Too soon gone
Many many prayers for everyone . Jimmy was a great guy, he was so funny .
You couldn’t ask for a better friend, James was a loving and caring person.
I only knew James briefly, but he was a wonderful man and treated my sister like a queen. Our hearts are broken. May you rest in peace James, and thank you for bringing such joy to my sisters life.
James never knew a stranger, I am so glad I got to know him here on earth, and I eagerly await when we will see you again.
