Paul Street Neighbor

So sad when I heard from my old friend, Joey Rinker that Jamie was gone.

My
most recent memory of Jamie was his beautiful smiling face encouraging and
comforting me and my family at my mother's memorial service back at
Thanksgiving.

Old memories include babysitting the Hedrick kids, Jamie in
diapers, back in the good ole days on Paul Street.

I can hardly fathom that
you are gone, Jamie - never forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with the
Hedrick family.

always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. I was so looking

God Bless.

I was so sorry to read about Jamie's passing. I had not seen him in year's but
he is a part of many of my memories from high school. He was so outgoing and
friendly to all. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let your memories of
Jamies help heal the sadness in your hearts. God bless.

Jamie was a wonderful person and I am so sorry that he is gone. It is hard to
accept. I know how much he meant to Bruce and Kim and Krista. I remember when
life was full of promise when we were young and free at heart in
Charlottesville. I'm sure he was treasured by all of his friends and family.
I will never understand why this happened, but I am glad to know he is at peace.
My sincere condolences.

his passing, but know he is in a much better place. We will miss you.

Classmate and Friend

I am so sorry to hear of Jamie's passing. Words cannot describe the shock and
deep sense of loss that we feel. There are so many good memories from childhood
through adulthood that I have of Jamie. His light of goodness burned very
bright, radiating his warmth to his friends and family. I remember how he alway
provided comfort to others with his smile and sharp wit! He was a true friend
in Christ, unselfishly sharing his love with others. Our prayers of peace and
comfort are with you.

Jamie touched our lives. Our 5 year old was VERY fond of Jamie. He gave him a
couple antique toys that are cherished. He is going to send some balloons to
heaven for Jamie. We are all thinking of your family and may many prayers be
with you all.

So Sorry

My condolences to all the Hedrick Family. Between the neighborhood, Spotswood
Elementary, HHS and First Presbyterian Church, the Hedricks and Lamberts saw and
shared much through the years. May Dr. & Mrs Hedrick, along with Rick, Mary &
Bruce find solace in that, Jamie was a good, kind person.

High School friend

I was so shocked to hear about Jamie's passing and so very sad for all of you in
his family. Jamie's smile was a bright light in my high school life. He was my
first date at HHS when I moved there in 10th grade!:) I have such wonderful,
warm memories of him and the Hedricks! Good times. I just can't believe his
light is gone. I'm sending lots of hugs and love to you all and hope each day
gets a little easier. No words can make sense of this loss--please know how much
you are all loved by those who knew him.
