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 I just read about the bluebird and learned another part of Jamie!! She is still so much a part of so many lives, it is endearing to read. I'm sure this web site helps people so much. I always think of angels and dragonflies and Gerber daisies,even today I saw some beautiful ones when I was at the nursery and I thought of Jamie. I can see her smile even now. Love you all! Auntie G Jamie, you are never far from my thoughts and heart. Sunday, I was out walking by a creek and my thoughts turned to you. In that very instant a sierra bluebird landed on a fence post next to me and just looked at me. She had the most brilliant blue and auburn feathers. You always seem to be near, and I love it when you drop bye. You even let me take your picture before you hopped away down the fenceline. We had the best times at Mom's photo shoots. I showed Mom the picture of you just sitting there so peacefully next to me in that meadow, and she went into our bedroom, and came out a minute later with a package. I unwrapped a beautiful bluebird carving that Mom had found the week before when she was visiting Christy and Greg Baciocco. I wish that you could ly and see David. He misses you so much. We are still hopeful that David will find his way to a place where he will live with his heart happy, and his mind at ease. I miss you everyday, and always feel love and warmth when I think of you. I always enjoy when you visit me in your bluebird clothes. Love Always, Dad Jamie as soon as you could walk you were our tiny dancer, dancing our sorrows away. Sometimes when I am sitting alone with just thoughts of you I can feel you near. I miss David, he has been in the hospital for most of this year. We all love you and miss your hugs. I wonder what you are doing in heaven today? On Oct. 27th your Grandparents had thier 60th wedding ann- remember on their 50th we had so much fun making a poster with pictures from all the good old days. It is very lonely here without Itchy to rock and hold. Give him a hug from me. Whenever I see a dog I give them a pet on the head. Last week-end I went with Christy to Half Moon Bay and the kids were in costumes and so were some of the dogs. I saw Brandon and Greg we had a fun time. We have a card in the office here that you sent us on 11-15-03 you wrote how you miss us so much and you are so proud and happy to have each of us in your life. I love you so much my sweet daughter. WEE-JAX Mom Sorting through piles of pictures this week and missing you. Jackson Browne's song, Too Many Angels is in my head .... he sings of pictures in silver frames .... with young faces preserved from the ravages of time and "too many angels see me crying". Your loving smile is preserved in these pictures and our hearts. Miss you and love you always. Christy Today is the day, Robin Ann Blinde becomes Mrs. Sulic . We are so happy for the happy couple. I know there will be lots of dancing and love and laughter in the room. And then they will be going for 14 days to Hawaii for the honeymoon. Honeymoon, don't you just love that word. Love to you. Dori and Curtis Missing you more than ever. Dad and David and I went Reno today and sang along with BNL greatest hits. I love that line-One minute your waiting for the sky to fall-next minute your amazed by the beauty of it all. I remember when we first listened to those songs. We always sang along loud to the "good boy"song and I ask you what a "hair shirt" was. And now I know for sure as I sit here and write this in my hair shirt. It has been five years ago that your Grandpa Danny went to heaven. We called you in Canada and you and Wayne were in the market. Grandma talks about how you slept by her and held her all night. We all miss you so much! Love Mom One of the best things about having a true friend is that no matter how far away they are, how long it has been since you've spoken, or how much has happened in each of your lives, they are never really gone from your heart. They always remain a part of your life--whether you see them every day or only in your dreams.--I miss you so much Jamie-today would be a perfect day to wrap my arms around you and then you would laugh and look at me and ask- Are you OK MOMMA? I got an e-mail today from Jill, I had sent her some photos of you and Wayne. She is a very sweet lady. No bear. A pollywog, humongous tree, and and geese are part of different songs, though. It's a fun CD. Pix sent tonight. That is so great that there is a BNL CD for the kids! Is there a song about a bear on it? I am so thankful for friends and family. It is wonderful to have David home we feel Jamie close in our hearts. Rich can you e-mail us a pic of Isabella? dorijune@SBCglobal.net Happy Birthday Jodi! Good luck David! That's so great that you're out. I was thinking of Jamie and all of you as I got the BNL kids CD a couple of weeks ago for Isabella--her Aunt Jamie would be proud. A happy birthday wish to you Jodi ! ... I know I am a day late, but it's the thought that counts. David is out of the hospital after 2 1/2 months. He is tired but is back home safe. I wish there was something I could do to change all this, make it easier for the ones I love, but it seems that life just IS. I feel as if I participate and spectate at the same time. No other way to describe living these days. I hope everyone is well and having a good summer. Love to all. 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 Next page >> |
