M, you are one of the kindest women that I know! You were interested in my brother and SIL's journey to Germany and Lebanon to work with refugees and encouraged me when I was upset to see them go. You were so gracious when A's Christmas gift took forever to be delivered, and dealt with my thousand emails so well. You are such an amazing woman and we are so lucky to have you in our lives. The love you have for your family is so beautiful!
It's obvious how much you love your family. You've always got kind words to say to everyone here. From the pictures you have shared, you have such a genuine smile.
You pop into my head during the most random times of my day. For example, when I'm packing Madison's lunch. I think of you when I put anything into a ziploc baggie because of how you reuse them in Jamaica. It's such an odd time to be reminded of you but it always puts a smile on my face.

You are a beautiful person on the inside and out. You are so intelligent, and successful, but also sweet and kind. You have a beautiful accent. You are always supportive of others, I hope that you are able to take that support now that you need it.
I always read your screen name as jama-cam although I know logically it is Jamaica-M .

She is literally never a bitch on this board, which I certainly cannot say about myself or a lot of us here. She is always kind, always supportive and says her mind without being hurtful to others.

She is so articulate, so brilliant, so strong, and so kind. She has always impressed me with how knowledgeable, world to, and compassionate she is at every turn. I am constantly impressed with how effectively she can debate so many topics, while being kind and respectful of so many viewpoints.
And when I was struggling, having such a difficult time in Tennessee before we left here, she sent me a care package across all those miles just to make me smile and brighten my day. Such thoughtfulness and friendship is second nature to her, and I cannot thank her enough for always being that way with all of us, all this time.

She is so kind, so funny, and is so so supportive. I find your perspective on things to be fascinating and I love when you chime in about your experiences.
Your love for your boys and family is undeniable and your dedication to your community is as strong as I've ever seen.
Oh man what is there to not say about M. She is sweet and caring, a great mom, a very smart woman. And beautiful to boot. Never a bad word to say to anyone, always there to help. Just a truly top notch human being. ❤️

I was thinking the other day how I don't think there's ever been a post where someone's looked for support, or needed a kind word, that Jamaicam *hasn't* posted in. She is always there to lift us up when we need it most. She's so incredibly kind. We are so lucky to have her as a part of our community.

It seems like an odd thing to compliment, but I've always admired how she's managed her work/life balance. She holds down a full time job, is raising two amazing boys, and seems to manage a wonderful social life as well. AND she pulls all of it off with such grace. I don't know how she does it. I just assumed that days in Jamaica are 30 hours long.

M is one of the most caring woman here. She always has great advice and she is always so kind and compassionate. I love her view on international news because of her different experiences.

She truly has the kindest sweetest soul. I was lucky enough to have had some drinks with her this past summer and I just adore her. She's witty, funny, beautiful and has that amazing regal British accent. She's selfless and adores her family.
M's posts always make me smile. Those boys are just the sweetest things and I'm always impressed with how gracefully she handles her work and family life. I try to be more like her in that respect. She is always there to lend a kind word or life someone up and she is an integral part of this community.

I had the pleasure of meeting M this summer and I fell in love with her instantly. She is the type of person who just feels like your best friend, I could talk to her for hours (and listen to her talk- I love her accent!). After meeting her I really felt like we connected and I wished we lived closer.
She is such a beautiful person inside and out and her love for her family radiates through her.
That smile! You must light up every room you walk into and everyone must gravitate to you - you are so warm and kind and inviting. You have the best stories and adventures and are such a delight and pure joy to listen to and hear your opinions. Besides your charismatic personality you are so smart yet fun and such an adoring mother who would do anything f for those beautiful boys. I love hearing about everything you guys do and love your perspective on things.
You are such a ray of light. A strong and beautiful person and friend. It's a great testiment to how much everyone loves and respects you with the outpouring of love.
I adore Jamaicam, her posts always have that fabulous mix of intelligence, sensitivity, and humor with a bit of British flair. I appreciate her unique perspective. I love her laid back approach to parenting too, I remember an awesome post about Aidan playing in mud puddles and eating mangos off their tree, she just sounds like fun. She has been nothing but lovely and supportive to everyone here.

M is always one of the first to offer support and love in our low points, and always so genuine and positive. Her love for life as a whole shines through her and is being shared by each of us a little more each time she posts.
Post by monarobinson on Sept 29, 2016 6:35:49 GMT -5
Jamaicam is hands down one of the classiest and most graceful women I have ever encountered. Her posts are thoughtful, intelligent and so supportive. This board is a better place because of her. I truly believe that.
Post by browneyedhunni85 on Sept 29, 2016 6:53:38 GMT -5
She has always been nothing but kind, even when things have gotten crazy on here. She is a loving mom and friend. I'm so glad to call her a friend. She rocks!
I also love her British background because I have lots of family still there and a mom that is from England.

M, you have the most beautiful smile! I have never met you in person, but I can tell that you light up any room you are in and make those around you feel welcome. Your smile for sure shows what a beautiful soul you are.
You are also so incredibly sweet and a kick ass Mom.
Post by PatBenatar on Sept 29, 2016 7:23:07 GMT -5
Just from reading her posts, you can tell she is kind, respectful, and loves her family fiercly. I enjoy hearing about her life in Jamaica - she brings a great different perspective to the board. Also she is so respectful to other posters.
Also she is a strong and awesome mom that raised some equally awesome boys. I know they will all find strength in each other in this difficult time.
She is always so kind and is a wonderful mother to her boys. She has always been so sweet and supportive through everything Emerson and I went through. Her positivity really helped me some days and I'll never forget that.

She is always so caring for others and portrays herself with such poise and dignity in her posts. It's so obvious that she loves her boys so much and is a fantastic mother.
Although I've never heard her amazing accent (but I'd love to!), M has touched me over the last couple years. She has been a HUGE cheerleader when I was dealing w B's diagnosis, and has cheered us on every time I've posted an update.
It's not just me though- as these posts are a testimony, she does that for everyone. It's just who she is. She has never had an unkind word for anyone, and continually displays positivity, grace, and integrity. We are such a better place for having had you in our lives. I feel grateful to 'know' you even if we never meet.

I've always enjoyed her perspective and experiences that she's shared here. She's smart and beautiful and of course an amazing mom to two amazing boys. I hope I get to meet her someday!
Jamaicam is hands down one of the classiest and most graceful women I have ever encountered. Her posts are thoughtful, intelligent and so supportive. This board is a better place because of her. I truly believe that.
I'm going to second this, as this is what I was thinking. M, I have so much respect for you, and am in awe of you.
