We will never understand why our charmingly witty & intelligent young Jahmair had to leave us at such a young age. He had such a presence about him that touched everyone he came in contact with. He was gentle and kind, and always ready to be a friend. I remember him sitting and "reading" Spot books in the library 1 day, impressing all that walked by. I also remember carrying him out screaming a few times because he didn't want to leave!
Jahmair was my adventure every week. I never knew what to expect because he was always changing, learning, and blossoming. He was so blessed to have Ellen and Dan for parents as they put their whole beings into this little guy. As much as Jahmair gave to them, they gave to Jahmair. So as the famous quote goes...
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child." ...unknown author

Jahmair: The Perfect Little Man
Jamhair: You are an angel, a gift. We will never be far from you in our hearts. We will never understand why you had to leave us, but we will learn to accept it with time. Bless you for all of your wonderful help in making our lives a joy every day for 678 enchanted days. Love. Hugs. Kisses. (Sorry we can't help ourselves). Mom & Dad
To Beth
Angela was one of Jahmair's first crushes. She is the daughter of Jahmair's visiting nurse - Beth - who was an important part of his life in the past two years. Thank you Beth.
To Tess
Tess gave her heart and soul to taking care of Jahmair - Thank you Tess & Kirk
To Vicki
Vicki did more than take care of Jahmair during his first year with us - she was his first best friend and helped him develop a wonderful ability to engage in imaginative play . Thank you Vicki.
To Liz
Jahmair got to benefit from Liz's incredible skill with children - so did we. She also opened her heart and her home to him. Thank you Liz, Jake & Jesse
To the JCC
Every day Jahmair attended school or camp at JCC he came home with something new - be it a story, a new concept, questions never heard before. Thank you to all the JCC staff who made that possible.
