Jamie, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of your family when we lived in Paris. Your Mother was such a wonderful person who had such a beautiful smile especially when she talked about you.

I have fond memories of Aunt Hope growing up. We traveled to Arkansas several times a year to visit family and Aunt Hope and Uncle Nixon were always a great place to stop. When we gathered at Mimaw and Grandads house she would always make a special effort to make sure she saw me. Deepest sympathies to my cousin Jamie and her family.
