James was a friend of mine and my fathers… I am greatly saddened to hear of his passing… He was always a pleasure to be around and I wish I could have kept up with him after he moved… God bless his family and friends…
James Edward Blair was born on my 16th birthday, and we shared many birthdays. He was like a son to me. He stayed close to me his whole life. Me and my son loved Eddie very much, and he loved us too. He has had bad heath problems, and wanted to be with Jesus, so now he has gone to see Jesus, and to be with the rest of his family. I sure do miss him, He called me every day, and I sure do miss the calls, he told us everyday before he hung up the phone that he loved us. May you rest in peace my dear loved one.
Love, Betty Jo
