Well, it has been almost 13 years since you, James passed.  His passing still haunts me.  I wish I could have done more to save him from his demons.  I failed at that.  However, hope streams eternally, and I believe that I will see him again in the after life.  I miss him every day.  But, that is what happens when a mother losses a child.  I have not been on this site for years.  But it makes me feel good that one other person that knew James made a comment fairly recently.  I just hope that others that knew James, continue to make comments.

What else that is sad...the two other people that commented here have passed, Carole and Yvette.  I miss them too.

And yea James....Karisa had another baby.  December 2020.  Olivia Jean Ann.  You would love her.  She is very active and fun.  We talk about you all the time and show pictures of you.  We miss you a lot.  And every now and then....you turn on the lights of the TV cabinet!!  Some times I will be just watching TV and those lights come on.  I know it is you!!  Love you and miss you.  

Mom

James <3 
Teresa & I just found out this heartbreaking news. We all had so many memories on Hayford Wy. We have both tried over the years to find you. I think the last time I saw you was when you worked at Nordstrom's & I used to bring along my baby every week or so too visit you.  You had a good listening ear when I needed that. Then I had to move out of the area to get my life back on track. I tried to find you to tell you but I never did. I'm so sad & sorry to hear this news. What happened? This photo I found a while back. My grad party. We had so much fun. You, me, Teresa & my crazy sister. My prayers go out to your loved ones. Till the next time we meet up James. Hugs friend. 

Yesterday it was four years since you left us and it still pains me to know that my beautiful children do not get to enjoy your love, your happiness your light. 
I love you Bubba

This about sums it up
Love you Bubba

James, I don't even know how to say what I am feeling right now. Talk about falling out of touch, I just heard about an hour ago that you have passed away. A year and a half late to do any good. You were my best friend growing up and someone I always looked up to. I've missed those days. Even the ones where we got into trouble (nearly all of them knowing us when we were together lol). I have missed you and will always remember you.

Don, Barbara, Karisa:I am so sorry to hear about this. A lot of my best childhood memories involved all of you.  Thank you for letting me grow up with your family.

James,
Christmas was so fun this year and mom thinks you were there messing with her :P. You probably were...lol. Miss you motts. love sissy

LLama retired! WHEW HOO! Wish you were here to Celebrate

Happy 33rd Birthday Bubba! We all love and miss you! Madison says, "Happy Birthday Yames"...lol

James,
It has been over a year since you were called home. Everything is still the same down here. Your mom is during OK but i think she still has that mask on. You know she is getting ready to retire. If you see my sister in law Zellena tell her i said Howdy Do!!

it been a year since u left. I still miss my friend and think about u daily. i think bout ur laugh and how we used to ride together holdin on for dear life( drove like a crazy man) . i think about our arguments and i will admit am still right bout most of them. then i think about how peaceful u were sleeping the last time i saw u maybe i should of woke u up......

Son I miss you. I will always love you. I think of you often. You are in a peaceful place.  l know your someome cause God don't make no junk ! This phrase hung in James room while he was young. Love you son.  Dad !

Morning James,
Today is the BIG game you probably want the 49ers to win, me too. I can imagine the smell of wings, chili, nachos up there because the smell is the same down here. I will have a cold one for you today you are missed. Oh yeah enjoy the commercials.

Happy Christmas brother, we all miss you and wish that you were here. The holidays just are not the same without you here. Thinking of you now and always...

I wanted to say Happy Christmas Eve! I miss you brother and I hope you will be watching over us tomorrow as well will ne thinking of you. Madison talks about you, I hope that means that you visit her often.

It was all so sudden. You never let on you weren't always feeling well and seem to have such energy! -- I thought for sure you'd go on forever. At least in my heart and mind you will. I will remember you - not for the many expectations and objectives of others you often glibly evaded - but for the totally unique set of abilities and adventures that made you memorable -- certainly one-of-a-kind, an adventure to be experienced, that road less traveled.

I will especially miss: the calls and late night conversations about so many subjects - saturday morning waffles - shopping for groceries at Winco through the years and our mutual love of Jello.

There no rational way to summarize what is or should be remembered about a person who has passed. Each person you touched carries their own unique set of memories and perceptions -- I can only say that you made my life better by being there and helping me see life as so much more. Joyful and thankful celebration of the gifts given - asking little in return - I wish you only Peace and Hope  until the end of days - and even then the dance goes on! ...

Happy Bornday James,
You might not be with us in body but you are in spirit. September 8, 2012 my sister-in-law Zellena was called home if you see her tell her HOWDY DO!!

Yvette

My friend you our in my thoughts daily. i miss you very much. Ab-day reminder pop up on my phone today . i remember a wonderful gift u gave me on my bday  two weeks before your passing . i will never forget it.

Having known and grown very close with James, there is nothing that can take the place of his wonderful person.  James will be remembered indefinitely.  I know he is in a much better place than what he left.  The powers that be must need him for much more important things that he could ever do here. Thanks for being my best friend and changing my life for the better.

So sorry to hear of the loss of James. I worked with him at Longs Drugs. He was a sweetheart and will truly be missed..

"May you now be at peace" lil brother you will always be in our hearts even though we only met a few times.......You are in a better place where you will forever be in JOY AND HAPPINESS with GOD

Barbara my prayers are with you and your family for God to continue to strengthen you always.

Barb,
My prayers too you and your family. Take one day at a time.

Yvette,

Barbara, Don and Karisa,

My heartfelt best wishes to you during this difficult time.

I feel so honored to have met each of you and to be with James while at Mercy General Hospital.

James is a very brave and wonderful young man and I will remember him always.

May he rest in peace in Gods loving hands!

To the family of James Anthony Edd:

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one.  May the God of all comfort help you during this most difficult time.
Cor. 1: 3, 4

Dear Barbara:  My heart goes out to you, Donald, and Karisa during this very difficult time.  I remember having a conversation with James when Wayne and I were at your house years ago.  He was so smart and articulate.  That's how I remember him.  May he rest in peace.
