My Dad, my friend
Condolence: James, you will always remain in my heart and mind as one of the coolest people I've met and you just "happen" to be family! You were always laughing, joking, playing your little puzzle games, letting me hang out with you when you visit friends, family and all the cookout, fish frys, Dinner parties, Luncheons or just hanging out with Charlie, Bobby, Cookie, Gaither or one of your brothers from The Church or The Lodge. I remember as a child, helping you set up and then play with your Lionel trains and all the rides in your Barracuda; laying in the back with the glass top. When you and Connie bought me my first 5-speed bike and you took all day to teach me how to ride. I remember all the cookouts at Janet's house, you and Connie coming to Marcella's for one of her many events and all the social events at the Lodge and at Bethel. The scuba-diving lessons at the Community Pool and all the aqua events. There are so many memories that I will always revisit when I see your picture or one of your beautiful drawings or paintings, listen to one of those great mixed tapes that Billy made, the smell of tobacco from a pipe and every time I see Connie. You have truly made a positive impact in not only my life but my siblings lives as well. Rest In Peace Jaime, I will always love you. Your loving God-daughter,
