Praying for the family I love yall keep your heads up
🌿 In Loving Memory of James McClain "Babyboy" 🌿 To Joyce, Sis, and the entire McClain family
When sorrow like a river flows, And questions rise that no one knows, Please feel the warmth of every prayer That lifts your name with tender care.
"Babyboy" So dearly known, Gone too soon, yet not alone. He walks now where the angels sing, In perfect peace beneath God's wing.
Though hearts are heavy, spirits cry, Love's light will never, ever die. His laughter, smile, and gentle soul Are etched in hearts, forever whole.
In this valley, you're not alone, You're wrapped in grace, in love well known. Joyce, Sis and family, hold on tight, God's strength will carry you through the night.
May memories bloom and tears give way To healing hope with each new day. And as you grieve, please always know, I walk with you, and love you so.
🕊️ With deepest sympathy and unceasing prayer, Rev. Patricia Redd (Pat Redd)

I want to offer my sincerest condolences to the family. James and I were stationed in Cherry Point, NC together and played on the base baseball team. He was a very good player and better person. I have not seen him since I got out in 1995, but have many fond memories. Rest in peace my man!
