Jamie Breaux Hoopes

Jamie was blessed with beauty.
She was talented and imaginative with great compassion for God’s lesser creatures.
Jamie was strong in times of trial.
She was resolved in her love of friends and family and was grateful to GOD for the people in her life that were at her side.
Jamie was a Good Person.

BEAUTY
Her beauty was apparent at birth, undeniably feminine, truly a little girl.
Jamie’s Mimi recalls those long eyelashes from which Jamie’s beautiful eyes radiated.
Her mother Kim would be constantly approached by others to have another glimpse of her precious baby with the captivating eyes.
It is the family’s wish that I inform you that Jamie’s eyes were found to be healthy and will be received this week by someone awaiting the precious gift of sight.

TALENTS
As a child, Jamie’s imaginative spirit emerged and she enjoyed getting together with the “girl” cousins to play “Anne of Green Gables”.
On our Thanksgiving and Easter camping trips, she would organize little skits to be performed by all of the kids.
Jamie was also musically talented. This talent she got from her dad. She learned to play the clarinet and earned first chair in just her freshman year. Her parents were so proud of her for this accomplishment.

COMPASSION
Janie was NOT a selfish child. One cousin recalls that she always shared her beloved collection of Grand Champion Horses. The toy ones. They all had names and stories and, of course, “out-fits”.
Her compassion for animals is like that of her mom, Kim. Jamie’s compassion for animals was so great that she would have taken in every stray animal on the street. Even the ugly ones.
Jamie had a compassion for gardening. She would even feel bad for the sick plants at the office and would take them home to nurse them back to health.

DEVOTION TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Friends and family meant a lot to Jamie. She kept in touch with all of her school friends and included them in her wedding.
She was a self proclaimed “Daddy’s Girl”.
Rocky Raccoon was their song.
She will always be “Sissy” to her brother Andy and as he entered into adulthood, their bond grew stronger.
Her grandparents Paw Paw and Maw Maw together with Mimi and Dee held a special place in her heart. “I love you” will be the words they will miss from her.

STRENGTH
Although her walk through this life was short and in many ways yet to be fulfilled, Jamie experienced a life that was real.
Jamie had Real Joys and she experienced Real Pain.
There were painful times in her life with enormous challenges, but she proved that she had the courage to persevere. I believe courage is a beauty that often goes unnoticed.
Those who knew Jamie know that one of her most joyful times was when she and Brad planned for their wedding. Taking family photos with Christian was an important part of that special time. She was truly filled with happiness which was captured in her many pictures.
We recently spoke of her Disney Honeymoon trip to the Florida Keys. It was a time she long awaited for and in many ways she felt a great sense of personal achievement.
And on that day she was a “Princess”
She also took a lot of pride in redecorating her family home. She took delight in decorating and celebrating Christmas.
These were the simple blessings that made her happy.
Most of all, Jamie was blessed to have her son Christian.
To see Jamie, you need only to look into his eyes.

Christian, we dedicate this blessing to you.
An Irish Blessing by Unknown Author

I wish you not a path devoid of clouds,
nor a life on a bed of roses,
Nor that you might never need regret,
nor that you should never feel pain.

No, that is not my wish for you.
My wish for you is this:

That you might be brave in times of trials,
When others lay crosses upon your shoulders.
When mountains must be climbed and chasms are to be crossed;
When hope can scarce shine through.
That every gift God gave you might grow along with you.
And let you give the gift of joy to all who care for you.

That you may always have a friend who is worth that name.
Whom you can trust,
and help you in times of sadness.
Who will defy the daily storms of life at your side.

One more wish I have for you.
That in every hour of joy or pain you may feel God close to you.

This is my wish for you, and for all who care for you.

This is my hope for you now and forever.
