James, you will always be a son to me and you will be greatly missed by everyone who you touched. You had a hard path these last few years but you are now in a place where you can enjoy all those things you loved to do. It was my pleasure to have you live in our home so we can get to know the true you before your health turned. We will always miss you and pray for you.

James, My heart is so broken, and you will be so incredibly missed, but I know you’re finally able to do the things you were missing out on. Since the day we met, you always kept us between us and by doing so you’ve left me with something so special to cherish. No one will ever know you like I do. Even if we weren’t always together, our bond always remained. I will always love you, handsome, always.
