Dear James: It has been a year since you left us. Greg and I miss you more and more each day. Things have been busy on the other side. Grandpa crossed over in April, boy do I miss him too. Uncle Gus crossed in May and last Auntie Anne joined you all last week. It has been tough and I guess you were there when Smokey walked that Rainbow Bridge. I found this Letter from God and tweeked a little but it is my true expression of the love you gave.
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine" God said -
For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years or thirty two or three but will you,
till I call him back, take care of him for me.
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and,
should his stay be brief,
you'll have his nicest memories as solace for his grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return but,
there are lessons taught below, I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over,
in my search for teachers true,
And from the things that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love,
nor think the labor vain,
nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,"
Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done"
for all the joys thy child will bring the risk of grief I'll run.
I'll shelter him with tenderness,
I'll love him while I may,
and for the happiness I've known forever grateful stay.
But, should thy Angels call for him much sooner than I planned,
I'll brave the grief that comes with such and try to understand.

I remember about a year ago or more, we went to a barbecue at Uncle Joey's house. Eddie and I had gotten to the bbq in the evening and it was pretty dark out. We had to cross over a little bridge, and James came to greet us with a flashlight to help guide us safely to the house. James, may you be guided by God's loving light to heaven. Peace and love be with you always. We will miss you. Love, Lori and Eddie.

I have so many memories of you that I will cherish forever. You were my best friend growing up and probably my only friend I never had a fight or argument with. You always new how to make me laugh and smile even when I was down. Unfortunately after you graduated, we went our separate ways but yet every time we ran into each other, you always had a big hug for me. No matter how much time has passed, I hope you know I have always thought about you and consider you like a brother. Just a couple weeks ago I was telling Jenkins to bring you by the restaurant so we could catch up. Wow how I wish that could of happened. Hopefully one day we will meet again on the other side so I can get my hug and we can joke around like old times. Love you bro.

You know how much I love you and thank God we had the opportunity to tell each other over the past weeks. May you fly high in the heavens above us and keep your guarding spirit over Renee, Greg and me. I love you so much James . MA

This upcoming January 7th will be two years since I took a trip to California and ended up staying. Though he didn't know it at the time, James was the last friend I saw in NJ before I left for the airport.
I hadn't told anyone of my trip, it was a strange time in my life, but I had packed a bag and said I was going to see a friend. James asked if I wanted a ride, and I told him no several times before caving in. I told him I was waiting for a friend to get off work and I he could drop me at Dunkin Donuts and I would be fine. But James wouldn't leave.
I don't remember what we ordered, but we talked a little about everything. James like to talk and he was good at it. I think I almost told him about my secret trip 30 times, but I also felt like he already knew. He eventually left to go home, but not before giving me a hug and telling me, "I love you, man. You're like a little brother to me, be safe," or something of the sort. He may have hid the hurt, but James didn't believe in hiding love. I try to be sensitive and open-minded, but he was always very natural with his affection. We should all be a bit more free with our hugs and not too afraid to tell people we love them. I miss you, James, and I love you too.

I will never forget you James you made the day not borring soo many times.

I'm not sure if this is a "story", but I think everyone who knows James can agree with this sentiment . . .
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
James was one of those rare people that was truly happy for, and proud of, others in his life - he could be a complete goofball one moment and then utterly serious the next, but he always wanted the best for his friends and family.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
Life is often erratic and unforgiving, and we can easily forget how cynical and hardened life can make us. Some of the best parts of the human experience are being able to love without restrictions, to give without thinking of the consequences and to act completely in the moment. It is during these actions that we are often the happiest, healthiest and most at peace, as well as the most vulnerable and human.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
James was imperfect, just as all of us human beings are. But let's not forget that the world is imperfect too, and it is a cruel irony that some of the things that make us happiest, and the actions that allow us to provide others true joy, are often the same things that this world punishes harshly.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
So while the cold hand of Reality may try to force us to lose our free spirit and unbridled enthusiasm and hope in the name of supposed progress and alleged wisdom, I challenge Reality and propose that the world sorely needs those like James to remind us that life is not simply a calculated, future-focused project, rather it is something to live to its fullest each day.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
James truly did have an inner light that was unique and uplifting to be around. James' did not have an easy life by any measure, and battle wounds inflicted early in life perhaps cut him much deeper than James ever allowed us to know. Evil is real force we face in life, and James' disposition and sweet and well-meaning demeanor perhaps was something that Evil simply would not allow to continue.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
James was a warrior in an epic struggle between good and evil, and mankind is not equipped to win every fight, but perhaps James' efforts have brought mankind closer to winning the battle. We are meant to learn from him and remember him for both his best and worst moments, as with any moment in James' life he had the best intentions and desires for his friends and family.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
While James' time bound to the unyielding and often unfair bonds of this Earth was shorter than we may have expected, he touched many hearts and helped many poor souls in the time he spent with us. He was truly loved by many, and was a friend to everyone he met. He gave his time and treasure to others, even those who many would deem unworthy, without question. And although he stumbled somewhat at the end of his journey as a human being, imperfect as we all are, he always had perfect intentions in his heart.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
Let's all remember James fondly always, and live as he would have wanted - remembering his smile, laughter and readily-flowing humor and compassion, and not allowing his passing to bring us more than fleeting sorrow. Keep him in your hearts and minds where he can live forever as a twinkle in your eye or a skip in your step, and honor his life by helping others and cherishing your loved ones.

I first off want to send my deepest condolences to Mrs. Storey, Greg, and Renee. James was more like a brother to me than just a friend. His smile and laughter were infectious. I knew I could count on him for a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on. I tried my best to return these favors to him. His love for his friends was probably the thing I found most admirable about him. I'm probably just rambling now but I'll close with this. When James would shake my hand with those big paws of his, give me a big ole bear hug, and say "I love you bro" I knew he meant it. I love him too. See you on the other side James.
