I'm thinking about and praying for your family. I never REALLY knew James, but feel like I knew him very well. Working with Darlene for almost 19 years, I've gotten to know each of her family members pretty well. I know that God will help you be strong, just let him in. I'm sure that James will be missed. You are a good friend, Darlene. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
