Jamie, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I can truly understand how you feel as I lost my mom last year. You feel like a young girl who has been orphaned, even if you are all grown up!! Prayers are with you. Jan Harvey

As a child, I loved spending time with Uncle Jim and Aunt Pat...Their warmth and love was truly special to me. I find comfort in knowing that they're reunited again and sharing that twinkle that I always saw in their eyes when they were together.

May you keep wonderful memories always of your mom. My own mother passed away on the same day this year also, so Jamie, we share our losses together. I pray you will find His peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love, Jan McCurdy

We're so sorry to hear about your loss. You are always there to encourage and cheer up everyone in difficult times--we regret that we cannot be in Monroe to support you. We will certainly be praying that the Lord will be near to you and support you in the days ahead. Keith and Cindy Morris

Lord Jesus, we lift Jamie and her family up before Your throne of grace; send them Your comfort & peace in knowing that her mom is with You. Love you Jamie, Peggy

Aunt Alma was always special to me growing up.I will always think of her. May God bless all of you during this time. Mike Patrick

Janet and Jamie, Pat was always one of my favorite people, a sweet and gentle soul. Although I lost close contact with her over the past 25+ years, I have never forgotten my great fondness for her, as well as your wonderful Dad. I cherish the opportunity I had to know Aunt Pat and Uncle James. Dee and I hold both of you in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time in your lives.

Dear Jamie, I hope that you can feel the love from Baton Rouge. You and your family can have peace in knowing that your mother is comforted in the arms of Jesus. Love to you, Susan

My dear, sweet "sisters" Janet and Jamie, Each of you knows my heart regarding Aunt Pat. She, with my Uncle James, was a vital part of my childhood and as a young mother. Each one she touched was blessed. May we, each one, strive to continue her witness. I love you. Rubye Faye

God Bless you and keep you in his loving arms for all eternity.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

While heaven is rejoicing today I am missing you already. I can never name all of the wonderful things you did for everyone but the best thing for our family is that you loved Alan like nobody's business and for that I will always be grateful. And you gave Ruthie to Casey. We love you!

May the peace of God be with you during this time.

Janet and Jamie, I am praying that God will comfort both of you during this difficult time. Although I never met your mom and only spoke with her on the phone, I feel like I knew her through my conversations with you. She certainly raised two wonderful daughters. Wish I could be there for the services. Love you both, Ann Wyatt

To my adopted grandmother of over 45 years, I love you and will miss all the "borrowed" sandwiches you gave me.I am so happy to know that today you have your sight back and hurt no more.I will never forget the memories of spending endless hours at your house and in the woods.You were amazing and raised a beautiful family!! I know you were so happy to see James after all these years without him but you will be missed here,love you!!!

Mrs. Corley was my Girl Scout leader with Mrs. Wallace. I went to school with Jamie. Mrs. Corley introduced me to so many things that have help me in my life. I will always be grateful for her patience and her guidance through my younger years. I moved away from Louisiana at thirteen but I never forgot her kindness to me. I am so sorry for your loss.

I wanted to be the first one to say what a beautiful christian woman my grandmother was. She was the light of the world and touched the hearts of all who met her. I will selfishly be missing her everyday, but I will find comfort in knowing she is with our Father in heaven now. I love you Meme.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
