James, I light a candle in honor of your life and this candle will be a shining light of your cool and caring demeanor. Memories of you are etched in my heart forever.Remembering our childhood taught me the love of a brother. You protected me from unsafe circumstances and you continued to protect as well as you could into adult life. We had a real sister/brotherly bond. I know I will miss you immensely. You are with our God now and living in a palace, one that He prepared for you. May your soul rest in peace. I love you,don't worry about me I am alright. M
