Dear James family,



I think often of your family when I look back on my own youth and have fond memories of the times I spent with Tom at the house. I will always remember Mr James' great sense of humor and the way he took an interest in what was going on in our lives. I always felt welcomed and loved in your home and that stays with me to this day.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Dear June and Children,



Please know that you are in our hearts and our daily prayers. We were so blessed to have had Mr. James in our lives; you were both such an example to all of us of your powerful faith and love.

You can be confident that God will hold you close to Him during this difficult time. God bless you all.

All our love, Nancy, Brian and Teddy Sullivan
