i am very sorry for us all to have lost such a great co-worker. jamie was at a g edwards when i started 22 years ago. it is so hard to come to work and him not be here. i knew him longer than my son has even been alive (21 years). he was always nice, funny and willing to help me with anything i needed help with. he was the first person to offer to carry things, move things-whatever i needed help with. i still cannot believe he is not here-let's all take that to heart and be right in our relationship with GOD and with each other. my prayers go out to all of jamie's family and friends and to us that were used to seeing him everyday, all day at work. God Bless us all

I did not have the opportunity to meet Jamie, unfortunately, but Beth Ann Kahn is one of my oldest and dearest friends. We just recently reconnected after an absence of many years. My heart goes out to her at this time, as well as Jamie's family also. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Mr. Clay Crews, and Family:

I am so very sorry to hear about your brother, Clay, and know that it must be a shock to your whole family. I wish you all hearts' ease soon, as memories of your brother sweeten with time, and the pain subsides, as it does, with the passage of time (this I know from my own experiences - most recently I lost my beloved brother-in-law, Jerry, in February from a lingering cancer).

God bless your family and let me know if there is anything I can do. I have business appointments today, or I would try to attend his service. Just know that I am there in spirit to honor him, you, and your family. In Jesus' name, I pray for you all.

Sidney, Tupelo Knew Jamie in Memphis and on fishing trips.
Ernest knew Jamies father as fellow MD years ago in Little Rock in med school and in practice and was on several fishing trips with Jamie with my son.
We miss him so much on fishing trips as he always did more than his share in camp-he was a happy camper and made others feel better.
