My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Jane
Jean,
I am so sorry to hear of Jamie’s passing. I know he was a wonderful person–coming from you he couldn’t be any other. May God bless you in a very special way. I am praying for you. Love, Jean (Hollar Lankford)
To Jean and all the rest of Jamie’s family: Although you know how much Jamie meant to me I need to tell you. I need to tell you but don’t know the words. Jamie & I had a special bond – he had been around us as Anthony’s friend for so long I came to love him as a son. He knew it too. It was my choice to have him escort me down the aisle at Anthony’s wedding and it was obvious he felt special – as he was. I talked to him many times since then by phone but the selfprotection part of my heart wouldn’t allow me to visit him in person. I feel deep down inside he knew this too. I’ll always remember him as a handsome, kind and loving person who had a special place in my heart. My heart breaks for you in his absence but my prayer is that we can soon come to rejoice for him in that he is whole, happy, pain free and just waiting to welcome us to his new home. How blessed I am to have had him a part of my life. Love, Patsy
To Jamie’s Family,
I have not been in touch with you all in quite some time, but my parents told me today of Jamie’s death. Jamie and I were friends growing up for a few years and I remember our time as friends with fondness. Please know that you all are in mine and my families prayer during this time of grief. God Bless you.
I would just like to express my most sincere condolences to the family of Jamie Conner. Jamie and I grew up for several years in the same neigborhood in Asheville in the Bent Creek area. I remember very fondly long hours playing in the Pisgah National Forest with Jamie, Dwayne and my cousins Scott and Alan. I hate how time separates people from their pasts. My prayers and condolences go out to the family. ~Gretchen Huff
We were very sorry to learn of Jamie’s death. We have such fond memories of he and Dewayne playing with Doug and Danny when they were young. He was always the sweetest child and we were always glad to have him at our house. He was just like one of ours when you lived behind us. We would love to hear from any of you and we have let Doug and Danny know of Jamie’s death. We are so sorry and and pray that you will have peace in his death.
Although I didnt personally know Jamie, I know he is in a better place.I am a friend of his Aunt Judi and she loved him so much! My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. May God Bless You!!!

May God give you the strengh you will need in the days ahead. God Bless.
