We spoke of our children and Michael and Jeri were very proud parents with much love for their son and daughter. At times like this it is difficult to make sense of such a tragic event and often search for an answer to the question "WHY"? Thank you for sharing your feelings about Jamie with us. Please know that Jamie, his family and friends are in the thoughts and prayers of myself as well as the entire Norwescon family here in Seattle.
