Mr. James I only got the honor of knowing you through your daughter Cassandra (San) She was my husbands caregiver for 3 years and became like family to us. I haven't had the chance to meet your other children. But I do know that she loved you so very much she and I would laugh about you and my husband liked to be spoiled. And we did because we wanted to not because we had to. Rest with our heavenly father and watch over your children. Margarette Woodard
