I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Jamie. My son (Brian Bell) who grew up with Jamie shared the sad news with me as I no longer live in Charleston. I can still so clearly remember those days and those sweet (sometimes mischievious) little boys together. May God be with you. Vickie Rhoads

Jamie was my oldest and dearest friend. We had so many great times over the years. I loved him with all my heart and will miss him so much. He was a joy to be around and always made me laugh. Rest in peace my dear friend. May God be with your whole family in your time of loss.

I am very sad to hear about James. We went to high school together. He was always very nice and fun to be with. He had an incurable smile; that's what I will remember about him. May God be with you and see you through your grief. Marilyn Clifford
