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. If you knew Jamie, please feel free to leave a comment below. If you have any pictures you'd like to share, please feel free to post links to view them or CONTACT US for info on the gallery. If you'd like to donate to a charity in Jamie's name, please check out Здравствуйте!Мне Очень понравился этот сайт! Великолепно!. Как у вас хватило сил на такую кропотливую работу для публикаций текстов и вообще подбора всего материала?! Желаю вам "Так Держать!" и не останавливаться на достигнутом, у Вас хороший потенциал! Предлагаю оценить так же мой сайт. I miss you. I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham. I hold my life in his saving grace. I would walk all the way from Boulder to Brimingham if I thought I could see- if I could see your face. Sometimes I think of the ocean, coming down to wash me clean, baby do you know what I mean. I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham, I would hold my life in his saving grace. I would walk all the way from Boulder to Brimingham if thought I could see your face.--I took some words from an old Emmylou Harris song I was listening to on my i-pod I wish the four of us were in the old Willie wagon going to get an ice cream cone. Your big bro is still in the hospital in San Diego.--WEE-JAX I love you both so very much, MOMMA In your eyes, in the very first moment, I could see the promise of God, And I will remember forever the peace that I saw there. Surely you have brought love and joy to heaven as once you brought them to earth. Thanks Grant. Tell us when the T.V. show is on. It is so cool that you will be the voice of a monkey. ( Havn't you always wanted a Monkey?) Is the song-The Rainbow Connection- from the Muppet Movie? I listen to it on my CD rarities, B-side, and other stuff . I hope every one is having a fun summer. It is smokey here from the fires. We saw deer right here across the street- Wonder what it will be like when the deer come home MOMMA? That is Levine speak , Jamie I hope you are riding wild horses and David I pray you get well soon, we will see you on Sunday. Hey All- Recently a few 'spam' messages have been making it onto the guestbook. There still is no way for me to catch these before they get posted but as soon I do get an e-mail everytime someone posts so I catch them pretty quickly. Just know that if you see a post that is an add for mortgages or something, I'll get to it as soon as I see it. Hope everyone is well. Friends are together when they are separated, they are rich when they are poor, strong when they are weak, and- a thing even harder to explain- they live on after they have died, so great is the honor that follows them, so vivid the memory, so poignant the sorrow........Cicero happy birthday, dorijune. np David is still very sick. We will be going to talk with the staff on June 3. Today we planted pretty flowers in the yard. It's a beautiful day I just need to hear Jamie and David's laughter. I will watch them on one of the birthday vidieos-she was so happy at partys. Dad planted pretty little flowers around your marker in the back yard the wind chrimes and dragonflies and angels all about. I know where you are my sweet daughter the flowers abound with all the loving animals and rainbows. Wee Alice takes flowers from her yard to your grave in Eternal Valley and Terri Gibbs goes too. Everyday with you was a miracle. Love and Polar bear hugs- Dori There are rare people in this world-who are always there to listen-with a smile and a loving, open heart. You are one of those rare people....how blessed I am that YOU are my daughter and friend! As time ticks ahead, it seems that the reality of Jamie not being here just simmers beneath the surface of our lives. It does not take but a thought, or place, or mood, or site, or sound, or circumstance to bring Jamie's absence into sharp focus. David is back in the hospital, and his care is up in the air. He is supposed to be moved to yet another place today, and he is so depressed. Truth is, we are too. Jamie's wisdom, guidance and love are missed everyday, but today is especially vacant without the sound of her voice, smile, touch, hug and her widom. I don't mean to be negative, but just need a place to express my feelings and how powerless and apprehensive I feel today regarding David's condition. To have but a few minutes with Jamie today ... Please keep David in your hearts and prayers. Love to all. I remember how much love and pride was in Jamie as she talked about you Dori. She was so full of love, and so special. I hope that on Mother's Day, of all days, that even though you can no longer feel her arms around you with one of her famous, warm hugs, that you feel the warmth of her love around you. I know she is smiling down on you, so thankful and happy that you were her mom. I am thankful everyday that I was able to have such a special person in my life. How I long to hear your voice and see your smile that lights up a room. And so I read your cards again and again the feel your love. I will get hugs from your big brother on Mothers day. Emily Dickinson wrote- Unable are the loved to die For love is immortality. The wind is blowing hard here and it is cold again. We got a call from Hanbleceya and David is back in the hospital. He needs your prayers. I wrote this email to Robin recently ... I may have told you this before, I am getting old and have never stretched my neck in almost 56 years. Any way our license plate says WEE-JAX and has a hand on it. Lately people have been asking me what does it mean. Which is nice cause it gives me a chance to talk about David and Jamie. Remember the movie BIG-Tom Hanks well David and Jamie like to do that hand shake and say Wee-Jax at the end, like the friends did in the movie, also David gave Jamie a silver band ring that says Wee-Jax Love Bro for her 18th birthday. Do you remember any of this? We had a grand time in Vegas with Grandma she can run circles around me any day. I just wish her dog Sammy would stop trying to hump me. Like Jamie use to say, you have to watch for it with Grandma Schwartz. The painting looks beautiful, she has a light on it. I want her arms around me so much. Jamie hugs were the best. Hope all is well with you guys. You know Willie Nelson will be at Murphys Ironside Winery on Sept. 5th. Love You Dori ........ This is Robins Reply ... Ha! I've been saying wee-jax to Zvonimir and he thinks I'm psycho for saying it. I told him all I know is it was something Jamie used to say so I copied her (as always). Now he says it. I have to tell him what it's from now!! :):) In honor of Jamie, wonderful friend and daughter.-One of the world's most amazing miracles is how far our true friends will go to give us the gifts we really need. And as only our truest friends could, they often give, without being asked, the thing we most need but could never ask for. Oh, have been listening to the Graceland CD, we all use to sing it in the car on the road trips. Love to you all. Dori Anyone who has the Paul Simon Graceland cd should listen to it and imagine Jamie and I making up words to the actual words we couldn't understand - her actually in tune and me somewhere else. She let me have the lead though, and was my backup singer and then switched as soon as I lost track of what I was supposed to be singing and sang whatever parts I liked the best. Best backup singer you could ever hope for. Thank you Grant, you are a dear and thoughtful friend . It seems we miss Jamie more each day. I was shopping today in Reno and I could hear her calming me down as I started to get upset. She told me I'll be OK. On the way home I listened to Call and Answer and thought of great times. You keep up the good work Grant, make em laugh, and come back to Reno soon. Love Dori Hi All. Just dropping in to say I hope everone's doing well. I wanted you to know I've revamped the main Throwing Toasters website, which meant a moving of the link to this page. But it's still there. Just in a different place. Just look for Jamie's name or just go straight to this page. It'll always me here. :) I was with you all day on your birthday sweet Jamie. We were in San Diego visiting David. He is having such a difficult time, but he is trying with all that is in him. We all miss you so. I wrote a few lines trying to express the way I felt on your Birthday: Your Day Again I remember when, You arrived on earth You explored this world You celebrated it all You returned your gifts ... and left us with Sweet memories. Such memories. Your Day Again Gone Home Surrounded By Love By The Great Unknowables God's Goodness Mercy Peace Happy Birthday Dearest Daughter We Remain Enveloped By Love By Hearts' Knowables Your Kindness Beauty Laughter Grace Gifts You left behind So that we may face Our time. Our place. Your Day Again I remember you telling me that Easter was your favorite holiday for decorations. Cute bunnies and chicks and all the possibilities of new life, all remind me of you at spring and Easter time. Happy Birthday and Easter sweet Jamie. You gave so much to our lives and we continue to feel your love and sweet smile around us. It's St. Patty's day, and that makes me think of you in Ireland I looked at the amazing photos of you and Jodi in St. Patricks Cathedral and on the River Liffey. Like you said-what a view.Life was an adventure on the Causeway and County Sligo and the Dublin Castle. I am so thankful you made these wonderful scarp books. We are going to visit your big brother David on the 22 23 and 24. I am looking forward to one of his big hugs. This year Easter will be on your birthday. I miss you my sweet angel. Love and hugs and kisses always MOM Hi Lori, nice to hear from you. It always warms my heart to know Jamie's friends are thinking about her. I recall the fun times you had together I remember lots of laughter. And you three were so young, I think you all had braces. We are blessed to have so many good times to reflect on. Not everyone has so much love. I hope you and your family are well. Hi Dori how are you? I just recently got in touch with Danica and we were talking about how sad it was that we couldnt get in touch with Jamie. Just wanted to say hi and let you know I still think about both of u often! Hope all is well! The sun is out-the sky is blue-it's beautiful and so are you. You are always with me. Love Mom Most times I am overwhelmed when the realization hits that I cannot see Jamie anymore. Sometimes, when I feel that way, I turn to this site and hope to feel Jamie's presence. I don't know who came up with the notion about time being some sort of healer. Nobody who has expressed their feelings on this tribute has stated that. You all know Jamie well enough to know that generality can not apply. Time, afterall, is just time, and does not seem to possess any special properties except that it passes and provides perspective. The moment, however, is something alltogether different than time. We can relive our moments - good and terrible alike. Moments are specific and connect our lives and recollections of precious shared times with Jamie and maintain a connection to the best part of my life. Sharing those moments most days with my sweet Dori connects Jamie to us both in a real and special spirit of love. As they always have and always will. Love to all. Next page >> |
