We were so deeply saddened by the tragic news of James' passing. Although we have been away from St. Louis for 15 years, we couldn't help in recalling the numerous times that the Grigsby and Bruns boys got together for overnighters and play at Washington Terrace. While the current grief is heavy in your hearts, the memories of James' growing up and his stories will always be special.

From our family to yours, you have our deepest sympathy.

Love,
Dennis, Jacqueline, Jami, David and Any

Beth, Isa, Amy
My heart truly goes out to all of you, and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you know my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I did not know James as well as I do each of you, but from talking with each of you over the years I got a real good sense of the person he was and the love you all shared for him.
Know that I will be thinking of you and your family through this time and the days to come.
