The last time I saw James was at Jimbo’s restaurant. Amanda Tillery was there and we all ate dinner together. I didn’t know James snuck behind our backs and paid for our supper. When I found out, I went and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. That is the sweet last memory I will always hold in my heart. Prayers for all the family in this trying time. I love you all !
