Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Hello John, Jesse, Jeffrey and Joe, This is Cathy Inkelaar. I am now Cathy Morrison. I just came across James’s obituary today. I am so very sorry. I loved him and all of you so dearly when I was young. I have thought of him and all of you often over time and wondered how you were all doing. I’m so sorry this happened. Please know my deepest sympathies are with you all and please contact me if you want to talk. I live in California and have been married for the last 8 years. I don’t have any children. My number is 951-295-2277. Love, Cathy
I answered and ran the phone lines at the Kfdi/Wpd Christmas Crusade for Children for 25+years. Every Year I looked forward to getting the ‘James’ call! I always instructed the other volunteers when the Pkg Log Maint Owner calls, let us know immediately! It was always such a big thrill, and It was always so great to see all those bikes come in. Although the WPD went with a different phone company to work the Crusade, it is so very near and dear to my heart just as it was for James. So it was just awesome to see his legacy continue with your Memorial. My Prayers are with Your Family for their loss.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Jared and James are in class together and he wants James to know he is thinking of him.
My prayers for Your Family. Thank you for continuing the Christmas Crusade Legacy. Mrs. Lynn Nash Wichita
Karin, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please DO NOT hesitate to call if you need or want anything at all.
