Sending prayers and love to the family. We are so sorry to hear this.💜
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY PRAYING FOR YOU ALL
Gerald, I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers for you and the family.
Meme, we are so sad for our entire family’s loss! What an amazing man Uncle James was. He was so in love with his family. I never knew of anyone that loved being in the yard doing the grass or working on his mowers or working on the garden more than him. He loved to joke with us and tell crazy stories. I know he, Lisa and Annette are reunited and in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Prayers of comfort and condolences to you and Gerald. We are all here for you.
Gerald, sorry to hear of the loss of James. It took me a moment to realize that he was known also as Mitchell who I knew. Praying for you and your family.

Meme, I just heard of your loss and am so very sorry to hear it. You are in my prayers.
Mildred, I am so sorry to learn of James’s death. This morning I was thinking of you two and how you took care of my childhood home for my Mama after she could no longer care for the lawn herself. She loved you both and I am so happy that you later bought the property and made it beautifully your own. Prayers and sympathy to you.
Mildred I am so sorry to hear the news of James . I will keep you in my prayer

MeMe we are so sorry about the loss of James. There are so many good memories to share. James with a cigarette behind his ear always. A collector of lawn mowers so he could work on them and then use them for years. He loved cars but especially his Nova and his truck he had just redone. He had an infectious laugh and whenever he laughed you couldn’t help but to start laughing yourself. His Biggest LOVE’S were Annette, Lisa, and of COURSE YOU MeMe! You took such good care of James and were such a Blessing to him. We know he is in heaven with his family and friends and he’s no longer in pain. He will be your guardian angel and now watch over you! We love you Bunches Janice and John
With James passing I know this has been a trying time for you. James was a special person and so cute in his own way. One thing I can say you took good care of him and he knew you loved him and would always there for him. He loved you so much. I know when Donald and I would come to visit he could never get a word in with all of us talking. My thoughts and prayers are always with you. Pookie, Lisa and Annette are watching over you. We love you very much.
