I live in a beautiful area of Florida. We have springs everywhere and one special local resident is the Manatee. Our springs arre overflowing with them now due to the cold water in the gulf of Mexico. They truly are gentle giants. I am from Southern California so it truly was a culture shock moving to a small town in Florida. Leaving that rat race was a great decision. As I have mentioned, I lost my son, he was 23, last August 25, 2006. He was a writer and a poet. I am hoping to publish a book of his poetry and have some of his songs recorded. At his service, there were over 300 people. The minister was so surprised and stated he had never attended a service with so many young people. He knew that James was a friend to everyone and an enemy to noone. I miss working with him too. He was my business partner. I have a car locating company and we work with Ford dealers nationwide. I have even moved a few of the race cars abroad. I need to figure out how to post pictures of my sons and my surrounding so all can see how great a life I do have. God Bless you all!

May God bless you always and you have a great and courageous spirit as you are celebrating all the beautiful accomplishments that your son achieved during his lifetime. I also write poetry so when you publish his book i would like to purchase a copy from you in his memory and it will be my little bit of rejoicing in his life with you.
