To All:

One month already and yet I’m guessing that most of you are still riding a roller coaster of emotions; laughing one minute and in tears the next. Bittersweet are the memories of the one you’ll always love and have now lost. Take the time and allow yourselves to feel both the hurt and the happiness of today and for all the days to come; wrap yourselves in the love that Jamie left for all of you to remember her by. Know that so very many people are still thinking of all of you and that our prayers and thoughts continue to be with you all.

Blessings Always,
Sue

March 20, 2007

Dear Dr. King and girls,

I have been steadily praying for all of you since I learned your wife/mom was sick. Sickness is definitely a "shared" experience, especially one of this magnatude. I was, unfortunately, a week late in finding out about her passing. So, in my usual confused state (!) went to the funeral home an entire week late! What can I say... Dr. King, I know that doesn't surprise you about me! But I am with you and your family in spirit and continue to lift all of you in prayer. The hurt lasts a long time but it gets a tiny bit easier each day. So take it a day at a time, or even a moment at a time if days seem too big to handle. Treasure your memories and hold her close. She will never leave you.

Our family would like to express our deepest sympathy to you and your entire family. I know that Jamie was a huge part of your lives. Nothing could ever replace the life and love that you shared with her. Dr. King you have always been there for Roger and I and all of our children when we needed you. I hope that you know that we will always be here for you. The care and compassion that you have shown to us, could never be expressed by words. Just know that your famiy has never left our prayers and our thoughts. May the Lord watch over you and bless you with bright tomorrows.

Dr. King
I just heard about your loss & cant express enough how sorry I am that you had to experience this . I never met your wife Jamie but reading some of the other articles from people that knew her , can only realize that she was a beautiful individual in every way . I want to offer you all the support you need getting through this loss . I recently lost my only brother & spent the last moments with him . It is tough to experience these kinds of losses but you will rebound . I feel like I know your family through the various pictures pinned up on your Bulletin Board . Three wonderful daughters Rachel , Michelle & Megan make you proud & are a living memory of Jamie & your love for her.
I cant begin to recount all the times you have been there for me & our family . Like when I was going through my surgery in 2000 you were there comforting me . Since 1990 when I moved here from Canada you got me through lots . You have been our family doctor since then . You are always cheerful in spite of the volume of patients you had to deal with . We have shared some laughs & memories . On behalf of the Mayne family thanks .
Bob , Janice , Krista , Devon , Kaitlynn , Justin .
I know you have not met my two boys but when you are ready you will .

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dr. King: My friend, Jamie Robbins, just shared the sad news with me. I had no idea. I am so terribly sorry that she passed at such an early age. I cannot even imagine the void she has left. It was a heartwarming obituary. She sounds like a tremendous woman who will be missed by many. You and your daughters are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark,
You may not remember us - our families met via Fr. Kruse at the St. Joseph's Christian Family Movement (CFM) meetings while you were still in med school in Des Moines, IA. We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness upon seeing Jamie's obituary in our local paper. She was such a bright light. Two+ decades later and we can still see her smile and remember how she made us laugh. I still have some of Jamie's recipes. May you find some comfort in knowing you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Much love to you all.

Dear Dr. King and family,
As I send you my condolences I am overcome with tremendous sadness for the loss of your wife and mother. I have kept her in my prayers ever since I found out she had cancer. As I continue on in my own battle against breast cancer, it is never easy to find out that a fellow cancer patient did not survive this dreaded disease. I can relate to all the pain and suffering Jamie had to endure, having gone through chemo and radiation myself. I wish I had gotten the chance to know her but I'm sure her spirit will live on through her daughters, husband and other family members. Know that we will continue to pray for her soul and for your family as well.

You have a wonderful family who amaze me each day w/ the support they find for one another. Jamie & all of you are in my prayers.

Matt,Lisa, The King family,and The Momper family,
I am truly sorry for the loss of Jamie. Please know that God has her in the palm of his hands and she is watching down upon all of you. Her love for her children will shine upon you from the stars above. I know how it is to go thru all of this. As I have lost 2 of my sisters. God will see all of you thru this.

May God surround you with his peace and grace from the love of your family and friends.
There is nothing that can be said to take away the pain, but I hope this poem will give you all some peace and faith that she is now in God's care.......


To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My family is praying for you,
God Bless

Dr. King and girls, My family never had the opportunity to meet Jamie but during her illness we were able to watch Megan continue to lead her team on the court. My brother coaches the Oregon-Davis girls basketball team that has my three neices playing and to watch Megan nearly complete an unbelievable comeback, was a thing of beauty. I know Jamie was such a large part of her drive and leadership. My family's prayers are with you all.

Dearest Dr. King, Rachel, Michelle and Megan

Sending you and all of your family my most heartfelt sympathy and Love. Over the years you have shared countless hours of Tender Loving Care with all of the members of my family. Never leading us to feel that we were taking up your time. Recently when my Mom was called home you even took the time to call our house to express your sympathy. No, Mothers cannot ever be replaced, but we do find peace in the fact that they now prepare an Eternal home for us in Heaven. My Mom never knew a stranger, we laugh now and say she will probably be the "Door Greeter" in Heaven...always filled with Love for others! I think she and Jamie have met by now and she is probably Thanking Jamie for all of the wonderful things you have given to us and how you have continued to care for my two sisters and I on our journey. It is our turn to lift you up and be there for you, please know that we cover all of you in our prayers daily. We also know that you lost not only your Wife and children's Mother, but also Dr. King your Mother as well. Your family has had to lean heavily on your Faith and God's Love to carry you. You can find peace in that they are together watching over all of you until you are once again sitting at the same table. Find solitude in all the Love she had for each one of you. Sending each of you a HUG and a Prayer for peace on your journey.

Love and Blessings, Pat

I just wanted to send my prayers to the King family. It was really great to know such wonderful and beautiful people. While dealing with the lost of a loved one, espically a mother is hard, i have been there. But you know she is always watching over you. So think about the good times. And one you will all see Jamie again. That is a reunion to look forward to. May God wipe your tears away and bring joy to your heart.

Nancy,
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady...your resemblance is remarkable. You were such a blessing to her during her battle--what a truly amazing gift you were to her just by being her sister. Someday, you will be together again...Until then, I'm certain her spirit will live in all who loved her and in whom she loved as well. Healing thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I remember Jamie coming to south Georgia as a teenager and spending several summers with my family and me. She was always so spirited and fun. I always missed her when she left and I will continue to miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Nancy,
I have been so amazed by your strength throughout Jamie's illness. The love you demonstrated by all these months of care for Jamie, driving up to Ft. Wayne to spend day after day,week after week, was very powerful. I cannot fathom going through what all of you have experienced. You have lost your best friend and sister, Mark lost his loving wife, and their exceptional children losing their mother so young is excruciating. I pray you are comforted knowing she is in God's loving hands.

Dear Mark, Rachel, Michelle, Megan and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Jamie's passing. Your family is in our prayers. Jamie was such a good wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Jamie was a fighter. She was so funny and just fun to be around. I know you will miss her and it is hard but be strong and keep doing what you know she would want you to do. She is in heaven now with the Lord and she is not suffering anymore.

Megan & the King Family,

Every time Megan took the court the last three years we knew she would give the ultimate effort. That is how her Mother raised her. The Holle family is very sorry for your loss but is also very thankful that we got to know Jamie’s wit & talents, and observe her devotion to her family. We are all better people for the privilege of sharing some brief moments in her life. Donovan, in particular, has learned much about the cycle of life during Jamie’s illness. He cried when I told him, ‘Megan’s mom died,’ because he really loves Megan. She always has time to give him a big hug!!
In the obituaries Monday you may have noticed the listing for Tammy Brouwer. She was the single mother of a nine year old who died unexpectedly Saturday. We want to ask God why He calls such young mothers to be with Him, but, because of our faith, we trust His plan. We pray God gives you peace, understanding, strength, and the comfort that comes from knowing that Jamie is watching us all in heaven. God bless you all,

Doug, Camille, Aubrey, & Donovan
