James I am so sorry that I didn’t get to see you before it was close to you meeting your wife and son in heaven. Had I known when your funeral was I would have made every effort to attend. I can’t tell you in enough words how much you meant to me. You and Kay were wonderful god loving people that I had the pleasure to have a part of my family. Many good shared times together I will never forget. God Bless you both. I love and miss you more than you know.
love, Dena
James, I’m so sorry I didn’t get to see you before your final journey. You will be missed greatly. I miss and think about you and Kay all the time. At least you can be with Rick now. Give him my love. I would have come to your funeral service however I wasn’t informed of when it was scheduled. Thank you for being such an upstanding man to family and friends. Love you.
