Jami Ann Fisher
is honored with a Large Paver from Mark G. Ayesh
Our Precious Jami Ann
God graced us with Jami on November 21st, 1983 and took her back home on March 27th, 2009. Jami was a light in the life of everyone that encountered her. Jami was among many things; a loved daughter, sister, granddaughter, artist, reader, author, singer, model, designer, decorator, and most importantly in her eyes, a loving mother to her young baby Anton.
A shy tom-boy as a young child, playing with army men and fishing; Jami blossomed into the beautiful, vibrant, intelligent young woman we all know and love.
She loved animals, and as a child it was not unusual to find a turtle, lizard or stray dog hidden under her blankets when approached for a kiss goodnight. Jami's passion for animals continued on to adulthood and she mothered her dogs as though they were her children, naming them as only she would, 'Barbie' and 'Precious'.
Jami also loved horses and took riding lessons as a child. During a stay at the Renewal Ranch not so long ago, Jami was eager to ride. She was up early that next morning with bells on... her love of pink was certainly apparent in her dress for the ride. Jami had on pink cowboy boots, pink shirt and a pink cowboy hat. The ranch hands loved it!
She was a fashion diva. Jami loved color and always dressed with her own unique style, looking beautiful with or without make-up. A true natural beauty.
Jami loved being surrounded by family and friends, contrary to when she was a child who hid behind her parents legs to avoid unsolicited 'hellos' from others. She was truly content when all those she loved were present together, making every holiday and get together fun and memorable.
Jami had a true zeal for life and lived it to its fullest, always on the go and traveling whenever she could...sometimes picking up and flying to Florida or Hawaii on a days notice to enjoy new places with old friends. But we could always keep up with Jami because all that knew her well, knew how she loved to text photos depicting all of her daily doings. It was not unusual to receive up to 10 text messages and pictures a day; usually with a strange and funny caption for each. Jami had her own way with words, even nick-naming all those she loved.
In 2005 Jami became engaged to the love of her life. The Diva and jet-setter Jami who vowed never to have children learned of her pregnancy in 2007, her life was forever changed. An avid reader, Jami immediately started reading every book available to learn how to be the very best mother possible. She ceased all medications and adhered strictly to written recommendations to assure a healthy baby. Jami gave birth on August 12th, 2008 and from the moment Jami laid eyes on her baby Anton, we watched her transform into new woman, more tender and nurturing than ever, appreciating of all life's beauties and those she loved more every day. She found herself and ultimate happiness in her baby and a peace that only God could render. Jami took the responsibility of the sweet little spirit God had blessed her with seriously and was eternally grateful.
Of course, this new joy in her life meant more texts and pictures on a daily basis from Jami and were welcomed by all. We all got the pleasure of growing with Jami and were blessed to watch her baby grow each day through her constant contact. We find ourselves still looking at our phones hoping for a new text from Jami with the latest images of her and her baby. She was so proud of her son and a most wonderful loving mother.
Jami loved much and is loved by many. Her unique and joyous personality will be deeply missed. No one could ever replace our precious Jami Ann. Now she will be ever present with us and watching over all of us she loved so much.
To my dearest Son, if I only had a wish for you
I'd wish away your tears to come, shelter from the coldness I've known
Hold your hand until the end of time,
Live the song of a love lived life
Believe in the stars as they believe so much in you
Read you memoirs of the tales that have created our time
Hug you in the April rain and watch each drop trace your remarkable face
Breathe in the dampness that sweetens a longed embrace
Enchant your mind with intellectual banter
Watch you smile as we fly higher and higher
Into the realm of a reality, that would only exist between you and me
Drive you to be everything everywhere; making you see that the world isn't fair
High hopes of solitude will create you, and love will find a way to shape you
If ever I had a wish for you, I'd wish you were here while I raised you
Watching me totally in love, infatuated with the most blessed innocence
Seeing how much you meant to me from the day you were born
Until forever more, how I light up at the sight of you
Every inch of you completes who I am supposed to be
Thanking you for making me just me, I am so honored to be your mother
My wish for you results in many things.
Above all, I know in my heart you'll always have unconditional love
And that my son helps me sleep at night,
Your perfection gives me life
The breaths you take between your sleeping sighs
Make me high as a queen, in the dead of the night
Countless nights I have stayed awake so afraid to miss a look of your precious face
Afraid to miss an irreplaceable moment
Afraid you will open your eyes and not see my face,
My wish for you is just simply know. I love you completely, body, mind, heart, and soul.
You are my son. My son you will always be.
~ Mommy
