Dear Joanne, We were so saddened to hear of Jamie’s passing. May the angels be with her and may God comfort you.

I would like to extend my deepest, heartfelt sympathies and condolences to all members of the Sawan and Ward families. My name is Phillip "Phill" Whitted. During the class year of 1996/1997, I briefly attended Conestoga Valley High School. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting Dana. (As well as, Victor Reyes, who I believe may have been the person who actually introduced Dana and I.) Anyway, not long after that, Dana introduced me to her sister Jamie and despite the fact that we all weren’t close friends, we had the opportunity to hang out together occasionally and share some good times. Jamie was such a sweet and fun spirited person. Her smile lit up the world and her caring and giving nature was incomparable. Jamie will always remain in my heart and memories. Again, my Heart goes out to all of the family and friends of Jumana "Jamie" Sawan, May God bless you all. (phillipwhitted@yahoo.com)
