My heart hurt deeply when I received the news on James' death. Only so very few of us have the love that drives us to cooking and feeding the masses and to even run into a building on fire. Our lives are a little less without him among us. I will strive to keep his flavor and spirit in my life to honor you guys. Love y'all
