As I sit here working I think of all the times we would talk on the phone and laugh and joke and tell story's about the days we had had and I miss picking up the phone and hearing you call me "sports fan". I think about you often and miss you but I know your up there on your bike and happy watching over us all and probably shaking your head at some of the shenanigans we have had but know I love you and will talk to you again Love Shawn

Missing you Gramps and our late night chats. You truly were an inspiration as to what's possible.

On this day, February 2, 2016, James will have been living in Heaven for exactly 11 months.  I feel strong enough now to talk about my beloved James, and to share some stories about our amazing lives together  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.


When my husband, James Strickland, died, his soul went straight to Heaven.  And remember how James told jokes all the time?  I know exactly what that boy is doing, James is telling jokes to all the other angels  there is laughter in Heaven!  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.

James Strickland was the real deal, the whole package.  In his tuxedo, he was James Bond.  In his flight suit, he was Rambo.  When he was home with me he was a loyal and faithful husband, tender and affectionate  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.

My heart is so filled with love for my beloved husband, James, and that brings me so much solace.  Everything good in my life came from my Grandma Ruby and my husband, James  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.

The night before my James died, I was in his hospital room, hugging him and kissing him.  He kept saying over and over, I love you Laura, I love you Laura, I love you Laura.  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.

I was married to James Strickland for 42 years.  He was an amazing man, and a devoted husband.  As much as I grieve and miss him, I had 42 years with a great man  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.

James brought love and laughter into my life every day for 42 years.  We were like newlyweds all the way through until the end.  He fought for his life up until his last breaths because he wanted to be with me  His wife and war widow, Mrs. Laura Strickland (904) 609-6945.
