We had the pleasure of working with Jamie at ABC. Whether asking her to help you or a client or to choose what to eat for lunch or to find a file you already had she never complained or acted like you were a bother. She did everything with a smile and a laugh. Her lovely presence will be greatly missed. Steve and Cassie Braam

I'll never forget my memories of Jamie-she was one of my best friends in grade school right into high school. Although we lost touch later on, I'll always remember the good times and great moments we shared as we grew up together. My thoughts are with Jackie and her family through this most difficult time.

Jamie I cannot believe that I will not be seeing your gorgeous face, sweet personality, and beautiful smile when I go into the clinic next time. I still am in shock.

You are such a hardworking, kind, empathetic and nurturing person. You always went out of your way to help me and nothing was ever too much "trouble". No matter what kind of mood I was in you always found a way to make me smile by the time we finished checking in. We had several good times joking with each other.

You and Jackie were such a good team. The two of you ran that office better than I remember anyone doing in the past. You had a way of making each person feel special and their request for assistance important and you always did it with a smile. This made it exceptionally easy to talk to you and comfortble asking for what I needed.

Jamie, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know you. You are an inspiration and your smile and laughter are contageous. I know that you are in a better place and I hope that some day we will meet again. I'm alreasy missing you and I just learned of your passing. Part of me wants to be able to say Goodbye, but I would much rather say I will see you later and I will never forget you.

Thanks for all that you have done.

My prayers go out to family and friends of Jamie. She was always someone I would look forward to seeing any time I went to the clinic because I knew that my day would be better after talking to Jamie. There are people in the world that can light up a room with their presence and she was one of them. She will be truly missed and I know she is still here waiting to get a smile out of us when we think of her.

July 17, 2012

When I read about Jamie, words could hardly be expressed to state the loss of her young life. But I was still compelled to share my condolences to you and your families. I've found comfort in the fact that God holds the loss of our dear loved ones in his memory for a future of blessings that will wipe away pain and suffering forever. But until then, may you be showered with much love and support that will comfort your hearts at present.
Sincerely,
Denise

Words cannot even begin to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Jamie was an amazing, free-spirited and loving woman. Thinking of her laugh and goofiness brings a smile to my face. She always found the good in people and was never quick to judge. She had the hugest heart and the biggest smile and will NEVER be forgotten. May your memories give you strength during this difficult time.

Jame, I still can't believe you're gone. I keep thinking I'm going to see you again or get a call from you. I don't know how I'm going to go on without my big sis. You were such a beautiful, amazing woman. You had a heart of pure gold and always put others first. Work will never be the same.... knowing you'll never walk through the door again or not being able to turn around and see you sitting at your desk. You really were the personality of the clinic and it is forever changed. I was so proud of you and all you have accomplished and just wish you were still here. My heart is aching more than I ever thought would be possible. I love you and miss you more than you'll ever know. I know you're in a better place, pain free, care free and hopefully still 'Living the Dream.' xoxo your little sis :)
