Tributes
"To Cousin James, There were a million things I wanted to say to you. \"Goodbye\" was not one of them. Two willing hands are stilled. You had some challenges lately but now you\'re resting in God\'s will. You never said goodbye, perhaps it\'s just as well. We never could have said goodbye to one who was loved so well. Remember family, his spirit is in his heavenly home, but he lives within our thoughts, words and our hearts. Sending my love to all he loved."
