Dear James,
The years have come and gone, and we drifted apart.
But, now I realize you were always loved deep in my heart.
My heart is broken for all the words left unspoken.
You may not hear me now, but I only hope you knew,
I never stoped loving you.
To all those who loved him, children, brother and friends, may God
be with you and hold your hands.
