Jamie dedicated her talents to the field of Law. She worked for the Honorable William A. Parsons for 17 years while he was in practice and later for Rotstein & Shiffman. Jamie was a beautiful soul who loved life and lived for the happiness of her family. Jamie was the very essence of compassion. She never put herself before others. She would often go out of her way to reach those who were in need and never expected anything in return. With a smile that would light up a room Jamie exuded so much love to everyone around her. Her first impression was always a lasting one. As an avid animal lover Jamie enjoyed spending time at the beach reading and embracing family activities.
