Dear Joan and Family -- I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, James. I pray that God will comfort you during your time of bereavement. Warmest regards...Doris Jackson

To the Seldon family: I met James some eight years ago through my son Devon. I remember when I first moved here James, my son and I and some of their other buddies took me motorcycle riding behind the raceway. James became a part of our family. He would come over and work on the electricity, and by the time he was done he’d be ready to eat. I’m from up north but I cook like a southerner with a northern twist. James enjoyed my food and would eat as much as he liked. I would have the homemade food ready and lots of it because he was a big man. We would sit down and eat and I would fill his ears with inspirational stories. And he’d be listening and laughing with his deep baritone voice and that beautiful smile he had. James was an amazing person. A kind and respectable man that any mother would adore. I loved James as I love my own sons. The Seldon family is in my prayers I will truly miss him Elizabeth Morrison
