I've always considered the Jamerson's and Bailey's family; they have always treated me as one of their own. Some of my favorite memories are of growing up with Kevin and Melissa. She was such a fun person and always knew how to make me laugh. I am fortunate to have had her friendship and i will miss her greatly.

You have always been a special person. For those of us who are left behind, its hard for us to understand. But now you'll grace Heaven with the same beauty and charm you had on Earth. Your pain is over. As much as we miss you, you left us with a gift, your children are blessings to us. We love you.
