James,

You are very missed by all who loved you. You were such an amazing brother, son, friend, and boyfriend. I love you very much and always will. I know that you are in heaven watching down on me everyday. I know that you are constantly by my side and helping me through this. I never imagined losing the love of my life, but somehow I've been strong and I know it's because of you. Someday I will be by your side again, and until that day I will cherish every moment that we shared together.

I wanted to thank Vicki, Johhny, Charlie, and the rest of the family members for helping me through this. Thank you for including me in the memorial services, if you could only understand how much I needed that. You're an amazing family and I'm glad to now be a part of it.

We've all lost such an amazing man and through the power and strength that we all hold and with the help of God's love, we can pull through this together.

I love you James Jackson with every bit of my heart!

Always and forever yours,
Brenna
