I loved growing up with you and being in the same ward. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have know your mom and what a blessing that is to any one she encountered. Those on the other side are so blessed to have her home and with out a doubt are rejoicing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jaymi and Dallas,
I am so so sorry about the loss of your mother. My mom called and told me, and my heart sank for your family. I know you have a lot of friends and family that you can lean on, but if you need to talk or anything at all, please call me.
Love you,
Tiffany

Jaymi Lynn,
My sweet girl, I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say or do to ease your pain. But, I can tell you how much I loved your mom. I feel so privileged to have grown-up in the neighborhood, with chance to enjoy her love and kindness. She was always fun and creative. I remember that she was the BEST mom of the little preschool that our moms did for Jason, Matt, Tristin and Marcus. (Heck, they had to be saints, just to attempt it). But even more impressive, was the testimony that she had, and was willing to share with those around her. Once, after I spoke in church, she came up and hugged me and thanked me for bringing up a topic that was hard to talk about. She was like that. . .she didn't let the opportunity to compliment pass her by. I'm grateful to have known her. Thanks for sharing her with us. And of course, I see her in your beauty, your love of your family, and your thoughtfulness. Please know that I'm thinking of all of you.
Jaymi,
My heart is aching for you and your family and little brothers on Missions. I am so glad you moved closer to your family. Make sure your husband just holds you and kisses you alot. Nothing is better for the broken heart. I remember talking about our sick Mom's in College and felt close to you. I lost my Mom about 8 yrs ago and if you ever need to talk, email me your number and I will call you! heatherfeather80@yahoo.com
Oh Jaymi, I am so sorry. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Jaymi, so sorry about your mom. I couldn't believe it when my mom told me. I had just gotten an email from her the day before about some family history stuff we were working on. I have talked with her a lot the last few months over email and it was so fun to do the genealogy work together. I'm really gonna miss her fun emails! My prayers are with you all. You guys are great! Love ya, ~April
I am so sorry to hear of your loss! My heart goes out to you and your family.
Dear sweet Jaymi, I am so sorry to hear of your precious mom. She is such an amazing lady. She was one of the first people to make my life in St. Johns so positive. She was always fun to talk with and always shared of her love of you kids. She's so proud of each of you. I loved her little laugh that made you chuckle with her. My heart is with you - love Stacey

Hey, it's Lisa and Cliff. I just needed to tell you how much we love you. I wish we could've been there with the family, but our hearts were there and our prayers. Let us know if there is anything we can do. I know peace and comfort are all you need and the Savior is the one to turn to. He knows all and is right there waiting to embrace you with His spirit. Love you dearly. Hope to see you soon.
Jaymi, I will miss your mom- I have so many great memories of her and spending time with your family. I remember one 24th of July she did our hair in upside-down french braids- we thought we were so cool. I loved all the meals and family home evenings at your house. Your mom had such a strong testimony and she was a great example to me. I saw her this past summer and we were laughing about how I was in all your family pictures. Your mom never made me go home- she just always considered me part of the fam and I loved her. I also remember she let us make a mess of your kitchen all the time- and she didn't even get upset when we burned 3 batches of suckers in a row. I also loved how she got a kick out of us even when we were bratty- like when we stuck cockleburs on your little brothers and told them they were bugs- she thought it was funny too! I will miss her. I miss you too and hope you are doing ok. Love you, Cort
Jaymi and Dallas ~ This has weighed heavy on our hearts with you. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a beautiful woman in every way. Hang in there. Love ~ Mike and Heather
Jaymi- I am not very good about checking blogs. I am so sorry about your mom. That would be so hard. How did she die? Hang in there!

Jaymi just want to tell you how amazing you really are. I know you will make it through this. I'll always remember your mom and the memories down at the Whiting's FHE,sleepovers,cooking etc. And your mom's beautiful smile. My mom said the funeral was wonderful how all of you talked about your mom. Love ya Amanda
