Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved daughter. I will always remember getting stopped behind her bus and watching as Jamie was either heading out or arriving home and the great big smile that she always wore. What especially sticks in my mind is the fun ride that Jamie would get from mom on her way down the driveway! What a blessing to get stuck behind her bus! Your family will be in our prayers especially during this holiday season. with lots of love and prayers from your neighbors. (the lady in the green van)

As the clock turns, and night becomes day
There are memories we are unable to cast away
Years of joy and memories stored
We have lost someone who we loved and adored
Someone who could never be forgotton or ever replaced,
Now in our hearts, there is one place,
that is stained with so much laughter,
and so much love
we know there is an angel looking down from above
with those bright eyes and that silly grin
Forever in our hearts, is Miss Jamie Lynn

Our special angel Jamie........
A bright sparkling star when she was with those she loved,
Now she's looking down on us from heaven above.
Her unconditional love that she always gave and received,
was the greatest gift of all, I believe.
She lit up the room with her great big smile.
The laughter she shared with us could be heard for a mile.
A real or fake sneeze would send her into a frenzy!
As well as watching her favorite Bear in the Big Blue House movie!
Her "mama", her dad, sister and brother too.
Her Nana was always there to help her through.
She was an angel to us without sin to bear.
The special bond and love from her will always be there.
She taught us patience and compassion in her own little ways.
We'll miss her so much in the upcoming days.
The gifts that she gave us here in this world,
will be in our hearts FOREVER from this special little girl.

I'll miss the way we shared a good laugh Jamie. You blessed us in so many ways. Rest in peace...
