James Stafford Summersgill

James Stafford Summersgill, 41, died on Monday, November 28, 2011 from a final seizure that released him from the physical suffering he had endured for years. He was preceded in death by his father, David J. Summersgill and grandparents, Margaret and Curtis Stafford and Millie and James Summersgill. He left behind his mother and stepfather, Nanci Summersgill and Robert Stephen Tew, a beloved brother, David Summersgill, his wife Julia and their children, Bankston and Caroline, a much loved sister, Margaret Susan Summersgill, a wonderful step-grandmother, Faye Tew, a patient and loving aunt and uncle, Susan and Ron Thompson, his Aunt Bonny and Uncle Kaywald Stafford and his cousins in Baton Rouge, all of whom he remembered only with positive thoughts of happy times. His family is comforted that his bible and the book “90 Minutes in Heaven” were by his bedside when he died. The last words his mother spoke to him were “Staff, I love you” and he responded “Mom, I love you too”. The family wants to remember Stafford’s nurse and friend, Dora Pena, who helped him so much during his last few years. Stafford will be buried at a private funeral at a date in the future and the family asks only that friends and relatives stop and take time to gently touch or softly kiss someone they love and tell them they have made a difference in their life.
