Sarah,
I am so sorry for your loss. James was one of a kind and a very special man to all that knew him. He will be missed by ALL who knew him. I've known him since 2001 when I came to work at the Farm Service Agency and always looked forward to his office visits and especially looked forward to our visits to your place.
We all loved hearing stories about Carrot Top and all of yall's other special animals!
I am praying for you to find joyful memories in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Becky Selle
