I served with Jamie on the Seattle and at NNMC Bethesda. Close friend even after the military as we keep in touch often. I will miss my friend and great times that we had. Her smile and good nature will be missed by myself.

Jamie is my first and earliest memory of friendship. She was a loyal friend. Our friendship survived many ups and downs throughout our childhood, teenage, and young adult years.

Jamie's smile is contagious and her laugh infectious.
It was so much fun living across the street from one another!

Unfortunately, with time and distance we lost contact with one another.

We had so much fun going to our neighborhood playground, sledding on the hill, playing hide and seek on our block, VBS, our talks and games on the front porch, sun bathing on our roof top, and too many sleep overs to count.

I fondly remember our negotiations in television shows- Jamie and Miss Sonia loved to watch M*A*S*H*.

Let us not forget the many Friday/Saturday nights at the great Manchester Mall ! And yes, our mischief...
Thank the Good Lord for His unending Mercy and boundless Grace.
Thank you Lord, for blessing me with such a dear friend in Jamie.

My Love & Prayers Are With Miss Sonia, Mr. Jim,
Tina, Robin. and Tawny
