Nov. 4th, 1985 to June 8th, 2006
Jamie was a very special person and was loved by everyone who knew her. She was about to start her third year of college to be a R.N. She was especially fond of older people and babies. We took a trip on Memorial Day to Eureka Springs, AR. to see The Great Passion Play. During that weekend I also bought her a car. She always wanted a Mustang, and that's what she got. We had such a great time that weekend, we even took a canoe trip down Buffalo River. That was to be our last vacation together. She called me at 6:27pm and told me she and her beloved 50lb Basset Hound, Dayzee, were going to stay with a friend of hers and that every time she made a turn, Dayzee tried to get in her lap. We also discussed her coming to my house when my job finished in 2 weeks. She lived in Ar. and I live in La. She was to help me re-do part of the house and put a liner in the pool. I was the last person she ever called. At 6:48 she turned down a subdivision to go show her car to her cousin and was struck by a train. She will be forever 20   I miss her so much.
My Dearest Family,...... Some things I'd like to say.. but first of all to let you know... that I arrived okay.... I'm writing this from Heaven.... where I dwell with God above..... where there's no more tears or sadness,... there is just eternal love Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night That day I had to leave you, when my life on Earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me, and He said "I welcome you, It's good to have you back again. You were missed while you were gone. as for your dearest family, they'll be here later on" Then God gave me a list of things He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you. And I will be beside you every day, and week, and year and when you're sad I'm standing there to wipe away the tear. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you, in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on Earth and all those loving years, because you're only human they are bound to bring you tears.	But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain, but remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned, but if I were to tell you you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is o'er I am closer to you now than I ever was before. And to my very many friends, trust that God knows what is best I'm still not far away from you, I'm just beyond the crest. When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind And when you feel the gentle breeze or the wind upon your face that's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free, remember you're not going, you are coming here to me. And I will always love you, from that land way up above. Will be in touch again soon, and P.S. God sends His Love. Jamie
Love never disappears for death is a non-event. I have merely retired to the room next door. You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are. Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad. Continue to laugh at what made us laugh. Smile and think of me. Life means what it has always meant. The link is not severed. Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight? I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path. You see, all is well. St. Augustine
