God loves all of you more than you can imagine. Darling Jamie Lynn (birdlegs) is free from from all the burdens she ever faced in this life. No more pains and hurts ever again. Freedom is the wonderful gift given to us by our Lord and Savior, she is now looking at things with a different perspective. Now..... learning how to celebrate the joy of Jamie is what we are left with. She is in all that you are and all you see. She's left her special mark on all of us. We will continue to love Jamers as we have always done and love all of you as well. God Bless you Evan, I know Mommy loved you in the only way she knew how. Keep her in your hearts and accept the peace Jamie now has.
Love and hugs to all, Randy, Cindi, & Alicia
