I hung out with Jamie a lot in high school and when I would run into her years later, she always stopped to talk and catch up. Those chance meetings happened a few times and her bright smile always made it feel like no time had passed. Jamie was a kind and genuine person who will be missed by everyone who had the privelege of knowing her. I send my deepest condolences.

I went to St Vincent's with Jamie. I remember that she was always very animated and friendly-- full of life. Even though we didn't have many classes together, ours was such a small class that she was always in the midst of almost every gathering. In those days she was kind, funny and a very loyal friend. Even though we lost touch over the years, I'm sure those qualities I saw in high school shone through to everyone she met. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I hope that your friends, family and faith are a comfort to you during this time.
- KE Dixon, New Orleans, LA
