J’s Infectious Laugh

One of my (Aunt Holly – On the left w/ John) first memories of Jamie was when she was a baby and would squeal with joy as her daddy spun her around up in the air. She showed no fear even then, a hint of her adventurous spirit.

When we visited in PA over many Thanksgivings when she was a little girl she always greeted us with a huge smile and hugs, so happy to see us and so welcoming. I remember all the cousins playing football together each year too. Jamie was quick and competitive and they shared lots of laughs trying to best each other.

She had such a big infectious laugh. She laughed often and was so fun to be with.

Even when she was hugely pregnant with the twins she kept her sense of humor. I remember her at her baby shower, and at Kiersten’s baby shower shortly thereafter, not complaining, even though we knew she had to be very uncomfortable, but instead joking, laughing and sharing her infectious joy. And at the first “baby
picnic”, a designated time to get the big and littlest cousins together, pregnant with Reagan, taking turns with Paul getting up and down being mom to the twins, we knew she was tired but even so she was lovely and graceful. She was always a joy to be around.
