Dear Jamie, I have learned a lot more about your mom by reading her obituary, what a wonderful mom and lady!! This was very honoring of her. I’m thankful that she’s in heaven with Jesus for eternity. I will be praying and thinking of you as I know she will be painfully missed. Treasure all your memories!

Jamie,
Thinking of you and the years of memories of your mom!
She loved spending time with you, and you were her heartbeat! I can see her shaking her head and laughing at whatever you said or did. She loved being your mom and enjoyed being involved in every aspect of your life throughout the years. She was so proud of you and you both were blessed to have each other.
Praying for you in the days to come,
Miss Reed
