My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)

What a shock and terrible loss. Even though I've only known you guys for such a short period of time, in Jamie I saw a man who was extremely proud of his family and an awesome daddy.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, I hope you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know. Give your boys an extra hug...they are so precious.
God Bless you.
