I was blessed to know Jamie for the past 11 years. We were assigned to visit women in our church together many years ago and I learned several things from Jamie. I will mention two. I learned what being a giver looks like. I learned that if you get offended and leave the church, it will be you that experiences the negative consequences, not those who offended you. Jamie was always smiling. I appreciate hearing all of the wonderful stories Jamie's sisters and family/friends shared at her funeral. Truly an amazing person. I will miss her.
