I am so deeply saddened to learn of the un-fillable void your leaving creates here on earth.
My first crush from age 5, my good friend for 50 more. There is no other, like you. Rest in peace, you beautiful man.
I pray that Gods strength and comfort be multiplied today, and always, for the loves you leave behind.

We often lose touch with our friends. I was very saddened by the tragic loss of a fellow black belt and band member from years ago. James was one of the strongest friends I know and I knew he would be there for me if I needed him but we often are satisfied with seeing their posts on FB.
I wish I had reached out and taken him and his wife to dinner or just coffee.
We should all consider making contact with our old friends to avoid the heartache we feel when our time with them is cut short.
Our prayers will be with his family.
