Willene and family – I was so sorry to hear of James’ passing. I knew he was sick but did not know until after the funeral that he had passed – some of the family would’ve come if we had known. I lost my precious N.A. on 12/15/12 to cancer, so I know some of the pain you are going thru. I pray that God will give you strength for each day during this very difficult time.
