I'm just going to warn you that this isn't going to be an easy post for me. But I strongly believe that I need/should remember my step-dad in such a way that I (and others) can look back on and share. As most of you know, Jamie was diagnosed with rectal cancer 2 years ago in July and unfortunately the cancer spread to his liver and then in the last 6 months to his lymph nodes and lungs. He battled bravely and was such a strong witness for the Lord throughout his treatments and his faith brought so many closer to Jesus. The Lord used his illness to heal many relationships in our family alone and we know that it was all apart of the Master's plan. But on July 31st 2010, Jamie was welcomed into the arms of Jesus and is now praising and singing his heart out in heaven!!! We are still struggling with the reality of Jamie not being here on earth with us, but the comfort that we have knowing where he is and what he is doing makes it easier to handle. There are days it still feels like he is just gone on a business trip, and others that I find hard to accept that he won't be here to see Parker grow up but I know he is watching and looking out for our family from heaven. We miss him terribly and we are very thankful for all of the thoughts/prayers from all of you and still covet them because it will continue to be a struggle for our family. Thank you for everything Jamie, you have left an example for all of us to follow and you will never be forgotten. We love you!! Looking forward to seeing you in Heaven!!
