    We can not begin to express how sorry we are about J’amie. We could not begin to say we know how you feel, but pray that the good memories are starting to fill the spots in your heart consumed with grief. The last time we saw J’amie, she came into her grandma’s house full of excitement and was all smiles on her way with a friend to a ball game. She always was full of smiles. Know you have been and will continue to be in out prayers

    For the past 20+ years Jamie was the first person I would call when I needed a friend, and she always made time to listen without judgement. She was there for me during the best and worst times of my life, and she was always willing to lend a helping hand. She loved my fur babies and would come over just to visit them. One of my dogs would roll onto her back and wait for a belly rub the minute Jamie walked in. I can still hear Jamie’s laugh when my 100 pound lap dog would put his paws on her shoulders. I was with Jamie the night I met my husband. Jamie was at my house the day my son walked for the first time. Girls night out, a trip to Vegas, late night shopping, Rick Springfield concerts, and a day at the pool will never be the same without her. I could say so many things, but those who love her know how amazing she was. My life has forever been changed by her friendship and her death.

    Cox and Craig family, my family is grieving with you. I hope you find comfort in the hours, days, months and years ahead. I hope you always remember the good times and the laughs you had. May your memories never fade, and your hearts begin to heal in time.
    Love,
    Kristin, Kevin, Grant, Sadie and Max

    I was fortunate to know Jamie for my high school years at Platte County. We had many great times together and I always considered her a great friend. Though we hadn’t seen each other in years, I followed her on social media and saw how much she loved and cared for her family and friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected and ask that God watch over her for eternity. RIP my friend, until we meet again.
