On January 17, 2004, we lost a very good friend in Jamie Levine. She will be forever missed and we set up this page as a tribute to the times we remember spending with her.

Mallory By Robin I just went for a good walk around the town - to the post office - library - and Kehoe - up over the bridge. I saw some lovely geese and thought about you. You are always on my mind and in my heart. I remember how you use to tell me " your so funny MOM" I miss you. You are always in my heart and on my mind. I wonder if you are sitting next to a polar bear? I love you jamie. sparkle sparkle I remembered it was the 17th and I knew your uncle Dave was dying. I thought now Jamie and Dave will be together! And we have the hope that someday we too will all be together. It is what makes living bearable! I sat and looked through the scrap book I made about you and cried as I read and thought again why so young was she taken and how much good she would have done on earth and that answer we don't have but I'm sure she was needed and perhaps spared from tragedy on this earth where we live but only a short time. I thinking of you Dori and Curtis and David and Grandparents and I send my gift of love. A song we sing is Everyone needs compassion, a love that never faileth, Let mercy fall on me. Oh how God love us! Auntie G Today your Uncle Dave went to heaven. I hope you are dancing in heaven. I can't write much now. I feel you near and I feel your strength and love. As always I miss you. A sad anniversary, a cold and rainy day to mark that day you left us. Our heavy hearts are lightened by memories of the love and laughter you brought us and the faith that we will be with you again. I miss you each and every day and love you always. Six years of dreaming through this life. So often noticing your absence, thinking, "If only Jamie were here." I want to talk, I want to tell you I love you and that you are missed more as time slips away. I miss the touch of your hand on my shoulder and looking over to see your smile. These treasures I will always have, but today, now, it comes back in a rush that you were here and then you were gone. If, by grace, we are eternally together after leaving this life, I want to sit on a warm fluffy cloud and talk with you and look at you and laugh together again. Love Always, Dad. Well, another angel anniversary tomorrow - doesn't seem to get easier, just different. We are just back from Thailand where we spent Christmas doing humanitarian work. Think of Jamie and Wayne often knowing both families still hurt.......... I was making pasta tonight and missing you so. Remember Dad's poem he wrote to you "Hello"? They printed it in the Compassionate friends paper this month. I read something in my healing after Loss book that moved me.--"It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." May this New Year-this turning into the next year, this milestone which has an aura of sadness because I enter another year without my daughter--may this New Year be for me a time of music. And if I am able--later, if not now-- may I hear in my heart the voice of my daughter lifted with my voice, to praise life, to hope for life, to join others on this circling globe in "Alleluia" for the experiences we have shared and share even now, and for the ways beyond time and death in which we are bound to one another in gratitude and love. all my love MOM Robin the painting of Mallory is " AWESOME " I took a wee trip to the cematery yesterday. Sweet Jamis died to young God bless you sweet angel .!! I am missing you so much, my sweet angel. I watched "Gone with the Wind" yesterday and thought I could hear you say " I think Charles Hamleton shall get it" It is hard to have the holidays bright with you here on earth. We talk about you all the time. Your friends are so thoughtful to remember us this time of year. I know you are here in this comfort room with me, but I can't touch you. I still see your footprints in the snow. I called Bloom's in New hall and they are going to deliver Christmas flowers to you tomorrow. You know what I mean--not in heaven but at your grave. Too many Angels. I miss you Jamie. All my love always MOM These lyrics from Loreena McKennitt's song Dante's Prayer always makes me think of how we were loved by you, Jamie, and how we continue to be tested by your loss: When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride day there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me I ran in to Lisa Merrill yesterday in the grocery store and she told me what happened. I can't believe it. I dreamt of you all last night and can't stop crying as I read these posts and see how much you are missed. I only knew you for a short while, but you were the purest, sweetest, funniest, most full of life girl I've ever known. You were/are adored by so many and it just breaks my heart to hear their pain. I ache to think of all the life that you missed- but I also know that you probably lived more in your brief life than many of us do in a 100 years. I will always remember you... Thinking of you my sweet daughter. I am wearing the sweatshirt you gave me. Thinking of your footprints in the snow. Dad and David and I miss you ever too much. Big polar bear hugs. Mommie Thinking of you today and missing you Jamie. The weather is cold, but our hearts keep warm remembering the love you brought to all of us. Love always. Remember on time.At band camp? Remember how we use to take Mallory to the beach? What fun we had. And remember on Middlebank when the neighbors dog-big headed Butch got in our yard and him and Mal got in the kitchen door and chewed up my new shoes and Dad's cowboy hat. I love you all so much. my cup runs over. Dad and I are going to play Bingo to raise money for project Santa. Love and hugs Momma jamie i am really missing you a lot. robin painted me a portrait of Mallory, it is beautiful. I feel like mal is close by when i look at it. there are so many memories tied together through mal. Robin did an amazing job with the paints. it looks like you could reach out your palm and get good ol love sucks. it makes me happy. i love you, jamers. oh yeah, mom and I have been doing wee jax together. you know maomma she has her own twist to it. i always think of you when we do it. i kind of wish we had down a family wee jax together. it is nice to hear from april. i think back on those days a lot we had huge fun back then. Love David jamie i love you It is so sweet of you April and you Julie to write here. You both mean so much to us. We shared some very special times. All though Jamie's life she had a way of touching people and making them feel loved. We wish you all the best and say hello to your MOM. I recall you girls dancing and dressing up. Thanks for the memories . Love Doris My name is April,Jamie and her Family were a huge part of my childhood. We had not spoken for many years and recently she has been on my mind. In an attempt to find her sadly I came across this site. I am shocked, and saddened by her loss. I have many great memories of her, and my years spent with her family. To all of you... Doris, Curtis, and David...I wish you all the best, I have never forgotten you, and I will always treasure our time that we had together. Love to you all... April Wish you were here with me. Cleaning out the closet, read some letters from 1999. I wonder what are you doing in heaven today? Your big brother is doing so good. I guess you got the news up there. We'll understand it all bye and bye. I got my hair done at Salon 70- and I have been walking everyday with Joani. Your heart is in my heart-my heart is in your heart. Always your Momma thinking a lot about Jamie today for no particular reason. How she used to hang her workout clothes on the doorknob to dry, of all things. And how I used to torture her in LA by refusing to turn the AC on in my car because I thought the car would overheat. She never said "Robin, you're stupid and insane" as she should have...she just looked at my pointedly while exclaiming how hot it was. Still miss the laughter - I never laugh like that with anyone anymore. It is cold out now - the leaves are all gone from the trees. Things change all the time but one thing stays the same and that is the way Dad and David and I miss you. Yes, we are always thankful for every moment we shared, but the longing to hug you is ever present. With the weather turning cold I put the flannel sheets with the moose on them on our bed yesterday. I was standing there looking and remembering you calling me from Target -- so happy you found the king size sheets with the moose on them. Remember moose tree bear tree.
