A beautiful voice was stilled yesterday when Jamie Byrd left us to join the Angels Chorus in that Great Beyond. A lovely person with a beautiful voice and a knack for spreading joy wherever she went, Jamie could light up a room with her mere presence. She had a special kind of laugh, one that could fill you with delight, and one possessed of a musical quality reminiscent to that of a babbling brook. To see her perform her wonderful songs was to be, literally, in the presence of Grace.

Jamie brought out the best in people, eliciting smiles on the faces of all who met her. To know her was a privilege and an honor. She will be sorely missed. Our hearts go out to her husband, Paul, her brother Alan and his wife, Michelle, and to her mother.
