the best of the best, as he truly was. I know he would have done so many more great things.

I wish there were something I could do to take away your pain, or at least ease the hurt somehow. I am here for all of you, anything you may need, even if it's just a shoulder to cry on. I love you all so much and am so very sorry. You are in prayers as always. God Bless.

Kurt and Davita,



I only met James in one or two passing moments and yet I partially knew him through the conversations Kurt and I had. Us dads commiserating over school performance issues, Scouting and parenting in general. As I attended the memorial at Purple Heart with my son David - who attended Cienega with James - I was simply amazed at the affection his friends and family had for him. He truly will be missed by everyone and I am saddened greatly for your loss. And of mine for not having really known him.

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you

his grace and peace. God’s Comfort to all



All praise to the God and Father, our Lord Jesus Christ.

He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us he comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give the same comfort God has given us. You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with comfort through Christ. So when we are weighed down with troubles, its for our benefit and salvation. For when God comforts us, it is so that we can patiently endure the same things, and be confident that as we share in suffering, we will also share in God’s Comfort.



Now is the time to open the eyes of your hearts, and hold on to the memories of Love Joy and Laughter.

May you always hold on to the memories of James and know that he is in a better place. For all who feel sorrow of losing a Loved one. I pray for the comfort of Our Lord to reach out and Hold you with much Love, for that feeling will be the source for all healing, and with my Deepest Sincerity

My Prayers are with you.

With much Love and Comfort.
