You've left us all with a hole in our hearts which pain will never completely go away. You were so talented and loved your music as much as you loved your son, Brandon and girlfriend, Anita. Mercifully, you went in an instant not knowing. Leonard Cohen, poet and songwriter said in an interview that it's not the main event that worries him, it's the preliminaries. Well, Jamie, there were no preliminaries for you. One minute you were playing your guitar with your dear friends and the next, you were fallen, dead. And, even in that death, you were determined not to let them bring you back. Our hearts are broken - your friends are grieving - you were loved much more than you knew. Holidays will never be the same but we will set a place for you as your spirit will be with us always. Rest in Peace, my darling son, Jamie - Mom (Carol)
