My heart goes out to you. As a mother of a 15 year old myself, and former residents of MC, the news of a child losing his life broke my heart. I will always remember his story and am telling others to be very careful if they are ever in a disabled vehicle. Perhaps a life will be saved because of James story. Perhaps we will all value life more because of him. God calls his children home in His own timing. But He has us, His children, here to comfort those they leave behind. Please know that there are people who care about James' life and death, as well as how the family fares in his absence. God bless!

I give my sincere sympathies to his parents as they struggle with such an unfair loss. My daughter was in many classes with James and thought he was such a wonderful person. She always remembers him as her very 1st friend way back in pre-school. She said he was always nice to everyone. The kind of son his parents could be so proud of. He will be missed.
