None the less my boys will always know about you, we look at pictures and talk to you often, we know you hear us. xoxo Love always your only daughter *mini you* and couldn't be more proud.

We shared so much and learned so much when we were just "young un's". The good times and the not so good times, but that stuff worked out for you for the better it seem's. Too bad history is repeating itself. I was honored to mmeet Nic at Devon"s birthday this past summer. She is so her mother,and father. I guess she has found the perfect balance so many other's waste time trying to find. I miss you sis,Love you, Cath

Comments: Dear Jamie (and family), I didn't know you during your lifetime, but I spent a few minutes getting to know you on this site today. I found your site because I was looking for the Sanskrit Proverb about "Look to this day for it is life..." I'm walking in ACS's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in San Francisco for the 9th year, and am still raising money for the upcoming event in two weeks. I wanted to use the poem in my next fundraising email blast. Anyway, I "googled" it and found your site. (Any coincidence that of all the sites I could have found, I found yours - right here in San Jose?) My mom has fought the fight twice and she's still with me. It's because of her and women like you that I do what I can every year to raise money for breast cancer research. Thank you for the inspiration. Now, about those email blasts....Hugs & Strides, Monika - San Jose,CA.

Comments: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I love you and miss you dearly. Wish you were here. I know you are watching over me and your grandson, thank you. You raised me right now giving me the guiding light to do the same with my baby. Mitchy has been pitching and from what I've heard been doing wonderful. "Way to go handsome, keep it up." If it was a football I would say it most be you on the field, the boys picked up there FB talent from their mama. Oh how you can throw a nice spiral. But Mitchy is are little all-star! I haven't made it to a game yet, because day light savings isn't for another week, which means they start early and end before I can make it out there. I am working for a real estate company and love it. I am going to complete my education in real estate, I would to become a broker or agent. Well mom continue to watch over us and know that we still think of you daily. There are so many who love you. Love always and forever your daughter. xoxoxoxoxo

Comments: Hi Momma.. I cant believe it when i say to my self that you have been gone for well over a year and continue to suprise my self of how i could have gone through all the things that i have and accomlished so many things with out you being here, but then i cheered up when i realised that you have been here by my side guideding me through my ups and downs through out my life. Momma im going to be 16 in about a week and for the second time ure not going to be here when it happens. I remember when ever it was my birthday, i never wanted to make a big deal about it but you being the partier in the family always tried to make a big celebration out of it and always found some way to make me dinner. Growing up, sometimes i had personal problems and always had you to talk to and i would never hesitate to say anything to you because i knew that what ever i was feeling down about, after our talk i knew that it would end up being all better. Momma if you were here right now you would be so suprised of how much all of your boys have grown up, and you would be so proud to know that we have all grown to be exactly how you would want us to be. A couple weeks ago your family got to spread your ashes in Hawaii and it brought tears to my eyes to hear that i would not be able to be there. I miss you so much momma! I know that you're going to be here forever helping me make the right desisions growing up. Until we meet again Momma.. -I Love You-

I miss your presence as a person, but I especially miss the words "way to go handsome," or "Go handsome," as you are cheering Max and I on from the stands. As the summer goes by, I keep thinking to myself that you would be so proud of me as i enter High School. I am going to go to Leigh, but its hard to think that your not going to be there to watch me perform at the High School level. At the same time though I know you will be watching me play from above. Well thats all for now but you will be hearing from me again soon. I Love You So Much!!!

Comments: Hi Jamie. this year in honor of you my family, the masons, and michelle and her kids went to maui. we left on june 30th and stayed thru my birthday until the 7th of july. this year i found to be the hardest i've ever been thru. and it wasn't til the day before we got on to our plane that it really hit me. it was around 10:30 on the 29th of june, we were driving up to san fransico, to stay in a hotel because our flight was so early in the morning, that it reality hit me and i just broke down. its hard for me to admit that your gone and that i can't just walk across the street and not see you or talk to you. While in maui we saw you boys and Nicole. and the whole time i was there i just felt like this was your place, and i could just feel your presense on the island. it was the perfect place for you to be, its where you wanted to be, and the place that the kids found to leave your ashes was perfect. now you can see the sunset and the entire island. when we went we found another perfect place for you. right off of black rock. we had a lai in your memory and the neighborhood group was there to say goodbye and all of their loving thoughts to you. as i've always said i will not forget what an amazing women you are and that always dazzling smile. you will always be in my heart and in the hearts of the many you touched in your time spent here. i love you and miss you very much.

You made me do a lot of stuff for the 1st time now that I think about it. You were the 1st person to get me on a rolla-coaster (top gun), Nikki was to scared to go, but some way you talked me into it, or trying an artichoke witch I love to this day, and boggy boarding the 1st time at Capitola I can home with a fractured arm. Trying clams that's the only seafood I will eat, and bre cheese this one I didn't like but you made me try it.. Last night it was like I was re-living my childhood all the times I spent the night, I even remember at the old house in Milpitas to the house on Woodford it was like me and Nikki were inseparable... Nikki and I always loved when you took us to SEA CLIFF on Memorial Day. We were talking about how you got the Suburban the day before and we were all happy, we got up at 8 and left up there and ate breakfeast and spent the whole day at the beach BBQ and playing football, Auntie you had a arm on you like know other women I know... So Nikki and me went up there this past Memorial Day just to have the tradition you started.. I Miss You very much Auntie and think about you all the time... Love You Always Tiffany

Comments: To the Luce and Calehuff families and friends: I just learned of Jamie's passing on Saturday (5/21/05). Jamie and I were childhood friends who lost touch with one another. I was so excited to run in to her when my daughters (Danielle and Rachel) joined Sartorette elementary a couple of years ago. I thought, how great, we can reconnect with one another. That connection never happened. Little did I know she was starting her fight with cancer. It was about this same time that my Mom started her fight with breast cancer. Thankfully she is still with us today. It has brought me such joy and sadness to view all of the pictures and comments on this beautiful web site dedicated to Jamie. I can tell that the Jamie I knew as a kid, grew up to be the same kind, fun loving, giving person that I knew. Jamie never had a bad thing to say about anyone, she always made you feel good about yourself. My heart and prayers go out to all who knew and loved Jamie. Glenda

Comments: Hi mama! I always thought as the days went by the easier the coping would become, however I find that it becomes even harder. Every time something isn�t right I want your advice, when I feel proud about something I wish I could share it with you and whenever I need to hear a friendly loving voice to talk to I want to pick up and dial you. Well I can�t any longer, but I do still talk with you and I know your listening. I know that you are still smiling down on us three kids; leading us in the direction we should be headed. I thought I would share with you how awesome Boog is doing this year in baseball; he is pitching and doing a great job. Even Max said so, now that�s a statement we thought we would never hear. Max is trying harder in school, was offered his first job and is going to be starting his baseball season right around the corner. You made life look so easy, why couldn�t always be like that. I was at the baseball field the other day and that is one of the hardest places I have been since you passed. All of your wonderful friends you made thru little league asked how we have been and it was hard, because we may be doing ok but without you it is very difficult. A few of those made comments��I haven�t heard anyone say WAY TO GO HANDSOME!� I actually think about it at all of the boys sporting events, but I wouldn�t get two words out of my mouth before the tears fall. I have tried. You are so beautiful inside and out, I hope to always be Jamie junior. Nothing could make me more proud than to be looked at as a little you, well and besides the fact I am your daughter. I MISS YOU!!! Love You Always! xoxoxo

Comments: hey momma, When ever I am missin you or thinking about you i can always result to writting to you on this page were so many people who have love for you.. These past few days have been so hard for me, ive learned ive been holding my feelings in and its hard for me to let you go and realize that you are gone, A person who I consider my second mother is gone and for I will not be able to ever see your face again I think has been the hardest thing I have ever had to swallow.. As you probably know Mitchel and I have joined the wrestling team at Branham..I have always kept a picture of you in my bag and when ever we had a match the picture would come out and Mitch and I would kiss you before our matches for good luck..our team ended up undefeated being leage champions and everyone believes its because of you and your blessings our goals and accomplishments came true. I miss you so much Jamie i cant start to explain.. Yesterday max took me out of class to tell me how much he misses you i couldn't help for anything but to cry along with him. It is hard to see max cope with the loss of his mother because he holds everthing inside and i can see it, but he doesn't want to let you go.. We all know you are watching over us woodford kids.. We all thank you for raising us to be good kids. We do believe i will see you again, but not yet.. you are always in my prayers and dreams Jamie and will forever be missed. I love you momma- *Your good Child, Nate*

Comments: 6 months is supposed to be a long time but it really hasnt felt like that, because ever since this summer ive felt like even though u r gone physically that u r here in all of hearts looking out for everyone of us like a guardian angel. this month has probably been the hardest one that ive had since june, just because it is the holiday season and u did a lot of stuff with all of ur many friends, my family being one of them. but my friend gave me good advise, and it was wierd because when he gave it to me it sounded like something that u would tell me, like u were trying to tell me through him, like a sign, silly i know but all the little things count now i see them more than i did, and it helped me a lot. he said that thinking of a life without that person hurts your soul but just because they rnt physically right there doesnt mean that they rnt in every moment of your life, dont forget because the best thing that you could do for them is live to the fullest in their memory and know that life is a precious gift. jamie u taught me that and i love u with all of my heart every day u have made me stronger and i thank u for that. i love your family for being so strong and loving, and i want them to know that i love them and if they need me for anything im just afew steps away. god bless you and i just pray that u dont stop teaching me life lessons, i never said it enough, so thank you

There is just an empty spot, you brought life to family gatherings. What is Christmas going to be without you...the memories are there. I already see you and Uncle Johnny playing around at the dinner table. You looking so beautiful as always. The boys running through grandmas house. The girls wanting to sit and begging to go home with Auntie Jamie and sleep in her warm cozy bed. Nate and Travis bringing mom gifts. The excitment of opening our gifts christmas morning at your house. All the smile, laughs, hugs and kisses...are now going to be tears and memories of everything you brought to a Holiday celebration. I know you are with me at all times, please help lead the way through rough seasons. I LOVE YOU!!!!! Merry Christmas xoxoxoxoxo

Comments: To My Queen: I'm sure you already know all of this (being the good guardian angel that you are), but Baby Jamie will be arriving sometime this July. Matty has named him/her "Crackers" while he/she is in mommy's tummy. Me, Mike and Matty walked in the Race for the Cure 5K this last October. Consciously reaching for the "I race in memory of" sign instead of the "I race in celebration of" sign was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. The tears came fast and heavy - so much so that I had to just sit down on the pavement and let them take over. A total stranger came and gave me a much needed and much appreciated bear hug when I told her about you. I have a wonderful wild mint plant in my front yard - I call it "Jamie's Mint." I talk to it as if it was you - that's why I think it thrives the way it does. I had some new friends over the evening of the walk and we used some of "Jamie's Mint" for mojitos. Homemade lasagna and that ooey gooey diet bread you used to make were also on the menu -- all in honor of you. I miss you more than words can say. Please keep watching over us, especially "Crackers." I love you. Love, Nettie

We shared some good laughs, great memories and even wore mardi gras beads (in shades of pink) Jamie would have had a blast. I walked proud on the cancer walk in the Desert wearing a t-shirt with her picture on it...one gentleman commented on how beautiful she was...if he only knew. The legacy she has left behind is beautiful. Jamie, thank you for just some of the lessons in life you have taught me: to laugh when things go wrong, to put others before myself, to take time for what matters, to love and above all else....to smile...no matter what. I miss you!

Comments: not 2 weeks ago i got into a car accident, i rear ended someone, and messed my car up really bad, my airbags even went off. i walked away from the accident with nothing but a buise on my arm from the air bag. at the moment when i hit the guy ahead of me all i could think was this isnt good, im probably hurt, and there was a lot more, but the main thing was that it could have been so much more serious and i felt that someone was looking out for me, my guardian angel. and then i remembered back to one of the days right after she left us, and i was sitting with her niece samantha and she was telling how they were so lucky (heaven being the lucky ones) because they just got the most beautiful angel that there ever was, and i know deep in my heart that she was there with me in my car keeping me safe. i miss you jamie

You were strength to all those that loved you. I'll miss you dearly. I know that God is laughing and enjoying your smile as we all did.

Comments: Dearest Jamie, You have been such an inspiration to all of us in the family, your friends, the neighborhood, and the community. You faced your cancer with tremendous strength and courage. You remained positive throughout great physical pain. You amazed us all with your grace and love of life. It was so difficult to say goodbye but we have solace knowing you are at peace and no longer suffering. As I walk around the house I see constant reminders of you in the presents you gave us from past Christmas and birthdays. We have many memories of you here that will last a lifetime. Jamie, you 'upped the bar' for all of us by your great taste in decorating, your flair for entertaining, and of course, your quest for fine wines. I now give myself permission to reach for the blouse at Chico's or the bottle of wine I really want, in your honor! I can see your smile over my shoulder. I wonder how we will face the holidays without your light and laughter. Jamie, you have left a wonderful legacy for all of us who loved you. Missing you, Noreen and family.

Comments: Mama. You are the best, I could not have asked for anything more than what you provided me with over the last 20 years. You guided me in the right direction; I intend to make you proud of me. The love and comfort you have given to me is enough to carry on forever and that�s what I plan on doing. You may have left us a lot earlier than anyone ever imagined, but you will live on through each and everyone of us you touched. As you all know my mom was a remarkable woman! She made everyone welcomed, whether it was her friends or the kids� friends...she would laugh and joke with them, talk and respect. Most of you probably know how much our family loved going to the beach; my mom would round up the clan and down to the beach we would go. Sometimes it would be a day trip others a stay over, but no matter what we always had fun. The car would be full of ice chests, footballs and baseballs, bats, gloves, volleyballs, boogie boards. While growing up all moms kids played sports...I played fast pitch softball for ten years, Max and Mitch have both been active in baseball and football for a number of years each. I remember all of us kids and mom went down to the beach and we were tossing around a football...I was amazed at how perfect my mom could throw a spiral. The boys now know where they picked up there talents for football. There were a numerous amount of children my mom had touched and loved so dearly almost as if they were one of her own. It made me feel so wonderful knowing that my mom had such a motherly instinct, other kids would call and talk with my mom or many of you know our neighbors one of the little girls thought Jamie�s band-aids fixed all not just any band-aid, it was just my mom she made everyone feel better emotionally and physically. I know all of this first hand I have experienced all the superb things my mom has accomplished in my lifetime. I will never forget I was diagnosed with endometriosis in October of 2002, I was extremely sick. I had been in and out of the hospital almost every other day receiving my nutrients through an IV. Meanwhile my mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer stage 4, she had sat us three kids down and told us that she went to the doctors because she had found a lump...immediately I started to sob. Once the conversation carried on for another twenty seconds or so Max began to really taken what was going on and he began to cry, Mitchie still a little young to completely understand was left a little confused. Mom staying strong in hard situations doesn't shock any of us and that is exactly how she presented herself, choking up a tinny bit she muttered, �it�s ok, I am going to go in for some treatments and we will see from there, but everything is going to be ok." She began her treatments which made her very tired. When I got news that I was going to have surgery, I wanted to tell my mom because I was scared, but I didn't want her to have to stress. Of course I had to tell her nobody could tell me it was going to be ok except my mom, she reassured me as always. When I awoke sitting at the foot of my hospital bed was my mom, sick and weakened herself, she found the strength to be there for her kids. She has been to 85% of the boys sporting events since she was diagnosed, she aimed to please her kids and make them happy as she achieved. Our last family trip took place this past April; my Mom, Max, Mitch and I went down to Palm Desert to visit some family and relax. We gathered up all the kids and ventured to a water park one day, when we returned to my Auntie Patti's where we were staying we showered and hung out and vegged. With my hair wet I looked at mom and asked her to braid my hair, I sat on the ground in between moms legs as she quickly french braided my hair, she had braided my hair for the first time in preschool and she never stopped. I had moved back home to be with my mom and care for her and my brothers, for the first two weeks my room was not ready so I slept with my mom every night. One night sticks out in my head...we were cuddled up in the middle of the bed together and trying hard to hide it I started to cry thinking about my mom and why does it have to happen to my mom. My mom cradled me as if I were her little new born. She always told me know matter how old you are you will always be my baby. That�s why every night I close my eyes I look up at you in the big blue sky and tell you I Love You! Because I know you are still watching over your three little ones and still providing a guiding light. �You Are My Sunshine My Only Sunshine You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Gray You'll Never Know Dear How Much I Love You, So Please Don't Take My Sunshine Away ..." that was our song when I was a little girl ridding with my mommy every morning on her way to drop me off at school we would sing that song to each other. I will always remember that song and one day hopefully I can carry that down to a tradition with my own kids. I Love You so very Much! And miss you greatly. Love Always Your Daughter XOXOXOXO Thank You for all you have done for me!

It took me a minute to realize I knew this person, and she was once a close friend. The rest of the Walk took on a whole new meaning. Not sure if you two would remember me, but I was married to a Jeff and have a daughter named Nicole. Nicole and Nicole were best friends until we moved to Folsom in 1989. I was rocked when I saw Jaime's picture and heard of her passing. My heart breaks for your family...lots of tears have been shed for you in the last 24 hours. If I can be of any support, please let me know. Love, Katie

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord FOREVER." To Jamie's family.. My hope is that you will have peace in knowing that Jamie is pain free, disease free, and residing in the loving arms of Jesus. Sincerely, a sister in Christ.

Everybody always had great things to say about her.(Especially Gil and Karen )I was diagnosed with cancer 1 year ago.I never let it bother me but this really hit home, since I just saw her about 2 months ago.

Even though she was on daily shots she was looking forward to her trip to Mexico! When I first looked at Jamie's website that was forwarded to me from someone more SPECIAL to me than she knows, there was barely 100 hits. Now over 7000--that should tell you something about Jamie and the people she touched. I barely knew Jamie, but some of the people I care about knew her Very well. My prayers are with all of you. We need to stop spending trillions to go to Mars and stop CANCER first! Something that is REALLY Advantagous to the human race. I'm so sorry for your loss and want to do something - I am hosting a fundraiser in Jamie's name August 8 11-2pm. All proceeds go to Breast Cancer Foundation and her Childrens Trust Funds. 408-644-0808 "Jamie's Candle Lady"

Comments: To Jamie's Family, We are deeply sorry for your loss. Jamie was such a marvelous person. We became friends with Jamie when we both had the privelege to work with her at Cooley for several years in the 90's. We have great memories of bowling on Fridays at lunchtime, playing on Cooley's softball team, and serving on the TGI Cooley/Social Events Commitee with Jamie. If Cooley had an "It Girl", it was your Jamie. She was admired for her personality, beauty, brains and style. Jamie had a sparkle to her. She was also admired for her ability to balance a demanding job with raising three active children, and making it all look so effortless. It was clearly evident that Jamie's children were the most precious part of her life. She absolutely glowed with love and pride when she spoke about Nicole, Max and Mitch. Jamie will be terribly missed, but surely not forgotten. The way she lived her life was an inspiration, and we are better people for having known her. God bless you all during this difficult time. Fondly, Dani and Dan Johnston

From the pictures and the things those who knew her wrote, I can tell you that to me Jamie seemed to be a beautiful person both on the inside and out. The few times I spoke with her on the phone she was always very kind. There is a specific picture of Jamie and a friend on a dancefloor that really moved me. She has lost all her hair, but yet the smile on her face is so brilliant and beautiful that she shines like and angel. It inspires me to see the strength and life in someone fighting such a battle, and it reminds me to cherish every moment. I thank you for that reminder. Nicole, my hope for you and your family is that you can take some comfort in knowing that you have that beautiful angel looking over you every day.

Comments: Jeff, Nicole, Max and Mitch, we are so sorry to hear of Jamie's passing. I have been in constant touch with Sarah over the past couple years since leaving Cooley and I was so sorry to hear that she was battling breast cancer. I had hoped and prayed she would be this terrible disease. I worked with Jamie for many, many years at Cooley and remember vividly when I was new seeing her in our neighborhood talking to Sarah and admiring her beauty, professionalism and energy. I wanted to be her friend as did everyone who met her. She was always dressed to a T and hair and makeup perfect and smiling. I remember all the Company BBQ's and Cooley partys and Sam and Jeff playing horseshoes while the girls would hang out and talk. The last time we saw Jamie was at Karen's wedding and she was having a fabulous time dancing and visting with friends. The pictures of her on the website prove that she was living life to the fullest until the end and I admire her so much for that. What a role model and inspiration to us all. I am so fortunate to have been a friend of Jamie's. I wish I could have seen her or been in touch with her during her brave battle. I know she is in a wonderful place where she can watch over all of us and is no longer in pain. I can't wait to see her again! You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad we crossed paths again after Cooley (never mind that it was only through emails and voicemails) even if our intentions to get together for dinner never came to be. I searched through my email account for any/all emails from you and I had to post one from earlier this year. You are a STAR that is always shining bright even if you've physically left this world. I am comforted at the thought that you are at peace and in no pain. I wish you're family much love, courage, and strength during this difficult time. I have no doubt you will always watch over them.

Comments: Nicole &Family- My thoughts and love are with you all on this day and every. Wow Nic, it seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for homecoming and your mom was doing our hair in braids and helping us get all done up and ready! Remember we would beg her to let us have sleep-overs on school nights? and she would always end up saying yes. Who would have thought that in such sort time her beauty and radiance would be absent from our lives?. Well I really can't fathom what you guys are going through or feeling with the loss of your mother..And such a wonderful mother she was at that! I just want you to know that I'm here for you whenever you need me..and only 10 doors down! Brent and I love you and your bothers very much and realize you are some of the strongest friends we've ever known. May God be with you and hold you close in this time of need. I can't wait for the day when we will see your Mom again, and I'll be right by your side till then!! Friends-Forever! Love, Marce

Jamie was such a wonderful fun loving person full of life and love! When I think of her I think of her huge smile and the fact that she was always laughing. I would also think Wow! Tall blonde and beautiful! Not fair! She was every bit as beautiful inside as she was outside. I know she is watching over everyone now from heaven. She will be missed. Love to all of you.

The tributes to Jamie say it all - family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances and friends of the family all sharing their feelings and memories about Jamie. I will never forget Jamie's smile, kind words and infectious laughter. The pictures of Jamie brought back so many memories of wonderful conversations during the 14 years at Cooley. Jamie will certainly be missed by all but we will never forget the beautiful person, inside and out, her kind and caring heart and larger than life smile. Jamie's sparkle will forever brighten the heavens.

Comments: I first met Jamie at the school. We were both walking out dogs (of course Jamie had both of hers!). Jamie was pregnant with Mitchie, in fact she was in labor. But the dogs needed a run and she had just enough time to take care of them before she went to the hospital. That was how Jamie was - she always made sure things were taken care of; kids, dogs, neighbors, house, job; and she did it all with a smile. Jamie; what are we going to do on Halloween - we are missing one of our "Witches of Woodford"? What will we do on Christmas - who will coordinate the Christmas trees? Who will take over the neighborhood bar-b-ques, the beach trips, the Costco runs? You were the driving force of our neighborhood and we miss you. We will keep things going because of you but it won't be the same. I'm glad you are in a better place but I wish I could turn back time. I love you! Linda

Jamie really made things happen and, though the effort involved long hours and hard work, she did it all with grace and humor and a smile on her face. We were all newcomers to the firm and Jamie won our hearts. God bless, Jamie.

Comments: Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, What will we do without you? Being married to your mom the last 16 years, I have gotten to know you and love you. In spite of everything it is still hard to believe you are really gone and we will never see you again. Your high spirits and good cheer are infectious. There are many lights in our lives, some brighter than others. We just lost one of our brightest lights, and you will be dearly missed by many. Now I know for whom they invented the phrase, �The good die young�. In addition to not seeing you throughout the year, how will we have holidays without you? As Lynn said, we will honor your memory and your spirit at the gatherings, but it won�t be the same. Nothing will be the same, it will all be different. We will go on, because that is what we do; but you leave a big hole that can only be filled with love and memories. We are not ready to let you go Jamie, but it is not our choice to make. Jamie, God bless you and keep you.

She valued her friends and of course her family. No one can ever replace Jamie but we can emulate how she loved life and live to the fullest because you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Always the first to volunteer to be the team mom, or the snack shack coordinator. You always handled yourself with grace, style, and aplomb, even after you found out that you were sick. If you were in pain it never showed on your face or in your temperment. We all owe you a great debt of gratitude for all the good that you have done for the kids whose lives you've touched. My boys Jim and Joe, both thought that you were a great mom to Max and Mitch. You were always a shining star on game day setup in the mornings, I never saw you grouchy even once at 5:30AM on a Sunday getting the snack shack ready to open for a full day of football. God loved you so much he took you early because he couldn't stand to not have you around Him. My heart goes out to Max and Mitch, and to Jeff. You are all in my prayers.

I could be pulling every hair out of my head (Alan's billing, the timesheets, the Records system, oh my!!!)and then Jamie would walk into my office. We'd dispense with business and take just a minute to talk about real life. Jamie loved to talk about her family. The kids were really little then and she always had a funny sweet story about their escapades. I am so saddened that our world has lost this bright light. But in reading all these wonderful entries in her guestbook, I feel so blessed that there are so many of us that were touched by this woman who was joyfully beautiful both inside and out.

Comments: I worked with Jamie in the mid-80s at Cooley (when it was still called CGC) but have not had contact with her since I left in 1990. I had relatively few dealings with her as I was litigation and she was corporate but whenever we chanced to interact it was obvious that she was a person of quality. It was a tremendous shock to see (in the Mercury News) that she has left for the Light and has begun a new journey. The outpouring of support to you must be tremendous and it is no less than I would have expected, as Jamie was always professional, well-liked and a blast to be around (1980s Partner/Associate softball games come to mind...) Deepest sympathy to her family and close friends on what is an enormous loss to all of us.

Comments: Dearest Jamie. You touched my life more than you ever knew. While working at Cooley, I tried to model myself after you; the happy, friendly, wonderful, true, honest person you were, and by being supportive to my co-workers as you were always so supportive of me. When I left Cooley, after a while I contacted you and told you I was seeking another job. You suggested Latham and made a call for me. I was basically hired just by your and Alan's recommendation. Once I moved to San Francisco, I didn't have a chance to see you in person, but I always kept in touch with you via email. We talked for about a year about getting together for lunch but it never happened because of our 'schedules'. The last email you wrote to me a couple weeks ago you said that everything was becoming just so overwhelming. My heart went out to you Jamie. We should all remember that no matter what, one should always make time for friends and for the people who mean a lot to us. Life is so short. Jamie, your strength through this ordeal has given us all strength in one way or another. No one has mentioned it in any of the postings I've read, but I'm angry. Very angry that you have been taken away from us, from your loving family and friends. I'm also angry that we can send someone to the moon, but there is no cure for breast cancer. So, I would like to mention your friend Janet Jensen. She has been such an inspiration in this fight against breast cancer and has worked/walked tirelessly for a cure for this dreadful disease. Janet, I will forever support your efforts in the memory of our friend Jamie. To all Jamie's family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jamie will forever live in our hearts and I will never ever forget her. Jill Wilkinson

Comments: Jamie, Your love for life, family and friends was apparent in everything you did. I had the pleasure of meeting you back in 1999 at Branham Hills when our boys, Doug & Max played baseball together. That was the first of many years of playing sports together. The boys were on the same baseball team a couple times after that and they played Pop Warner football together in 2001. Doug ALWAYS enjoyed hanging out at your house. You spoiled the kids with love and attention. Whether it was the boys hanging out together or you & I working together as "team moms," you were always willing to do whatevr it took to make sure things were running smooth. I didn't even know you were sick until I saw you one year at baseball. You looked great but you were going through treatment. I took for granted that you'd beat it and that I'd see you on the baseball field every season until Mitch & Matthew were too old to play there anymore. The last time I saw you was a few weeks ago on the "majors field." You were standing with Mitch & Nicole talking to a childhood friend of mine, Laure Evans. I talked with you for a few minutes and I remember when I hugged you & asked how you were doing, you told me you were taking things day by day and that "today is a good day." Well my friend, I hope that all your days are good days now! Rest and be at peace knowing that you, your children & your family are loved and in the hearts of all that knew you. Your kids are welcome in our home anytime and I hope they will call us if they need anything! Everytime I see them I will see you. The memory of you will live on FOREVER!

And I felt so saddened reading she has three children and they are now without a mother. But I also feel solace in knowing that they were the luckiest kids in the world having her for their mother, and to know that she is looking down on them as they go on in life.

Comments: Dearest Jamie: I have read virtually all of the other tributes to you and am not sure that I can add much to what are glowing reviews on the impact that you had on so many people. Not a surprise, since you were one of the most beautiful, vibrant, together persons I have ever known. For over 10 years we worked together. Our relationship was hardly ever just boss-secretary (unless, of course, I acknowledged that I was working for you). No, we were much more than colleagues--we were friends in the truest sense. I could trust you with any information or to do anything that took a sensitive touch. I could tell you my deepest concerns about the firm or our clients, and I knew that you would maintain confidences and help me to a conclusion. Yet, we laughed a lot and had a great deal of fun. We could joke about your WBs and my boxer shorts. And, since you were in constant contact with Agnes, I knew that I could never get away with anything for more than 2 minutes. Your expectations were always high--whether with respect to how you did your job, or which Coach bag or piece of jewelry I should bring back for you from a trip. I know that my practice thrived simply because you were my right hand--clients and colleagues continually and consistently raved about the way you managed them and me--always friendly, always with humor, always showing interest in them. You had a gift, and you used it so positively. I am glad that, while we could not be there with you at the end, I could say goodbye to you two weeks ago at the Palo Alto Clinic. Even though you were clearly weakened, you held onto hope and the future. Throughout this terrible ordeal, I kept saying to myself, how can she be so optimistic? How can she believe that she will defeat this terrible disease? I would have given up long before. And I am sure that you were with us longer simply because of that faith. Jamie, you will always be with me. I loved you and love you still. And rest assurred that if your children need help from us in any way, we will be there. Now relax, flash that beautiful smile of yours and rest peacefully and contently knowing how much you meant to so many people.

Comments: Reading the entries in the guest book I can see she was well loved but I didn�t need the guest book to know this. I knew long before she was diagnosed with cancer that the people in the guest book where there for her and she was there for them. Even after she was diagnosed she still made sure she was there for others. She never gave up living even the day before she passed she was still talking about going to Hawaii. I was fortunate enough to know Jamie for 38 years, do to the fact that I am her brother. Jamie was a great sister and a friend; no one could beat up her little brother but her. She was always there when I needed her from childhood to adulthood and I couldn�t imagine a life without Jamie. Even during hard times in our childhood she always made sure her little brother was ok. When I was sad she would stop what she was doing to cheer me up. I will miss Jamie and her smile, her Sunday morning calls to see how I am doing. Most of all I will miss just being with her. I was lucky enough to be with Jamie when she passed and her last words to me where �Hi Johnny I love you�. Those words and her last breath will be with me forever. My daughters ask me why God needed another angel and I can�t answer that because I ask the same question. Jamie was an angel to so many of us. She will be missed but not forgotten. She will live in my heart forever and the hearts of so many. I love you James�.

I have so many memories of you that I will always cherish - every one of them include your infectious smile, your impeccable sense of fashion (accessories MUST match), your love of good wine (but NEVER in a plastic cup), your unbounding energy and your love of life and family and friends. I am a better person for having known you. I miss you so much already... For just a moment I�m sure I saw a flicker of light ahead. Perhaps it was your smile. Though past now, remembered, in my heart like the small sound of a butterfly passing by. No night is so dark that can not be brightened with memories of you. Raindrops carry along your blessings from heaven to wash away my tears and bring me hope anew. I love you and will hold you in my heart always. Sally

Comments: My Dear Jamie, It has been three days since you were called away from us, and I must tell you that I miss you more and more every day. I miss your happy smile, your hearty laugh and your unselfish concern for others. It is very hard to understand why the LORD called you away from us, but I would equate His decision to one of a person gathering flowers from their garden, who wanted to pick the most perfect ROSE to adorn their house. Well the LORD picked the most perfect ROSE in his garden to make HEAVEN a more bueatiful place. I feel so very blessed to have had you be a part of my life for the past thirty-five years. I cannot begin to tell you how your unselfish and generous ways have impacted our lives. Among many, three thoughts have raced thru my head constantly for the last three days. #1 The day that you got the bad news that you would not be able to get well - you called our house and gave the news to Judy as I was at the park with Sheri's girls. Judy told me later that day when I got home. As disappointed and heart sick as you were about this tragic news, you called me that night to make sure that I was "ok" #2 When you had the Hospice meeting early in June, you gave Judy a lock of your hair to give to me as you were loosing yours due to chemo and you knew how I liked to save things that meant a lot to me. #3 Last and most touching, last Monday might, the night before you were called away, I came to visit you and as I was getting ready to leave I gave you a big hug and proceeded to "loose it". As sick as you were, you gave me a big hug and said, "Dont worry Freddie everything is going to be ok". Honey, I could go on and on about how much having you in our lives has meant to Judy and me but you know how much we LOVE you !!! Again, I am so greatful to GOD for putting you in our lives and we know that some day we will be together in HEAVEN !!! GOD BLESS YOU and I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH !!! Your #2 DAD

Comments: Dear Sister Friend, How I will miss you! You will always be a part of our family and you will be in our hearts forever! The stories and situations that the two of us shared during the 10 years that you worked with Alan will never be forgotten. Every day we would call each other to just say "hi" or to update each other on the latest news. There is no one else that could help me keep Alan in line like you could. Jamie, we had some great laughs together. One story that comes to mind is the time that you created the "neighborhood flag system" for Alan's neighborhood at Cooley. The flag system consisted of colored post-its that were placed on your computer that measured Alan's demeanor on a daily basis. A red post-it meant: Do not approach! Go back to your office! A yellow post-it meant: Proceed with caution! A green post-it meant: Go for it! Jamie, how many green post-its did you use during the 10 years? Maybe 3 or 4? Jamie, I think about you every day and I know that you are always near by watching over everyone that you love! I will never forget you! Love, Agnes

Comments: My dear Jamie -- I've been afraid to write, afraid from the hurt of missing you so much, but there are things to say to my friend. Funny thing is, I know what you'd be telling me -- you'd say "It'll be okay, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." You were our Jamie -- never complaining or feeling sorry for herself -- too busy consoling and comforting others. Your courage and grace while struggling with your illness were an inspiration to us all. Your life was such a success - your energy was unstoppable, your good deeds impossible to compete with, your love and friendship unconditional. You welcomed me into your life nearly 17 years ago -- a friendship that was a gift from God, and for now I'll give you back to him. I promise to catch up with you one day though, and when I do, please ask some of those newer angel friends of yours (there will be several, no doubt) to move on over, because we've got catching up to do. I miss you terribly, and will love and remember you forever. To Jamie's circle of family and friends -- who cared for her with the love and honor she so deserved -- how lucky Jamie was to have you there with her during her fight for her life -- she was honored, I have no doubt. To Jamie's children and family, you have my deepest sympathy over your enormous loss. Thank you for bringing Jamie into this world, and for sharing her with me. Love, Sarah Petty

Comments: I am one of those who are fortunate enough to say that Jamie has been a very dear friend for the past five years. We met in person while working to open Cooley Godward's Virginia office after years of working together on the phone. She did an amazing job coordinating the many details involved with such a big project and, as usual, charmed everyone in the process. Then, as many of you know, two years ago we were very fortunate when she came to work at Sutter Hill Ventures. She jumped right in took on the organization of the Entrepreneurs Fund events with creativity and energy and, again, charmed everyone in sight. At work, she was nothing short of inspiration during the course of her illness � she kept her bounce, her kindness, her positive attitude. Ninety-five percent of the time, if you didn�t know what she was battling, you would not have known she was ill. She is honestly one of the most vibrant, joyous people I have ever known, as well as one of the most beautiful. No one liked a good time more than Jamie � and I know those of you who know her know what I mean!! She was really �on her game� at her 40th Birthday party, wasn�t she? I will miss her joy in living, her laughter, her common sense, her sheer, infectious sense of fun, her sense of style, and most of all her friendship. I simply cannot believe she won�t be with us any more. JJ, Wendy: What great friends you were to her!! What fun you had together! Did anyone spend any time with Jamie and not laugh? Jamie had so many good friends because she took the time to BE a good friend. To Jamie's family: How wonderful to have had such a daughter, sister, aunt, wife and what an awful void she leaves. To Max, Mitchie and Nicole, you will miss your mom more than anyone; she loved you all so much and was so very proud of all of you. Keep making her proud!

You are all in my thoughts. I wish you peace and strength.

Comments: Vibrant energy, engaging smile, warmth and love; those are the things I think of when I think of Jamie. I have always been struck by her beauty, both inner and outer. We have been "baseball" families with the Calehuffs for years. Jamie was always at the head of the line for Team Mom! We'll miss hearing, "Way to go, Handsome!" when Max is at bat! Jamie loved her children fiercely, that was plain to see. Max, Mitch and Nicole: you are so lucky to have had her for your Mom. She is with you always in your heart and soul, that won't go away. I know she didn't want to leave her family and friends. She fought so hard and with such grace. God Bless each of you who loved her so much. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Comments: I'm back... to share that the whirl wind of emotions I've been experiencing over the past 24 hours has been, well, difficult. I can only imagine how those of you and her family are feeling and coping. It's a difficult time. I look through her beautiful pictures, read guestbook passages, see my old friends in the pictures and passages and sit up here in Washington wishing I could be down there with all of you. And through it all I have to rush off to get a Fed X off to Korea. The irony of life and priorities. I am grateful to have known Jamie and to know I can at least be with friends and her family and friends through this guestbook. Wow. What a time............

Comments: You dont know me, but I feel the pain and loss you are going through. So beautiful and so young. Sometimes life just doesnt seem fair. I didn't know Jamie, but I can feel the emotions of everyone involved as I lost my mother to cancer at age 50. I never have gotten over the "it just isn't fair" emotion. As most people have their own way of greiving and getting through such a loss, it will get easier, you will get stronger and life will go on, but the memory, the pain of losing such a beautiful and full of life mother, daughter, wife, friend... will stay with you....and thats okay. Just know Jamie is in a beautiful place, in peace, and always with you...forever and ever.... until you meet again.

Comments: This is such a hard message to write in finding the words to express my deepest sympathy to Jamie�s family and her many friends. It comes close to my heart and spirit being a breast cancer survivor myself, in wondering why such a beautiful spirit as Jamie�s was taken out of the many lives she has touched. I do know that she is in a better place. I feel sad that she is gone, but knowing she is no longer suffering gives me peace. I feel so blessed and grateful that I had the privilege of knowing Jamie while she worked at Cooley. Her radiant smile and energy always brightened my many days at work. May God bless all of us with the beautiful memories of Jamie. Lisa Ynzunza

I had the honor of working with Jamie and some of those friends while at Cooley. They were all more like sisters than co-workers. My condolences and sympathy goes to you all.

Comments: To Jamie's family, there are no words that could convey the depth of our sorrow at the news of Jamie's passing. And no words I am sure that could fill the enormous void that her death has left in your lives. We have no answers to why she is gone and no salve for your grief. We can only offer our prayers for Jamie's soul and that the pain in your hearts over her passing will soon be replaced by the enduring memories of a life well lived and of a special person who was taken all too soon but left such love behind. In a very brief period of time Jamie left her mark here on all of us in the Cooley Reston office which she helped to start. We are blessed to have been able to share time with her and, as is the case with countless others I am sure, far far better for the experience. God bless you.

Comments: I met Jamie while visiting Wendy in California. I have known Wendy for almost 25 years (hard to believe). I knew that any friend of Wendy's had to be special, and she was. Jamie was kind enough to come out and meet Wendy's old friends from the east coast and welcome us with open arms. And even though our time was brief, it made me feel great to know Wendy had made a friend like Jamie on the west coast. Being such and old friend of Wendy's, of course I worried about her moving out to California. Jamie took the worry away and I left California that year feeling Wendy had found a new home. God Bless her family and friends.

Jamie: I asked the lord to bless you as I prayed for you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way... His love is always with you and his promises are true, and when we give him all our cares You know he will se us through. So when the road you're travelling on seems difficult at best. Just remember I'm here praying and god will do the rest.
