Jamie was the sweetest little boy, most annoying little brother, my mom's sidekick, and loved by everyone who knew him. It always cracked me up that he would not "hear" when a non-family member called him Jamie, nor would he "hear" me if I called him James. He was funny, silly, smart, and had a snarky sense of humor. We were supposed to be the last two standing, being the youngest. We had so many in-jokes and shared memories. I don't know how life will look from now on, but it will be a lot less fun without you in. love you more, Jenny.

The first time I met James, he fed me so many gummy bears, that I can't even look at one anymore. But, from that day on, we were good friends. He knew how to cheer someone up, make them laugh and just support them in whatever way he could. He will be so missed.

I will always remember Ed saying one day you were ok. You had your own way and that made you who you were. Rest now on the mountain and tell Dianne and Ed hello.
