  13. My heart is so broken 💔. James was so funny, always laughing and telling jokes. He once said my hair didn’t turn grey it just turned loose. I will miss seeing him and talking to him. I talked to him Friday,he had left a message that said hey sissy it’s your brother give me a call I love you bye. I will cherish it. The memories are in the millions, too many to count and glad I have them. He had the best heart. Anyone he met was a friend and he lived by the golden rule.I know he has his legs back and is probably sitting on a river fishing with Mother, Daddy, Johnny and Steven. They all liked to fish. I look forward to the day we are all back together. What a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus!!! Fly high James I Love you!!!
