As Tina Turner sang, Jamie was "Simply The Best" friend one could ever have. There was nobody more thoughtful and willing to help, and/or with a sharper wit and sense of humor, than Jamie. She really leaned in for me and my children when my wife Michelle passed in 2014. Now she's joined her in the "Great Beyond", where I'm sure they're sharing some hearty laughs together. Rest in peace and gut-busting jubilation our "Dear Friend"! You leave behind a never ending legacy love and laughter... Godspeed to Roberto, Patrick and Kelly,
We love you all,
Mike and Jamie Paolini, with Olivia and Zachary
