“Call me by the old familiar name.Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.”

- Henry Scott-Holland. "Death Is Nothing At All."

Cannot believe it’s been a year,  I can only imagine how many people JJJ is entertaining in heaven.  He was a truly special person who I am grateful to have known.  I’ll be ever forget the great times spent w James, we always said we were brothers from another mother.  Love and miss you buddy!

My deepest condolences to the Jennings' family and loved ones. I will always remember James for his love for our Dear Old Morehouse, his love for Atlanta and his friends. James will always be a part of the Stanley's Cigar Lounge Family and I will miss our daily interactions catching up on sports, news, and the latest happenings at Morehouse.  November 22, 2024 will always leave an indelible mark on me. RIH dear brother. 

My sincere condolences to the family. From our days in high school summer camp at Morris Brown to our days in the AUC and the Blue and White family. James always had a kind word and a smile.  Rest well my friend. May God comfort and provide your family with strength during this time.

Thankful for every memory. I will cherish every moment we had. May you rest ever so peacefully 💙
Rest in peace sir.  You will be missed my deepest sympathy to the family. 
May God extend comfort and peace! Know that God will sustain and be your strength. 

I am so sorry you didn't have more time young man.  It all goes by so fast.  One minute you are playing basketball on the block.  The next, you are called upon to be a man and accept life challenging responsibilities.  One minute your body is on autopilot.  The next, you have to watch it like a hawk just to survive..  

I'm so sorry things happened this way.  I hope your peers can learn from this loss of you so early.  I hope we all learn to take life for the precious, fragile blessing that it is.  

I only knew you for a short while.  But I liked the way you always made everyone feel important while they were in your presence.

Sincere condolences to The Family and Joy. I'm PRAYING FOR COMFORT AND PEACE DURING this time of sorrow. 
We are sorry for your loss and praying for Jame's family and friends.
The Jones family (Terrance & Michelle) of New York are sending our condolences to Joy & all of the family. We will always have fond memories of James! ❤️🙏🏾

My Beloved Morehouse Brother you will be dearly missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family during this time.
Deepest condolences to the Jennings family. James/Chris were my brother and I’s Sunday school mates at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Our Sunday schoolteacher Mrs. English (rip) ensured we knew the books of the bible. Many years have passed but Mrs. Jennings(rip),Mr. Jennings, and the entire family have always been so pleasant, kind and with infectious smiles. May James rest in heavenly peace. 
Joy...My Sunshine... you are in our thoughts and prayers. Susan, Trenesia & Trenton (Ivy Family)

Our collective hearts are with you during this time of sorrow. We mourn the loss of your loved one and our Brother.
