T'eddy and Dewayne I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was always a nice man and loved to laugh. I know it is hard to lose both parents so close together. Believe that they are together watching over the family.

About 64 years ago, James drove up to our house in Hodge and asked if my mother was home. I said, "Yes," and then I hollered, "Mother, James is here!" He didn't realize that I knew who he was! Of course, I knew who he was: he was one of my favorite relatives (Mother's first cousin). He and Faye visited their LA relatives and friends yearly, and they would park their vehicle in our driveway. Even when the boys were young, they would sleep in the camper. James remained very family-oriented all his life. I will never forget him and Faye. T'Eddy and Dwayne and family: celebrate James' reunion with Faye and his homegoing to be with the Lord. God will see you through this loss.
