I cannot believe Jamie is gone. We lost touch years ago but I thought of her often, I actually thought of her everyday this week, wondering how she was. I remember her smile, her big truck and hugs. We hung out almost everyday one summer when she was good friends with my neighbors Sean & Crystal. We would run back and forth from our house. Oh jamie, you were a great, loving friend. You will be missed. I will picture you embracing our lord and feeling the peace we all long for. Love you forever Jamie!

The Spiritual Child

The spirit of children,
that's sharing to thee.
The completed extension for our lives to be.

Just look at us children,
taught first to love.
Just trust one another to expand up above.

Then call on us children,
to give out his gift.
Then join in the sharing, to feel their uplift.

Now, together us children,
we'll blend into one.
Now, together we'll extend what our spirit has done.
 
Love and Prayers:
Bruce, Julie, Andrew and Nick and Family McKay
