My greatest friend, companion.. This world is definitely less without you. We did everything together, and I cherished every moment. You are still in my heart and soul, that you will never leave my side still rings true, I still feel you next to me when that song comes on, or when I dream of you. It's hard to lose your best friend, but I know you'll be waiting to meet up again when I eventually get to your place.. And you'll know all the best places to have coffee and go riding I'm sure. Master of your domain, it's better to burn out than to fade away . I love you and think of you every day. Thank you for all you've given me and the kids. But you already knew how much you meant to us. :) - Posted by: Sid (Friend Til the end) on: Feb 13, 2014

I only knew James through my friend Mary, but everything I heard made me so glad that she had found someone who was so honest and caring. I'm sad that I did not have the chance to meet and talk to him. I hope and pray that his family and friends find peace in knowing that he's in a very good place and will be watching over them. - Posted by: Heidi Bichler-Harris (friend of a friend) on: Jan 07, 2014

James knows how I felt about him when he was alive and I've told him everything I have been able to think of these last few days, just to be extra sure nothing has been missed, but I don't have to fret. I KNOW our loved ones are always with us, it is us who are currently bound to the limits of the realm of this Earth. James is free to be everywhere and anywhere he wants to be now simultaneously. He is limitless and infinite. Enjoy the immense love and exquisite beauty of being home my friend, with love always. Hugs & Kisses (they were the Bestest) Through all we went through, you gave me the greatest gift I've needed my whole life. I learned self acceptance and self love. And to you, I give you my greatest heart felt Thank You in return. Thank you for loving me just as I am and teaching me so very much. It is especially good to know your soul is now free and is here with me and all of us left behind that you touched and shared yourself with. I also know you are enjoying being home again and reveling in the love and beauty and loved ones who have been waiting to receive you there. You've always been a busy guy...there's lots more to enjoy! You were a special and incredible man who worked tirelessly to be the best you could be and to work with what your journey here was all about. I give thanks for our crossing paths and I have no regrets. And, I promise to keep working hard on my journey until the good Lord calls me home too. xoxo - Posted by: Lisa Corine Chenier (Romantic Partner and Friend) on: Jan 06, 2014
