We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Jamie i miss you so much. Im still not really accepting this as reality. I keep thinking this is just a horrible dream and that i will hopefully wake up and everything will be ok. You were such an inspiration to every single person you met even if it was for a minute. It was a little easier seeing so many people that came to the wake. 5 guys burgers will never be the same without you. I told dad that im keeping your shot glass collection.......and maybe use a couple lol. I wish i had an ounce of the courage and strength you had. Im trying to be strong right now but its not gonna last. I love you, say hi to mom for me.

These words are filled with thoughts and understanding, and more than anything else with a hope that each day ahead will bring a measure of comfort. May all of your happy memories of Jamie Rose help to ease the sorrow that you feel.

I can remember you carrying Jamie Rose when you were looking at my grandmother's home in Delmar. Hard to believe it was over 25 years ago and how Jamie Rose grow up to become a beautiful young lady. God Bless you all.

The last time i seen Jamie,was when she was leaving work on Thursday,July 8th. We joked around and exchanged "See you later(s)" Today,I can't help but to wish I had extended those final moments. Jamie will NEVER know how she has inspired me. I will ALWAYS remember her laughter and her tenacity to face life obstacles. Heaven must have needed another "Angel"...Jamie will be missed profoundly.

I am so very sorry to hear of Jamie's passing. I had met Jamie and her mother June (may she also rest in peace) about five years ago. I was amazed at how courageous and lovely Jamie and her mother were. They seemed inseparable and "best friends".I now believe Jamie and June were angels living on earth who God called back to heaven because he needed a couple more angels. May they both rest in eternal peace together.

Dear Bill, Billy & Marta,
We are so sad to hear about Jamie. She was a sweet girl who had a wonderful zest for life! This is such a difficult time but there is some comfort in knowing that she is with her mom now - a person who loved her beyond measure - an unbelievable gift for June. May God bless all of you always, especially now.

July 14, 2010

What gets me through my sweet girl is just thinking of you returning to your mom. I think you have gone from here to the one place that you have found eternal love ....and that is to your mothers arms. I love you my little ********

Jamie had an amazing spirit. She was a gift to everyone who knew her. I worked with Jamie years ago in the D/HH program, but in reality she taught me and so many others valuable life lessons with a wonderful sense of humor, grace and strength.
Jamie will be in my thoughts and prayers, as will your family and her many D/HH friends.
