Uncle Jamie----i've known you as my uncle for almost 29 years....you will always be my Uncle Jamie! We've had rough spots along the way, but I remember so much more of the good times! I know that you are probably helping them Cowboys out this year, I guess that is okay, I think they lost to the Redskins because they were still mourning your loss! Thank you, and Donna for giving me such great cousins,and for knowing that in your final days, you allowed all of us to know that we will see you again some day! Your my Amazing Grace Uncle Jamie and you will never be forgotten!

I don't think of Saturday as a Memorial for Jamie, I think of it as a celebration of his life. I think about how hard he worked in his life, and about the ones he loved. How he was a single dad and raised his two children, and how he loved his granddaughter Ariella, she was his sunshine that brightened his days. I know now he's in Heaven looking down on all of us. He's able to talk again and to walk again. He has a brand new body that God promises that we'll all have someday if we trust and believe in Him. I was looking at a picture of him and our stepfather Charles that passed away a few years ago, and I was thinking that Charles was probably waiting for Jamie at the Pearly Gates and he said" come on in Jamie, I'll show you around". I'm gonna miss him, but I wouldn't bring him back if I could, that would be selfish on my part. We'll meet again someday, and it will be his turn to show me around. I love you, your sister Cathy.
