Janelle and Family,
I just found out about James passing away in January. I'm so sorry for your loss. I went to school with James and remember Janelle and him together in middle school. I thought it was neat that they stayed together and married. James was so nice to me in school when others were not. I remember dancing and singing with him in show chior at Weeks. I'm saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

James lives in our hearts as such a kind soul. We wish that we could be closer to be there for services, but know that we are soooo close at heart. We have our "James Candle" lit and we are wearing our Hawkeye gear way down here in Georgia. He is loved by many and will not be forgotten. They say that the Lord works in myserious ways and that he takes the great ones early... we now know that this is true. You are with us always James... Go Hawks!!! Love, Tanya and James Rinehart

John and I will miss James tremendously. He was such a dear friend,Hawkeye and Soccer Buddy. We had so many good times.John always enjoyed talking to James about football and soccer.John always said that James was so easy to talk to, he could discuss anything with him. He was always so well informed. We will never forget him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Janelle and Morgan and Nick, who will miss their husband and Dad.James is now in heaven with his Dad, whom he adored. We are grieving about James passing but it helps to know that he is not suffering with diabetes any more. He is at peace and will be forever young!!!! Philomene and John Lancee XXXOOO
