"Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, or glory in the flower; we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains"... (W. Wordsworth)
Time will be our greatest friend and perhaps more than usual as James was an unusually unique person, the man extraordinaire.

Mark,
I can only imagine what you are going through.  Please know you are in my prayers, and may you find the peace that passes all understanding.  God bless you, my friend.

Me and my wife wish to convey our deepest sympathies to the familly of James. I have have worked James at Fort Benning for years and will miss him very much.

Dear Willie and Adleyn....I am so sad to read this news of James death. There are few that ever have to walk in your shoes, so not many know the magnitude of your pain and loss. I wish you and all your families both love and peace; and may all God's Angels be with you and James' soul now and forever.

Sincerely with much heartfelt sympathy,

Allen

His light will always shine thru his family and friends. His laugh and sense of humor will be missed.

May his light shine on thru all the lives that he touched.

Dear Lola and Geiger,  
    We can not express our sadness for your loss.  He was such a wonderful person, and had a great sense of humor. Lola, I know that he (I believe) was your soul mate, and I know he loved you very much.  G, I know when you born, he was as proud as a peacock.  He loved you very much.  I can not say that I know exactly how you feel, but I hope that during your sad times, you will remember the good times.  Doing this might help get you thru the rough times.  Please remember we love you, and are there for you if you need us.  

            Love, 
               Bill, Paige, & Kimberly

So sorry to hear of James passing. Thoughts and prayers to your family

I went to Evangel Temple with James in our younger years and he was such a great friend.  Always so much fun to be around.  I am so very sorry for your loss.  He will be missed greatly!  My prayers are with you and your family.

James was truly a kind and generous person. He always made me smile and was ready to try any crazy food adventure with his crazy co-worker.  I will miss seeing his face every day here at work. 
God has called James back to him and I take comfort in knowing that. 
I pray for peace and healing for you and your family.
Sincerely,
