I was so very sorry to hear of James's passing. A really lovely man, fun, kind, one of the best. Life seems so unjust sometimes, to take such a good person from his family. Thoughts with Nicky, Becky, Simon and family. Thinking of you all. Xx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to James. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
