To James, my love and my life, you changed me in so many ways. I will always love and miss you. You use to tell me not to pay attention to what your family would say or do because they could not stand to see us happy and to achieve what we did in the short time we had together. They never knew me like you did. The people that REALLY know me and knew you know all of what they're saying is not true. They only wish they had what we had. Please know I will always be with you!! Love Always, Tammy XOXOXO

Dear Tammy,
We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of James. He was such a dear man. I will miss the times we spent in Wal-mart late at night just standing around talking. Even those times when he just had that look like ya'll done yet. I still think about all those times we talked about having a cookout and he said "Ah,you won't come all the way out there". I am so very sorry that we never got that chance. Always remember the good times you two spent together. Call me whenever you need to just talk. I pray that each day will get easier for you to handle. Just know that he will always be in your heart. Take care girl. Love ya my dear friend.

Hi My Love -
I so wish I could be there for your service. We both know that I should stay in Florida, so I will go to the lake and have my own service for you. I miss your voice-your smile-your contaigous laugh and our long talks. I will meet you in Heaven when God is ready for me. Your tender heart was so precious to me. I still will keep your pictures on my car dash. You always laughed at me for that. I will see your face every day and talk to you every day. I guess I will send Runt your Christmas present. After all, you picked it out. It can be a good-bye present to him from you. I know he will love it. I love you Jimmy. We never said good-bye to each other.We always said "later", so. . . . Later, my love!
Love, Debbie
