Just want to extend my deepest sympathy to the Ravenell family for their lost. Stay strong, I am quite sure that would be James request and wishes to each and everyone. He is in a better place with his father. There is no more pain and suffering. He was a good friend, and a dear brother.I met James in training school when we were hired by the New York City Transit on 5/15/ 1994,( we were in the same class), and worked out of the same depot until he became ill.Through out the years we kept close contact. I'll miss him very much.REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND.

Elaine, Shirley, and Family
Hold to your faith in God and know that He loves James and all of you, so He called as written in Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. And James responded.
