"It has been sometime since I had seen Jamie. I got to know Jamie through the Pony Express Riders of Iowa, the Webster City Chapter Jamie was always accompanied by her nieces Ronda and Jana and all three of them seemed to enjoy themselves all while volunteering for this important organization. Jamie always seemed to enjoy friends and family, Jamie was willing to listen if you had a problem, it was my honor to know this wonderful person. Please accept my sincere sympathy."
