Bev, we just heard about James passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It just seems like yesterday that you lived up here next to us in Chipita Park. You were such great neighbors, and we've missed James smiling face and big laugh. We still refer to the house next door as "James's house". He is missed.
