FULL MOON MARGARITA MADNESS

With her strong ideals and passionate nature, Jaymewould have been in the thick of this year’s political conversation. While Jayme was a passionate debaterwith strong viewpoints, it was dialogue betweeninformed people that she valued most and societal complacency that she strove to shake up. As a youngleader who cared about many social issues, Jayme affectedthose around her. A Pinkerton Academy senior wrote hercollege essay about Jayme’s influence on her life:

“I admired her intelligence, creativity, optimism, awarenessand activism. I hope to aspire to her persistence andhard work. Jayme’s passions and aspirations of helpingothers through activism and education have instilled adesire with me to also take action. Because of howmuch Jayme had accomplished at the age of seventeen,I am convinced that everyone has the ability to changethe world, including myself.”

We are grateful that this student and so many others continue to share how Jayme touched their lives. Bysharing these stories and by funding initiatives that promote education, tolerance and human rights, wekeep Jayme’s concerned and giving spirit alive.

May Jayme’s memory and the memory of all those wehold near and dear, remain an inspiration to all of us…toalways try our best, to treat every person with dignityand respect and to cherish those we love.

Remembering Jayme

Thank you for your support…thank you for remembering Jayme.
