I loved having James as a friend. I am beside myself with the feelings I’m dealing with, since learning of the surrounding circumstances. I catch myself crying uncontrollably thinking about what our friendship used to be and yes the way he’d go around to make others laugh. The last time I saw or spoke to him was 2017, and James came over to give me a hug as he was leaving a birthday party.
Here we are enjoying each other’s company at the Heritage Day celebration downtown Easton, 2012 . https://www.facebook.com/A.Dilts.84/videos/10151102708870645/
I will never forget first meeting him in 1992, second grade. Joking around with each other to make each other laugh, going to visit him in the hospital after surgeries, then many years later when I had surgery in 2012 he returned the favor by coming to visit me. Life took us down separate paths and put distance between our friendship, but that still doesn’t take away memories and love. Fly high James and continue to look over all of us always. ðŸ˜

Its been 6 years, and the Pain of loosing you hadn’t wained. The earth shook and the rain poured relentlessly with your passing, you left a piece of you with everyone you touched, we all still feel the effects of it, earth hasn’t been the same since you left. I love you. #rideORdie <3
