To the DeGennaro Family-
May loving memories of James bring you strength and comfort. I'm so sorry and my heart breaks for all of James' family and friends in dealing with such a huge loss. I worked with James at OGS and he was such a hard worker and I had the pleasure of getting to know him better this spring when we were back in the office even though we were on different floors. He was so outgoing once we could talk about something other then work and he had such a great sense of humor whether it was quoting songs, movies, or just cracking jokes trying to lighten the mood. His fun personality made the stressful days at work better and brighter and there's already been times that I wanted to reach out to him because I know he would've gotten a kick out of something that happened and I want to hear what his response would be. James also talked about how much he loved his family (cats too) and was so excited when I stopped at his desk to show me the pictures he had of everyone.
I'll be thinking of you all during this difficult time.
James - I miss you buddy & I promise I'll watch Couples Retreat, so I'll finally understand some of the references you made. Although I think most the fun for you was that I didn't get the references and you could tease me about that. Rest in Peace and thank you for everything. -KristEn (one last time you get the "E").
