    Dearest Diane, Darnell, Lisa, Chris and Family,Please know that my heart breaks for you and your loss. James was a very special man whom I truly loved and admired very much. As I was telling him at Aunt Imogene's wake, "though there may be miles between us and those we love, those miles never come between us and the love that is in our hearts." All my life, I thought he was very special. Just as he watched over you when he was here, he will forever watch over you from heaven up above. If there ever was a man who beamed with pride at the mention of his family, it truly was James. You were his pride and joy.If you ever need me for anything please let me know.There are not enough words in world to express the hurt in my heart for your loss. I always looked up to him and now when I look up to heaven I will always remember his wonderful sense of humor and his beautiful smile.All my love and prayers are with each one of you now and in all the days ahead. I love you. May God give you a comfort that only He can give now and always.Love, Charlene Manley-Burnett

  7. Kimberly Dement Dotson, Egypt, Ar says

    I am very sorry to hear of your loss. He was a kind, and generous man, who had a heart of gold, who loves his kids and grandkids. Diane I always admired the two of you, the love you shared had to be exceptional, to work with each other, live with each other, most people could not do that, and those that tried, very few stayed sane, or married. The two of you made it look so easy.I know this is not easy on you, but you have 3 amazing kids that love you, and will do anything for you. Darnell, Lisa, & Chris, I am so very sorry for your loss, always remember he still lives on in you and your children. The Lord called home one heck of a man.May the Lord be with you in your time of grief.Kimberly, Manda, Heath, & Shay
