James, I remember the first time I meet you, It was at gate C5 awaiting the arrival of a flight. You were serious, I was not. After that we became good friends and I always got a lot out of our time talking about whatever crossed our minds. Always good humor and some very good insight. I was always amazed at your intellect and thought highly of what you had to say. Needless to say I was shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. I thought immediately of your kids, but know you gave them good direction and they will always make you proud. I was bummed when you moved away but always thought we would meet again. I guess we will meet again eventually.

James, I still can't believe you're gone! I can honestly say that I have never had a friend like you. You were funny, understanding and never afraid to say it like it was. I will always remember the long talks we had after work at 3 a.m when I couldn't even get out of the car because my abs hurt so much from laughing :-) You were special to me. I know my mother only met you a few times, but when I told her about you she cried. She too remembers your sense of humor and kindness!
For your family.....I hope that together you can help each other through these tough times and remember all the good he did. He will be missed!
Jessie!

My dear brother, I finally have found some quite time to reflect. I miss you so very very much.
The one thing you asked me to do, I am doing, myself and Chico (Ramiro) are here for Christopher and Miranda. They are lost without you. Your children love you so much, I watched Miranda rubbing your right ear, as she spoke to you at the funeral home, she must have rubbed your ear for about half an hour. Christopher shut down, he could neither speak or talk to you, Chico consoled him.
You have done an excellent job raising your children. Christopher took care of Miranda while you were in the hospital and he took all the phone calls from the doctors and handled it all. You should be proud!
I don't know if I ever thank you for being there for me when my son passed away. Jimmy when I would call you unexpectedly crying, holding my breath, not able to tell you what was wrong, you knew. You would say "Annie it's all right, just cry, it's all going to be alright", Jimmy that has helped me to get through the toughest time in my life, and I Love You for that!
I l
loveYou my little brother!
Your sister,
Annie
I am awaiting the time when Jesus says:
John 5:28,29 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
I will be there waiting for you!

Loving father of two crazy kids to raise.Always joking around with people and family putting a smile on everyone's face and helping others in time.james wasn't always fit to help but he always did his best on other things like giving duckbites in the car.Those duckbites hurt but still if he was here I would still accept everyone one of those and just laugh afterwards just knowing he was kidding and playing around. love you and wish you the best and I will wait for your humor to put a smile back on everyone's face like you always did.
