Judy and Louie:
Words cannot express my heartfelt sympathy that I feel with your tragic loss of your little Jaime. I would like to feel that her spirit was met with the open arms of her grandparents (Nestor and Evelyn)whom I truly loved. I will always cherish the family Christmas holidays and other functions shared with the family in the old days. Circumstances beyond my control have prevented me from attending the services. Please know that I would have liked to be there to support you and your family and although I could not be there physically my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. One thing I know for sure is that Jaime was truly loved and that you and Louie were truly the best parents that she could possibly have had. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Dear Louie, Judy and Brittany

How our hearts sank when we got the call that Jamie was now in heaven. That sweet smile will forever be her legacy. We also want to tell you as parents Judy and Louie, we marvel at your love and dedication to make sure Jamie enjoyed all that she could.....our trips to Disney, Halloween parties, etc. And Brittany, you were the best little sis that anyone could want.
Jamie's smile will have a place in our hearts forever.
Also, Bill added that the Toys R Us in heaven is all sold out as Gramma Vegas bought it all !

love always,
Bill and LouAnn

Jamie was a complete joy to all of us at Blue Cap who were lucky enough to know her. I will always treasure the memories of her recent prom, graduation and that "first swing." Thank you for sharing your angel with us. I'm sure her tremendous smile will be looking down on all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jaimoe was truly an angel on Earth and now she is with all the other angels in heaven. Her life was truly a blessing to all who knew her and all who met her. May God's love and comfort be with all those now who miss her and may we who believe in the life everlasting look forward to the day when we will see her again and run with her in the fields of heaven.
We love you Jaimoe!
