Waldman then went on to say she met Jamie in 1992. “ I knew your picture before your presence. We were young together, there was a lot we didn’t yet know. And you shook my world.

“You called me out, you taught me, you gave me Hector, I tattooed your name and wanted to love you forever. We carry your imprint Jamie – Hector and I – and we remember you. And we are not alone, you meant a lot, to many. You are remembered. You are loved Jamie.

“Be at peace friend,” she beautifully wrote.

Hector said they have been taken aback by the outpouring of love.
