Thanks everyone for posting about your heroes and for sharing their stories. It's very touching to see how people that we've lost can still have such a tremendous influence in our lives.

Your story is an amazing tribute to an amazing person. Jaime and her two little ones have been in our prayers in Colorado ever since the loss of Greg. I am her cousin and unfortunately I have not been able to be a part of her life because of the miles that are between us. She deserves everything you wrote about her and I’m sure she is far too humble to admit it’s all true. She is a blessing to her children and family and her strength is respected by many.

What an awesome tribute to an indeed, unsung hero! Jaime is an inspiration to everyone she meets and even those she doesn't; she is especially an inspiration to us young mothers! She is an awesome sister to us and an awesome Aunt to our children! Jaime, you deserve nothing but the best!

Amy- Thank you for posting this wonderful tribute to an amazing woman and family! I have only known Jamie for a few years, but really you only need a few minutes to see that her strength, grace and beauty is undeniable. Our children go to school together and Kerri Ann & Gregory are just delightful, they share their mothers undeniable "light" and glow- It is hard enough to raise your kids in an ideal situation, let alone doing it in the face of such adversity and Jamie is doing a fantastic job! I never got to meet Greg, but I am sure he is with them every moment and I know he is beyond proud. And to Jamie; you seriously do deserve this! Amy is so right, you are my Hero too.

We all have heroes that have passed on to heaven, my daughter Christy is one of the many angels who watch over us all.
I never met Jamie or her husband but I'm sure that her husband was a remarkable young man and it takes a special person to live beyond the hurt.
In my case it's with me every day but the love we had together is forever present.

Paul, Kim, and Carol – thank you all for posting! It is quite clear that Jaime has plenty of heroes in her life as well! Her strength inspires me and I can tell that she gets a great deal of it from her loving friends and family!

Amy – I would reiterate what Kim has said. Jaime has been more than a daughter she has been an inspiration for Linda and me. I talked to Greg on father's day and found out that they had just learned that they were expecting. I marveled at how strong she was through the loss of Greg and how she handled the explanation for her daughter. The birth of Gregory Jr. was a miracle on his father's birthday and he does indeed look more like his father everyday. Jaime has been such a joy and a blessing to have in my life again. Thank you so much for telling her story so well.

Dear Amy- I don't know what to say other than Thank you for saying all of that. Jaime is a wonderful person. She couldn't be a better friend, and I truely consider her a sister of mine. I cried as I read your story and every bit of it is the truth. I think people like you commenting on Jaime are wonderful as well. She needs to hear how we all feel about her, and how blessed we are to have her in our lives. Thank you so much.

I so agree with you. We have many heroes and special people. My daughter, Jaime ,is certainly one of them. Each day she goes to work and stands strong for her children. My love goes for her and I pray each day that God holds her in his hands and is there to help her in her daily struggles!
