I work in the Wasker Law office and just want to offer my deepest sympathy to your family. James was a wonderful guy and I knew I always could count on him to help me with things such as fixing a jam in the copy machine, etc. He was so easy to work with and got along with everyone.
You have lost a great member of your family and he will be missed by so many people.
God apparently had bigger and better plans for James!
May God bless you and give you strength during these difficult days.

I got to know James through the people at Principal (Brenda Cheers, Linda O'Donnell to name a couple). Usually it was the outings we had every once in a while. He seemed so easy going... always quick with a retort... never backing down to a conversation. He clearly loved to hang with his friends. I am glad I had a chance to get know him though it was a short time. My sympathies are with all the family.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Know that you are not alone. God will be with you to comfort and soothe your hearts. Keep the words found in the Holy Scriptures close to your heart. John 5:28,29 assures us that our dear loved ones will be remembered and soon resurrected. And much comfort can be gained by reading the words found at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Soon sorrow and death will be gone forever and God will reunite us with our loved ones. What a wonderful promise to keep before you. May you soon find much comfort and peace.
