James had a very kind heart and was there for me as a good friend when I needed him. He will be remembered 😢 💔
What can I say? I don’t know where to start especially without crying and deeply deeply gonna be missing you. I love the bond that we had the bond that I will still hold how you loved me as I .you taught me different things in life thank you. You and aunt Noel helped me out a lot. I learned different things from both of you. You helped me with my mom. Cody, always loved coming over and you teaching him and telling him family stories or about life, learning different dishes from Noel and you. I don’t know when we’re gonna make that pork that we got on our last shopping trip. I don’t think I can bring myself to cook it yet until we meet again. I love you with all my heart.
James (we called him Bunny during our childhood) was my cousin as his mother was my Great Aunt Louise. We spent time together at the Shore as our families gathered together. We hadn’t kept in touch as miles and years tend to do. Prayers of comfort and peace to all.
I was always amazed about his views on things. We would talk for hours with respect even though our views were different. Loved the way he could make me laugh and then have his own big laugh after.
