So sorry to hear of Mrs. James passing. Known her almost my entire life! She will be missed.
My heart goes out to Mike, Tom, Dottie, Aileen, Bill and Judy. Still remember with great fondness all the wonderful card games of so long ago.
My deepest condolences to the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time.
Mrs.James will forever be my second Mom. So happy I had time to see her in Scottsdale w my mom. Memories of her and the James family will hold a special love for each and every one in this beautiful family. Judy, my prayers are with you. Your mom has blessed me w love and kindness all these years. Best of all she gave me you. Your friendship has meant the world to me.
Ruthie was always a special cousin to me. I am one of the Fisher’s. My mother Mary Fisher was your mom’s aunt. I always admired her. I used to babysit Michael, Tommy, and Dottie when they were little. Ruthie was my Confirmation sponser. My thoughts are with all of the James family at this time. May the happy memories you have of your Mother help you thru this difficult time. God bless and keep you all.
