To the family, I offer my most heartfelt condolences and prayers 🙏🏽 in the passing of your love one. Once again, and always too soon another family member, friend, current neighbor, former North Nashville neighbor, co-worker, former schoolmate, and Pearl High Tiger has departed. That doesn't complete the association list, it's just a start. James was known by many and his presence will be greatly missed. I will miss being on the dance floor with him and our occasional talks about the good 'ole days. May prayer is that God draws near to comfort you, and that you be strengthened by the force of love from the presence of family and friends.
My condolences and prayers to the "Oglesby Family".
