Shirley;
Working with James all these years has been a joy. We all grew up together at Baldor.
When we talked about family you were always Mama the one who could take care of everything. Boy did he love those girls. He had confidence in thme when you were ill and he depended on them.
You were family and he let us all know you were his. I've worked with many men out there but James was different. He wanted to be a friend and was to so many. You and the girls can hold your heads high and wake with a smile knowing he belonged to you.
I'll will never forget James and I'm thankful to have know him. Take care of yourself, keep your health up and enjoy those sweet grandchildren.
God be with!
