Guest Book

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my classmate and friend. James was a truly special person and we shared so many memories at NNSH and UNC-Chapel Hill. Although, we had not been in contact for many years, I will always remember his kindness and great times we share throughout our school years in class and in the band. May God be with his family and love ones. Minister Debbie (Mann) Green--NNSH class of 1981.

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your dear son, JB, also affectionately known as Bunny. I know how much he meant to you. Even as a small kid, everyone loved Bunny. He was everyone's favorite. We all wanted him to come sit near us when we all gathered at your and Jimmy's home every night to prepare for a baseball game, to play monopoly or to just watch TV. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. With love and remembrance, we share in your sorrow. We are so sorry for your loss. Jesse Jones and family
