To the family and friends of James Watts, please accept my condolence. As a Minister, I wanted to share a message of hope found in the Bible at Acts 24:15, where we find God’s promise "there will be a resurrection". This will happen when God's Kingdom rules this earth as it does in heaven. (Matthew 6:10) As you reminisce about the good times you had with James, continue to pray for God's Kingdom to Come where you will then be able to hug James forever.
