My name is Michaela and I'm James' sister--I'm creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my mom, Evangeline. A mother should never have to bury her child; our family was unprepared for this moment. James' death was unexpected and it has been very difficult for us to make the arrangements for his services and final place of rest. We are grateful for the support of our family and James' friends who encouraged us to put together a GoFundMe to help collect donations and contributions that will be used directly for James' funeral services and his final resting place at Glenn Abbey Memorial.

The love you have shown us has helped provide comfort during this difficult time, and we are grateful in advance for any help you can extend. Thank you for keeping James and our family in your thoughts and prayers.
