Dear Carol Ann You and James B., together, is as much a part of my high school memories as Pep Squard and those jumpers, or the BIG M and a limeaid. Can't imagine how difficult his illness has been for you. You are wrapped in the arms of your classmates. Feel the hug! Take care, J Maisel

Carol,, We were so sorry to hear about James B., we have so many good memories of you two through the years. I wish we could be there with you but time and distance does not permit. Just know that we are thinking about you and your family and have you in our prayers. We just pray that God will give you comfort and peace during this time. James B. fought a good fight for a long time and is now at peace. I know you will miss him. Hopefully we will be in Big Spring sometime this summer and can visit with you. Love you and Hugs. Lana and Fred
Charles left a message on March 14, 2011:
I am so truly sorry to hear about James. I wish to give my sincerest condolences to the family and if I may, leave an encouraging scripture that I hope can help. At John 5:28,29 we are given the wonderful hope of the resurrection and the opportunity to see our dead loved ones and live together with them on Earth again under God's kingdom. If you ever need anything I would always be willing to help.
