It has been 5 1/2 years since God brought you home. I cannot begin to tell you how much I miss you. The years just seems to fly on by. I have had a few medical issues but nothing that is major. I am just dealing with getting older and learning to live with the aches and pains. Since Bitsey joined you and Peaches, I thought my heart would explode. She was all I had once both you and Peaches left me. Losing her totally devastated me. I loved her so much, she was my little princess and we were so close. I felt so lost with all of you gone from my life. I do have a new family member, and while she is not Bitsey or Peaches, she is a little firecracker. Her name is Bella, a beautiful kitten I got when she was just 6 1/2 weeks old. She just celebrated her 1 year birthday in September. I call her my little Diva, because like me, she has attitude. She has been a godsend to me and I no longer feel so lost. I have not had any visits from you other than the two I told you about. I think of you everyday baby. There is no one in my life except for my good friend Gaylon. We talk a lot and he helps keep me sane. Nothing romantic just good good friends who love and care for each other. No one will ever replace you in my heart and I know I will never marry again. I went and saw my son Corey in California. Such a handsome man and really has his stuff together. Am very proud of him. We communicate by text and are getting to know each other. This is what brings me so much happiness these days. Keep my seat warm baby and give my babies hugs and kisses from me. I love you James and always will

My dearest James,
I am writing this now because come tomorrow, marks 4 years since you left this earth. A lot has happened and I'm sure you have been reunited with those friends that followed you home. I am sure you are taking good care of our sweet babies and loving on them. It's very lonely without all of you here, but, at least the 3 of you are together. I have experienced your presence here twice!!! The last one scared me to death, so next time, if there is a next time, don't be as noisy and scary as you were!! I have shared your visits with others as well. I miss you baby, more than you will ever know. Life goes on, and I am taking each day as it comes. No one special in my life because no one will ever take your place on earth or in my heart. Watch over me sweetheart and help me make good decisions. I love you

It has been almost 2 1/2 years since I last held you in my arms and said I love you. I told you it was ok to go, that I would be fine. It was not ok , but you needed to be free of that cancer and in God's kingdom. I miss you everyday sweetheart and am trying my best to move on. It's so hard without you. Give my little Peaches a big hug and kiss for me as I know she is by your side. Bitsey and I miss her so much. We lost your bud, Bob in February but know he is there looking for you. I hope you two find eachother and are laughing about old times. Sad to say but your friend Rulon is not doing well and will be joining you in the near future. Cancer is a terrible disease. Always remember, I loved you with my whole existence. Until we meet again my love, keep watching over me and your little Bitsey Boo

My dearest James, One year has come and gone since God brought you home. They say that time heals a broken heart, but my heart still aches for you and it does not heal. This past year has been the most difficult part of my existence and time has not begun to heal my loss of you. I spent over half my life with you and moving on is such a struggle. I know you are at peace and pain free and for that I am happy, learning to live without you though is another story. I miss you so much, it cant be explained in words. I have your picture at my desk and talk and smile at you through out the days. In some small way it brings me comfort knowing you are near to me. I love you James and I miss you. Until we meet again sweetheart, keep my seat next to you warm.

Good Morning Sweetheart, today marks 5 months since you left me. I am happy to report the sprinkler system is in and working like a charm. I on the other hand wonder when this pain in my heart will go away. Bitsey Boo is doing good, she misses you and Peaches but gets double the attention now from me. I am trying to move on with life as we discussed, and while it has been hard, I am moving on. There will never be another you in my life, but there will be someone that will make me smile. I miss you James and wish you could come home, but that is wishful thinking on my part. Until next time, I am sending you all my love. Never ever doubt how much I loved you while you were here on earth and how much I still love you up in God's kingdom.

Hello Sweetheart.... I can't say time eases my pain but time is moving swiftly and I am staying busy. I hope you and Peaches are loving on each other and missing me and Bitsey Boo. It broke my heart when it was time for her to join you. Too much death has crossed my path since November. I am existing and moving on with life. I miss you so much James, it just tares me apart sometimes. Sprinkler system is in the process of being installed. Erv has been overseeing their work!! Am so disappointed more people did not write you a tribute. It's all ok though, it doesn't really matter to you, but it did to me. Ok off my soap box. Know I love you and think of you each and every day. You will always be on my mind each and every day. Until we meet again......

Today marks 2 months since God brought you home. I cant say it has been easy but I am finding comfort in knowing you are pain free, happy and with your family and friends that left us all to soon. Life isn't the same without you, but I am learning to live without you. No one said it would be easy no matter how long I prepared for this. I love you sweetheart and miss you terribly

It has been one month today that you left me, Peaches, and Bitsey. While its been a long month, I have tried the best I could to get on with my life, as you and I discussed months before your passing. It is hard and at times frustrating and the girls have finally figured out Daddy is not coming home. Today, I learned of another death and all my emotions took over and I had to come home. I am starting some counseling this afternoon to help me with this as I cannot do this alone. I miss you so much James, and my only happy place is knowing you are pain free. Until we meet again, keep your heart open to how much I loved you, took care of you, and wished you were still here. I will love you always sweetheart.

Good Morning Baby, yesterday I brought you home for good and have a special place picked out so you can see me and the girls at all angles and let us feel your love. You watched me last night as I took down the Christmas tree and the lights you loved so much, and while it brought tears to my eyes, it was because you loved Christmas so much. You will always be a part of me and until we meet again, hold me close and know I loved you with every beat of my heart. I love you James

Jim,
What fun we had in high school. You were friends with everyone you met and had a smile to match. You will be missed by your fellow Wildcats and Saxon brothers. Thank you for being my friend all these years.
Deborah,
You made Jim so happy and I know your heart is broken but know that Jim watches over you and always will until you are with him again. I send prayers from my heart to you both.
My Best,
Diana Rhodes Fisch OHS '66

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved James & how much he loved you! I am in awe of how you dedicated your life to him and his care. You are a strong, loyal, loving wife who will be reunited with James when the time comes. Until then, he will be your guardian angel as you take care of your babies and protect his memory! Love you!

Dearest Deborah we are so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. At Oakland High School we girls thought he was the cat's meow! When he smiled & said hello we thought he was talking directly to us. When he came into the school cafeteria we just about fainted with joy. Everyone loved Jim & enjoyed being around him with his loving smile & his kind ways. Even our teachers enjoyed Jim as their student. I pray for God's comfort to you during this difficult time. God bless & my love, thoughts & prayers to you, Jim's family & friends. Oakland High School Wildcats & Saxon's rule forever!

Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss. James is in a better place, free of pain and sickness but that doesn't make his absence any easier for those he left behind. I have a lot of memories of James since we lived next door for so long. He was always so kind, thoughful and willing to help. I remember when Charlie was in California and the snow kept piling up, James would see me shoveling and come snowblow me out when he was done with your house. I also remember the delicious fish you guys would send over after one of his fishing trips! The last memory I have of James was saying goodbye when we moved away. He was sitting on the step out front, we talked for a while, then hugged our goodbyes. He was a great man and was so lucky to have a wonderful, caring woman by his side for so many years! Big hugs to you and love to the furry ones - love and miss you!

I went to high school with Jim and he was a good friend. With others, we cut school several times, hung out, were in school clubs together and had fun. Jim was an important part of my Oakland High School years. I still have a birthday card he gave me once! He was well loved by everyone and a kind and generous person. He and his wonderful wife, Deborah came to Las Vegas a few years ago and we got to have dinner together. I am so thankful for that time together. Jim will be so missed, but he will never be forgotten. We will always remember you Jim - you will always be an OHS Wildcat and a Saxon forever! We will be here for Deborah!

Good morning Sweetheart, while I was not able to say everything in the paper, it was hard enough to write what I did. You were my life and light and while we had some bumps in the road, we made it 36 years and always said we if we stuck it out together, we would make it. I miss you so much but also know you are in a peaceful place. I love you baby, always have and always will. Your little fur babies also miss you, but all 3 of us had a good night sleep last night. The first good night sleep I have had since you left me. Until we meet again, and we will, know your love remains locked inside my heart forever. There will never be another you, you were one of a kind. I love you James, Deborah xoxoxoxox
