    It’s hard to believe you have gone home but I know you were ready. I will miss you so very much and wish you were here for my own selfish reasons.
    I know you are so happy being with grandma, grandpa, my mom and Aunt Johnnie. But know you have a very special place in my heart! I Love you????

    Willie Mae and Family,

    We will miss James, our wonderul neighbor of so many years. There are so many memories watching his many garage projects, polishing that truck, and hours of wonderfful driveway conversation. While we will miss him, we also rejoice that he is now free from these earthly pains and is safely in the arms of our heavenly father. May His special peace be with all of you during this difficult time. Bob & Emily

    Ms. Mae ~
    I’m sorry for this painful time for you and the family, and know how much you’re going to miss James. Grandpa Garland and my family send our love, and please remember we’re always right here for you. We love you, and will miss James.
    *My youngest, Avery, saw James’s photo just now and said, “He’s in Heaven!” Albeit sad, I thought perhaps you’d appreciate me sharing that with you. ❤

    With Love,
    Samantha and Hermann Cardenas and kids, and Garland Haskell
