My sincere condolences to the James Byrd, Jr. family. Byrd and Vivian were my friends, my family for over sixty years. They were my son Derek's godparents. In fact, they claimed all four of my now adult children as their godchildren. We loved them dearly.

May they rest in peace, and may God comfort the family at this time. Mildred Geiger. Rialto, California
