Thank you Richard for explaining. I sent you a message, but it was probably from my phone. You were the first person James wanted to know when he went to the hospital. He called you friend. By the way 3 of the songs in the video is James singing. He was quite a singer that few out here in Lubbock know.

Mrs. Smith, I am sorry I just found this tonight and missed the celebration of life. I enjoyed the short time I was able to get to know Mr. Smith. I enjoyed the short visits with him in the neighborhood and his knowledge about so much. I wish we had more time to visit. He was such a great friend.God Bless you.Richard Dean

Charolette, I am so sorry to hear of James passing. It was a blessing having the two of you for neighbors in Wolfforth. I'm sorry I won't be at the visitation. I am living in Coppell now. Pat Weatherly
