Jamie was my true love...❤️ my breath of fresh air... my best friend... I came to believe in love again four years after separating from my first husband it is so unfair that Jamie, who gave so much of himself to others had to suffer such a monstrous hell. We first met in 2007 and were friends in Scouting until we started dating in 2012. He was diagnosed in April 2016 at the age of 52 and passed away Sept. 2017. He persevered this evil for a short 2 years, but ALS threw everything at him. His suffering was immeasurable and yet he persevered and maintained hope and hung on until the beast had its way. As it does to every person inflicted...? We had so much in common in our love for Scouting and travel and nature... he was so funny, silly, loving and cared for everyone. We had dreams for our future, our retirement - he longed to be a grandfather. He would have been an amazing grandfather, but that was not to be. He suffered and held on for his mother, whom he did not want to have to face losing another child. He suffered and held on for his kids and mine, wanting to be there for them. He suffered and held on so that we could be married, June 17, 2017. And then he let go. The suffering was too much. I will be forever proud to be his wife, to be part of his beautiful family whom I have come to love so very much. He is my forever love, my forever husband. Miss him so very much.
