Jamie's Legacy to Me I have learned more watching Jamie's struggles with addiction than I could have learned from anyone. He taught me so much about what the young addicts go through and I feel I am a much better counselor as a result of my son. This is for you son, you taught me well. I love you and miss you everyday. As I watch your son grow, I will let him know all about you and give him those great big bear hugs you gave and would have given to him. We will watch over him and be the best grandparents any little boy could ever have. Love, Your Mom
