Bambi, Bill, and Zach,
       I miss Chelsea everyday I walk into Cub Foods.  She was one of my closest friends and my co worker.  When our days were hard at work, we would make the best of it; when we were working together.  We would share our hopes, secrets, dreams, and fears.  She always make me laugh, smile, and happy no matter what.  My heart breaks thinking about her and your family

RIP Chelsea, you were taken to soon. Praying for your family!
My condolences to Zach as he was in my class.

“Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the soft refreshing rain.
When you awake in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.”

I had the pleasure of meeting Chelsea several times over the recent years.  I was extremely saddened to hear of her sudden passing.  My thoughts are with you during this time.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My heart and prayers go out to the James and Roberts Families.

Bill, Bambi and Zach, you've been in my prayers. This is a terrible loss to all that knew her. I can only say that time will help the pain you feel now. She will forever be in your heart with the memories you'll carry with you. 
God Bless

Bambi, Bill and Zach, 
I am so sorry for your loss.  I know that while the hearts are breaking here on earth the Heavens are rejoicing while receiving this beautiful Angel. Love you Ruth

My thoughts and prayers go out to the James Family. R.I.P Chelsea James.

I really can not believe this. My thoughts go out to her family

My second family,
I don't know what I would do without you guys. Honestly I don't even know where I'd be without you either! Just the other day my mother and I were discussing the movies night with Chelsea as you know. Seems like yesterday I met her and we were instant best friends. I still can't wrap my head around anything of this. I just remember the good times we all shared, as we talked about last night when we came over. Chelsea was a good person, friend, sister, daughter, and relative to everyone else in her family. I can't wait to see you guys again and I will be over as much as possible! We love all of you and you are always in our prayers! Anything you need please do NOT hesitate to call! I have a photo I wanted to share with you on here. Thought it might bring a smile to your face to know how much she means to everyone! 

We love you as if you are our own family!

Love Chris and Alex

We look back on life and all we have done, The day we were born our tears begun
Tears of laughter, tears of pain, tears of strength and being afraid
Tears of love, tears for no reason and tears brought from sunlight of a brand new season
A life has gone much too young, a card left unsent, a song left unsung
We know she's in a better place with God in Heaven and all Gods grace
No anger, no sadness, no worries, no fears, but for Chelsea, just Chelsea, we shed new tears.
RIP Chelsea Lynne James
You will be missed.

Bambi and Family,
My heart goes out to you all for the loss you are suffering. Chelsea was such a wonderful girl and will be missed by all. I am so very sorry....

We live in the neighborhood across the road from where Chelsea's accident occurred and I was so saddened to hear that she passed away. My neighbor is a pastor and, upon hearing the accident, she and her husband ran immediately across the road and prayed over the car. From reading over other comments, it sounds like Chelsea was a very wonderful person and God must have needed her home that night.  I pray that you'll find peace over the upcoming weeks and months.

I had the pleasure of working with Chelsea . I have know your for a while, You was loved by all that knew you and I am truely sorry Babmi and bill for your terrible loss. I will always remember her smile and her laugh . You will all be in my  thoughts and prayers and You have a Angel watching over you.

Bambi and family-

Bill, Bambi, Zach-
  I am at lost of words. Chelsea was and amazing person. Working with her at the salon and creating an unforgettable friendship that we shared makes this mind blowing. No matter my mood or what was on my mind, even when i moved away i could always count on Chelsea to make me smile and make all my worries disappear. She was there for me to vent when i needed someone.It was a pleasure knowing her. The great man above has been gifted with an amazing young woman, she is now in a better place. Your family will forever be in my family's thoughts and prayers. Love and miss you dearly Chelsea you may be gone but your heart lives on in those you have touched. You will never be forgotten :(

Bill, Bambi and Zach ,  
I was so fortunate to meet Chelsa when she started at Cub . She said very proudly my mom is Bambi James and of course I knew who she was. She was such a joy to be around ,always smiling and kind. I do not know how it feels to lose a child but know that you have lots of prayers going up for you .May God wrap his arms around you and give you strength in the days to come.
Love and prayers ,

Bill, Bambi, Zach,
  Chelsea was one of the most beautiful people I know. The sun shone through her smile, and the stars twinkled in her eyes.  My son loved her more than words can say and we did too. No words are befitting to express the loss your family feels.

Bill, Bambi and Zach-
     Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.  I still remember the first time Bill brought Chelsea into the salon almost 6 years ago. The obvious closeness that your family has always shared is to be envied. I feel like I watched her grow up and feel privelaged to have seen her go through all the trials of highschool to become the beautiful young woman that she was. She handled hurdles in life with grace. She was always a ray of sunshine and had a big smile on her face everytime we saw her and we all enjoyed talking with her when she came in. She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her. You are all in my constant thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Chelsea, it was a pleasure knowing you. It's so sad to hear about you and Keith, and it sucks that I've known you both for years. It hurts to know we've lost such a wonderful person, but we all know you're in a better place.

Chelsea i will miss you so much. We grew up together and were the best of friends! the memories of our childhood will be with me forever. I love and miss you!

Bill, Bambi and Zach,
No words can console you, but I hope that knowing that you have people who love you and are here for you will bring you some comfort.  Heaven has been blessed with one very special angel, and I feel blessed to have known Chelsea for so many years and to have enjoyed the light she brought into this world.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Meg
