Cindy - I am really sorry for your loss. Every time I saw James at the Landmark, he was unfailingly cheerful and friendly. He always took the time to ask about my family and myself. I know that he will be missed by his family and those who were lucky enough to know him as a friend. I hope the memory of happy times spent together will help to ease some of your sorrow.
