This hit me like a ton of bricks Bud...!
Jamie you and I go back over 30 years,
You were one of the best apprentices I ever had...!,
We not only worked together we were friends ..... I remember getting together with our wives
and playing cards until all hours.
My wife Maggie and I had the privilege of catering You and Tracey's wedding....
Some of the best times we had were the many years at the RENO AIR RACES....!
I'm going to miss you Kid..
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND..

My dearest and oldest Cousin, you were always protective making sure no one hurt me. You, Shaunaus & Brandon taught me how to ride a bike with the Magic Rock. I will always cherish our Family gatherings from Birthdays to Holidays. I’m glad we had your last few days with each other. We laughed and cried but all in all we made sure to say I love you. I’m honored to have you as my Cousin and to be your Hospice Caregiver.

I thought about how fast this went, too fast! perhaps betterfor Jamie as he had some pain,definitely not for us!!!
Thank you to Tracey for keeping us all up to date and arranging the visit we are so glad to have talked to him on the phone and tohave been able to see him, sit with him, so many things running through my mind, memories, stories, then loss hits and I can't properly formulate them onto paper. I just want to say thatsome people think Friday the 13th is an unlucky, scary, bad day, but it's not, Mom alwayssaid it's actually a lucky day and on that lucky day I believeGod tapped Jamie on the shoulder and said he needed another angel to join him.
You will be missed more than you know and we love you!
Your cousin
