It has taken me this long to express my feelings towards you. James I fell in love with you the first time I seen you at Bonanza. That was a crazy night and a huge greasy mess down the mall parking lot. The truth is my feelings towards you have never changed and I really hate myself for not trying harder but we were both young and scared. We have however passed by each other as the years went by but we were both living different life's and never the right time. I still have so much I want to tell you I did enjoy our talks right before all this happened. All the what ifs, and why not are eating at me day after day. I miss you dearly James Allen until death do us part. You and your family will always be deep in my heart. You truly are my first and will be my last true love. Until we meet again Always and forever..... Reba

Oh James....you will be truly missed. Us ladies at the smoke shop loved your sense of humor, your hunting stories and bear videos!!! When you found out that I had never eaten bear meat, you didn't miss a beat and brought some to me. Yes, it was delicious!!
We lost a good one and may you watch over us all.
Much love,

God bless the remaining family members. I went to school, with Gerld, dated Judith, knew MS Geraldine. It's hard to see the whole family gone.
We lived in Woodland heights in Harrison.
May the family rest in peace.
