‘The biggest smile on his face’
Denise continued with her emotional recollection: “I walked into the lounge and saw him standing there with the biggest smile on his face. [James was] looking up to my curtains where he had thrown every Chipstick crisp out of the packet.
“He found it so funny all of them hanging off curtains like little darts, still giggling so much with that lovely big smile on his face. And I stood there and laughed so much with him.
That is the James I want everyone to remember.
“That is the James I want everyone to remember. My little, beautiful, funny James.”
