Scarlett and Jordan,
I am so sorry for your loss. James fought hard during his illness. During our years at Forbush, I remember his smile and sense of humor. My father, Tommy Perkins, thought a lot of him and enjoyed the times they worked together. He was very sad when he called to tell me of his passing. My hope is that you will find peace and comfort from your friends and loved ones as they surround you with love, prayer and compassion during the difficult days ahead.

Scarlett & Jordan,
James will be greatly missed. I will miss the texts, calls and stories from James. He was always telling me about how proud he was of the things that Jordan had done. He even gave me a picture of you (Jordan) and made sure that I put it on my desk. Scarlett, he would always tell me about how much you meant to him and that you were the light of his life. James made a mark everywhere that he went and now he is a healthy man in heaven watching over his family and friends. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything please let me know.

Our hearts are heavy with thoughts of your departed. It is comforting to know where and whom he is with. Our prayer for you and Jordan is that you will receive unusual grace from our loving heavenly Father during this difficult time and in the days ahead. The memory of the just is blessed and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord...may you draw comfort and strenghth from the precious word of God. (2Cor.5:8,Prov.10:7)
We love ya'll very much!
