Jamie’s Personal Journey
This verse uniquely reflects the life and legacy left by Jamie Lynn Gilmore who passed away on the 20th of June 2019. She was 37 years old. Jamie was born in the Houston area in 1982. She was an extremely strong, resilient woman who was given the battle of fighting cancer since the age of 14. After being a pediatric cancer survivor, Jamie went on to live the life one would be very proud of, building a life with her husband, Garrick Glascock.
In 2002, Jamie gave birth to their beautiful, miracle baby, Mikala. Although Jamie continued to battle cancer relapses, she wouldn’t let it get her down. She juggled being a loving partner, a great mother, and a career woman all at the same time.
in 2012, after her fourth relapse, Jamie started the Jamie’s Hope Foundation with the initial intent to support research for her type of cancer, Acinic Cell Carcinoma, however, being the selfless person that she was, she didn’t want to focus on such a rare cancer and her desires turned to finding hope for all. The mission of Jamie’s Hope is to support personalized medicine research at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center while helping those directly affected by cancer and raising awareness on cancer prevention and early detection.
Pictured left: Jamie’s father, Earl Gilmore, surprised her when he too shaved his head. He helped turn everyone’s tears in laughter. Thank you to Tane Jones (hair), Wendy Martin (makeup) and Al Torres Photography for capturing this special moment in Jamie’s Cancer Journey.
