Linda I am so so sorry about James passing. He was one of a kind. I will never forget him. The way he made me feel at home when I was over there. His love for his garden and fishing with Carlos. His plants he put on the porch every spring. The BEST neighbor in the world. The way he loved Mary and DeWitt. I miss him so much already. He sure loved those babies and all his family and friends. I am praying for you and all the family. Love you Linda ❤️😢

Linda, sorry to learn about the passing of your husband. We will keep you and the family in prayer. And please remember, earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

Linda And family, we are so so sorry about Mr.James's passing. It just won't be the same to not hearing him talking on the phone while sitting on the porch. And also hearing him call out a"hey how y'all doing today", when we would be out in the yard working. And a friendly wave when we would be leaving out of the yard. And one more thing about James is that he loved his family. He would talk about his family in Georgia and his grandchildren and great grandbabies. He loved you all so much and we all know he loved you Linda. He was just so proud of his family. I know wife, family and friends will miss him so much. And we Our prayers and love are with you. You are great neighbors. Steve and Betty Lynn

To Linda and family: We are sorry for the loss of your dear love one. May the family somehow find comfort, understanding, and most of all peace and love during this difficult time. James will be missed by all who knew him. Callie & Susan Little & family
