Karen, MaryBeth and Natalie, I am so sorry for your loss. We will all miss him greatly. I was just telling the story about him sitting in my office at Ashford Center and telling me how much he loved and adored Karen and he would not have been where he was that day without Karen. He told me of his great love for you and the girls. Strength and prayers to all of you.

Dear Karen, Marybeth & Natalie,
I'm so sorry!Jamie was a great guy.
He was Chair of Dekalb when I got involved. He welcomed all the new members with enthusiasm & warmth.Jamie always remembered my name because It was the same as his daughter. He is the only one that called me "NAT" & I let him get away with it!.
He certainly was always with the smiles & jokes.Last time I saw him was in the lobby of the movie theater! May peace be with you as you go through this period in your life.Remember Jamie is only a thought away. He will be missed!
Lots of Love,Natalie Olmi,NDRW Pres. /EC-Board Member Dekalb GOP

My condolences to the Sibold family. I worked with Jamie years ago and always looked forward to his visits to our office. He was a wonderful and quite entertaining story teller. He'll never be forgotten.

Karen,Natalie and Mary Beth--all the Broda's are having a hard time finding the words that express our feelings for your loss. While he was Jamie to everyone else, in our house for some reason it was MR. BUBBA. We will always miss his infectious smile and sense of humor. Memories of father/daughter dances and dates are something we still tell. Karen -you are fortunate to have 2 wonderful daughters to keep you going. As you used to tell Jack-make them pinky promise to keep Jamie's values and love always present--Mindy,John,Regina and Jack Broda
