Risa I just heard and my heart cries for you. You are forever in my prayers~~~

I was so shocked and sad to learn of his sudden passing. James and I worked together a short time at vector when he sold their products. I was a manager there, I was part of his hiring.  He was always so bright and added a funny, witty, and sometimes sarcastic tone to our meetings. May he RIP and keep God smiling and laughing up there like he did us.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss.  Your Family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Was so sorry to hear about your son. We don't always understand God's plan for us, but rest assured you will see him again someday and our time on earth is short compared to eternity. God bless you and Mike during this difficult time in your lives.

Risa, I am so sorry to hear about James. He will be missed and never forgotten. You and your family are in my thought and prayers.

I met James in high school. The first time I ever talked to him was when we passed in the hallway and he smiled and said hey. From that day on every time we saw each other we always would tell each other hey and he would give me a hug. James ALWAYS had a smile on his face. I can't even imagine him without a smile. He was always so energetic and optimistic. He will definitely be in our hearts forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
