Jamie Michael Flanary

Jamie,

Back in 2013, when I heard that you passed away, I was deeply saddened. My memories of you were back at Appalachia High School where every morning before school we talked in the lobby of the gym down at the end near the room where they used to sell soft drinks and snacks. We also talked when we could throughout the day, and then at the end of the school day. I remember you being very kind and funny. You had a great sense of humor. You're one of the people who talked to me and treated me with kindness and respect. If I was having a problem, I could talk to you and I knew I could trust that you wouldn't take it anywhere else. When I was feeling down, you had a way of making me feel better and that everything would be okay. I will always remember that. We were there for each other. Then I transferred to JI Burton High School (which to this day I don't know why I asked to do that), and we kind of lost contact. I was the one who left, and I should have tried to keep in touch with you. I regret not doing that. We did reconnect on Facebook I remember, but a lot of time had passed at that point, and I ended up not staying on there for long. Unfortunately, I was consumed with my problems then, and I regret that as well. I can't help but to think if I had made an effort to reconnect with you in life, then maybe I could have been there for you as an adult during the hard times. I have so many regrets in life, and my failure to be there for you is one of them. I'm deeply sorry for that. Of all the people I knew back in school, you are the one I remember being the kindest, most generous, understanding person. You are such a special person Jamie, and I have faith that you are with the Lord. I hope that I make it there too when it's my time so I can see you and all of my family and friends again who have passed away. Until we meet again Jamie. Love you brother.

Your friend,
Anthony Brickey

Jamie,
My friend we don't always understand what or why some life's are short lived and some long but I'm thankful your Family serving and praised God and your Dad preaches still today that's a blessing to know that we sat in church many Sunday's clapping and praying to God if anything makes it more comfortable is to know you was washed in the blood and you got to know our Lord God before your departure love you my friend, your friend Danny CLINE, Jr
