Tonya,

I regret to say that I have not seen Jamie since High School. In fact, it was not until I heard the news that I learned that you both moved into his family home close by to me. However, I will always remember him as a good friend and such a good person. My heart goes out to you and Dustin.

Sincerely,
Chris Crosier
