I thought this would be a good place to put everyone's memories of Jayli. I hope to include a few sentences from people on how Jayli has touched their lives or a favorite memory that they may have of her. If you have an entry that you would like to have added, please email me. Hopefully, I'll get more responses and this page will be completed soon. Keep checking back....

Remembering....
My favorite memories are: first, when she was learning to walk. Jayli would grab my fingers and walk me circles around the house. She sure was eager to learn to walk, I'm glad I typically wear jeans or I would probably still have rug burn scars on my knees. :) We all know that Jayli liked books and I thought it was so cute how she would bring me a book climb up on your lap, flip two or three pages at a time (depending how well she liked the book), push the book away, climb down, get another book and continuosly repeat this. It seemed to make good entertainment because she sure had a lot of books. - Kirk

"My favorite memory of Jayli is when Tony would sniff Jayli's feet. This would make her laugh uncontrollably. It would make us laugh just because she was laughing! It was contagious!" - Tara Oosterink

One of my favorite memories of Jayli is when she came over for her 2 year photos. Most of my clients are afraid of my dogs, but not Jayli. Andrea and I tried to make Jayli laugh by doing all kinds of silly things. She just looked at us like we were crazy. The only thing that would make her laugh, was when my dog growled at her. She thought it was the funniest thing, and laughed such a beautiful laugh. I have always been amazed by how happy she was, in spite of all she had been through. Such a strong little girl, with a wonderful giggle and smile. I will remember it always. - Amanda Jamieson (Andrea's cousin)
