Having a hard time believing you are gone. I already miss you. We had got closer this last year and I am thankful for that. We would fight like cats and dogs but that is what brothers and sisters do. I always knew no matter what you would have my back. You are no longer in pain and I know I will see you again one day. Love ya.

Sorry to see you go My Good Friend....but it must be God's mercy!
We became friends after High School and grew tight working construction together back in the early-mid 90's....been great friends ever since!
I enjoyed the last couple of visits with you Jamie, talking old times, LL baseball, sharing a prayer, a laugh or three and eating the strawberries you brought outside while we sat on the porch just reminiscing (like it was any other day - which is what made it so good).
Nobody I'd rather have beside me in a jam, cause I know you'd have my back!
Gonna miss that breakout laugh of yours,
and regret having one less True Friend to share "back in the day" stories with. (My best NH Friend).
I hate what you had to go thru these last few years, but Thankful the Lord saved you from your battle.
You fought a long and hard fight with all you had, but that's no surprise to me!
Rest Easy Ol' Friend!
