HEY, Lil Buddy.. I'm at a loss for words.. just want to say.. I love you from the day you made it here on earth.. and will continue to love you u until I see you again in heaven.. Fly High and give everyone a big James size hug!!
I am so sorry to read about your loss, it is always difficult to lose a loved one, but it is especially tragic to lose them at such a young age. Please take comfort in knowing that death is only a temporary part of life. (John 5:28,29) Although your time with James was far too short, you can have the hope of being reunited with him forever, under perfect circumstances and with perfect health. (Revelation 21:4) In the meantime, even though the pain may at times seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure. (Psalm 94:17-19) Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences.
I know we only met the one time, but I am happy I got that that experience. You are one special guy. I love ya bud!

James,
You are such a blessing to so many people. So many of us got the chance to see a true fighter and someone who never took one second of life for granted. When Quinton told me about you, I immediately started praying for you and kept you in my prayers throughout the entire time, always asking him how you were doing. Jesus told us we don't understand what He is doing now but someday we will. I believe He truly needed you in Heaven. While Heaven is rejoicing, there are many broken souls down here who are hurting. I know you would never leave the sides of your loved ones but it never eases the pain of not being able to have you next to them. I have been praying for your entire family and friends and I just want to thank you for being such an amazing soul . You were a one of a kind person and I am very sad I never got the chance to meet you, though I know I will meet you in Heaven when my time comes! You fought so long and so hard, I am thankful to see you are completely out of pain and in the arms of God! Your faith is so inspiring and you encouraged so many. You truly will never be forgotten and I am so blessed to have even been able to watch and hear your story and who you were at heart. God sure blessed everyone down here by putting you in all of our lives and you will be missed so much. Especially your infectious smile and sense of gratitude that came out in your humble attitude. I am so very sad I never got the chance to give you a hug but I always asked God to hold you tight and have His presence hold you in the highest of places during your darkest trials. I prayed His love, healing, peace, comfort, and strength would take over in you and that you would be able to know and feel how much you are loved! You truly are an angel that was known here on Earth and will be one we can't wait to see in Heaven! You are now home, the home I pray I get to someday and in the arms of the One I long to be in! The place where everyone prays they will someday finally get to rest. I know you are happy but I can still feel that you are looking down wiping the tears of your family wanting to take their pain away also. It seemed you had the kind of heart that could comfort millions. That will be missed so much, you will be missed so much! God bless you, your family, and your friends! I can't wait to meet you someday James! You're such a blessing and are so special. I hope your family never stops feeling you love and your presence around them. I hope they find refuge, safety, and comfort in God knowing that you are right there with Him holding them through their deepest hurt and unbearable pain. We will never understand why but we have to trust that Jesus needed you for a very good reason that only you could help with! Heaven sure has gained an angel that will forever be watching over us! We miss and love you! I'm praying for everyone who is hurting. Seek God and there you will find James! Remember in your loneliest, darkest, and most painful nights that he is not a million miles away, he is right next to you talking to you and wiping your tears from your face, saying "I am here and I love you to this day"! He won't leave you though I know the pain is hard to carry. Your smiles got him through his hardest of days and he needed your strength to help carry him through. Never forget that you are so special to him and he is still with you!â¤ï¸
James you are flying high now, God will be with your family, may he lay his hands on their shoulders as they go through thru this very trying time. We lift them all up in pray.
Praying for strength for all
