We love you so much James! Shannon is doing a wonderful job raising your amazing son Wyatt… my grandson. We think of you all the time and are so grateful for our time with you in our lives. Jesus is coming, and I look forward to being with you again.
Hello Thomas Doolittle, I was with james that day and also was a driver in the convoy, as was he. As christ has showed us the perfect love in giving us himself, James showed me that day what that truly means in real life. God bless you sir! He is returning in our generation I hope! Coming on the Clouds! With James and all the Saints/Angels , this I pray! He will wipe away every tear, he is making all things new!
