Mitt-Matt I love you and Pugnacious. I know Nana has prepared an awesome down east meal for him in heaven. Wish I could hug you guys.

Matthew, Pug and Sammy, you are in my thoughts and prayers as well as those of my family (I hope you know that). I am sure you're dad will be missed, not only by you but by all those who knew him. Hugs to you all!

James was the love of my life and my true soul mate. I shall miss him forever. We shared many wonderful times, and later many difficult ones because of illness. His charm, wit, humor, caring, kindness, integrity,bravery and values were truly impressive. This was a man who was loved by everyone who had the blessing of knowing him.

Your father was an extrodinary man who was so loved by his family, the world is a sadder place without him. Your hearts are hurting and it will be a long time for that hurt to heal, it will, but you have such wonderful memories of this extrodinary man. Heaven got a new angel. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

James was the consummate gentleman-- and a world-class flirt. I'll miss his kindly ways, sharp wit, and dulcet voice.

James was the most lovely man. He was always a Southern gentleman with just the right amount of twinkle in his eye, quick to laugh, tease and share a joke. He will be greatly missed.

Pug and Matt, just want you to know that I'm thinking about both of you and saying many prayers for your family.

Pug, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry for your loss.

I will always remember James from when I was a little girl running around the Haystacks in Morehead. I always thought of him as a wise, kind, calm man. I have thought of him and the rest of the family often throughout the years. My thought s and prayers are with you all now and always.
