Beverly James says
My brother,
As I sit here pondering what to write, tears begin to swell up in my eyes. All I can think of is why so soon? But I know God has a plan. My brother was truly a family man, and always put family first. We lived on the same block and I can still visualize him down the street cutting his lawn. This was one of his pride and joys, making sure his landscape was done right. I still remember our Dad too, sitting on our side porch after he had finished his yard. I guess he got it from him. He will be greatly missed, and I will carry him in my heart always. God must have needed a strong, hard working, compassionate angel in Heaven.
Rest in Heaven,
Your sister,
Beverly
