Uncle Bear has not only been an uncle to me but a friend as well. My uncle will be truly missed by me. It's sad we take life for granted, we are here today and gone tomorrow. If you love your family, please let them know because death is real. Now my uncle has paid a debt that we all will have to pay, so family, let's get ourselves together so we will be ready when it's our time. Love you all.

I am sorry for your loss, please accept my heartfelt sympathy. While you are preparing to lay your loved one to rest, to sleep for a little while in death(John 11:11), I hope you will find comfort in knowing that soon Jesus' promise of the resurrection will be fulfilled; when he will awaken those who are sleeping in death, restoring them back to life, to live eternally on the Paradise earth.-John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. Until that blessed promise is fulfilled; may Jehovah God soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort.during this time of sorrow.-Matthew5:4.

James was the best stepfather that I could have hoped for. He was always there for me when I was in trouble or just needed someone to talk to. He will be missed dearly. I love you "Daddy".

Our prayer is that you may find comfort through Gods Word, the Bible. Isaiah 25:8 tells us: "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.
