As this announcement is being written, nature appears slightly muted as Jamie’s presence and bright demeanor no longer physically exist. His steady and calm voice, warm and welcoming personality will be greatly missed — I am grateful to have known Jamie and have him as my friend.
“...And he will make the face of Heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.” -Shakespeare
