I was so sorry to hear about James' accident. I remember him just as Jason Travis did..... fearless. He was alot younger than I am, but he use to come in to Cottons Store when i worked there years ago, he was a hoot back then and that sort of personality does not go away. His body may be gone, but his spirit will live on in each and everyone who ever knew him. My love and prayers go out to the family.
If I still lived in Carthage, I would sure have gone to the memorial that was held an hour ago for James. I knew him years ago when he used to come over to my home all the time to see my son Robby. He ALWAYS had a big smile on his face. He was so pleasant and very funny. I never saw him sad. He lived in my kitchen, and was always talking about his day. Even thou I never met his family in Beckville, I know he was happy there with them and ALL his friends. I knew a lot of his friends through my son. They were all very nice young men, and each of them also seemed to always have a smile, and seemed to enjoy life to the fullest.
Pearl (Brian), was like a son to me, and James was welcomed on the 21st of August with open arms from him. As I remember, both of them were very, very close. With both of them with our father in heaven, it will give some comfort for the rest of us that miss him/them very much.
Thank you very much for this blog, and all the information on James. I will pass along the memorial information and the address for the trust fund.
My heart goes out to James’ family and friends. – God Bless all of you.
Sincerely,
Debbie (Stafford) Harrison
