Jan , I am so sorry for your loss, which I know is a big one. I only meet James a couple of times in my life time, but when I did see him he was with u, and you both seemed very happy. and I know he has been a part of life for many yrs. And its not gonna feel right w him not around. I know he would want u to be strong, and to go on no matter how hard it is. Linda Tamar Told me once that James was the best man you had ever been with. So that told me a little about James. And you knew too, even then, So I really hate to know you are going though this loss, I wish I could say something that could make it better, but the truth is there is nothing, I can wish you the best at this time. I am around and you know how contact me if there is anything I might could do to help don’t hesitate. my dearest sympathies.
