What a huge talent. I've had so many people through the years ask "whatever happened to Jamene". People remembered her big voice. People
remembered HER. They always wondered how she could have missed making it big. I'm glad I got to know her.

Does anyone know what happened? I spoke with Jamene at the While We Still Can Reunion in '06. Fazz, I echo your sentiments - this really is upsetting.
Another mega-talent from our music scene is gone... so sad.

I've watched Jamene leave her indelible mark on the South Florida Music and it is sadly diminished by our loss. Bye, Jamene we got know each other briefly
and almost got to play together. That would have been Jamtastic.

Does anyone know what happened? Jamene( Germ ) My Sister!! | ||

Posts: 12 (10/02/08 23:31:49) |
, Yes I DO Know what happened!! Hit me on the Private inbox mail. or Aprilsnow418@aol.com I am trying to gather upat
least $600.00 for her cremation as she wished. She is in the Broward County morgue & I have until Oct 10 th to get her out & to a funeral Home. So that
I can be issued her Death Certicficates. I am keeping a mega tight ledger for all Donations . I need the peoples names, the date & the amount & in the
memo of the checks State what it is to be used for whether it is for her cremation, electric water etc etc ........ a benefit concert would be awesome. Only
it wouldn't be able to get the donations from it in time So I am truly in a bind ( Please make a Copy for your self as well. Then I can put it towards a
Claim against the estate & present all the LEGAL Paper work to the PROBATE Division of the Court System....... This is So OVERWHELMING for me to have to
deal with this . But I am the POWER of ATTORNEY. There is no Money at this point & time. I am on disabiltity due to the type of epilepsy I have. She a had
a few loose ends of legal things to tie up. Then the house was going to be sold & then she was going to be living @ my house in the country & take
care of me & get BACK into the MUSIC
Thank you for you comments God Bless You & Yours & GODSPEED, Candy xoxox Jamene's Little Sister I Miss her so Much That it is Indescribabl;e. My daughter & my Grandson are totally freeking out . I am TRYING to maintain! When no one is Looking I am crying my eyes out 1 & My heart is now HALF VOID. We completed each other sentences . were twins We had that Uncany Pyshic bond most twins have, we have had it together since we wer about 10 to 12 yers old, until She went to Glory! I still hear her............... She is at Peace & She is in Charge for the Choir Above! AMEN !!!! |

Thanks Gary, Hard to believe, I can see us sitting in the High school cafeteria singing together .
It was late 60 early 70's. When I turned her onto Peter Paul and Mary's The Great Mandela. She learned the entire song solo and sang it with such conviction. "Take your place on, the great Mandella, as it moves through your brief moment in time. Win or lose now, you must chose now, and if you lose you're only losing your mind."Val Everyone I know has a story about Jamine.

I have contacted the Miami Musicians Local 655 and Duane Hitchings who Jamene said she was going to nashville to work with. Will someone please tell us how
Jamene passed. I think it needs to be stated for all of us to heal. Peace, Pat Maguire

Jamene's death will not be completely investigated for 90 days. That is when her toxicology report will be finished. Broward County medical examiners
records are public record. Her boyfriend found her about 2 or three Saturday morning when the police came and whe was pronounced dead. Her heart stopped. The
report has not been completed as to why,
She has no livining biological family and so it is a little complicated. Only a step mother and step brother which she was NOT in the best relationship with. I would to thank Candy for referring to Jamene as her sister to remind all of us that in the Lord's eyes we are all brothers and sister. If no living relative is found in 90 days We can make claim to her remains. Thank you, AnnDee Kimple Rucker all the FACTs can be confirmed by the Broward County Medical examiners.......her case is pending. NO ONe will know any more for 90 days. If you would like to inquire her name is Lydia Jamene Miller. Thank you all for you interest. I am the ex-wife of Greg Kimple. As you all know Greg and Jamene had the band Fantasy. |

R.I.P. Jamene. I didn't know her except for the lounge, which brought both of us many good times and laughs. I am however a little confused with Candy...the "Twin" sister...but do appreciate AnnDee staightening it out...although I myself would not have
expected all to view Candy's statements as we all are brothers and sisters in the Lord's eyes and in the same breath asking for $600 for an immediate
cremation...as her "sister". JMHO....$600 is not a large amount of $$$$ and would imagine Candy and her local friends could make adequate
arrangements for Jamene without looking to the lounge for assistance. I do not mean to sound synical with this...but Candy...your post just left me cold.

Lets hope that this gets untangled soon so Jamine can rest . I am willing to help as soon as we all know who to help or even if help is needed. All i know is
Jamines' honor and memory should be left alone and let her music and talent speak for her life. Is says tons.

Beautiful Jamene; One of A Kind. | ||

Jamene's life is to be celebrated. I know she wouldn't have wanted sadness, she spent so much of her life giving joy. Mourning Jamene should be done
through a celebration of her life, the world was fortunate for her existence, and we, privileged to have lived in her time. There is enough time to organize
some kind of benefit in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. There will be plenty of people willing to help, because while she walked among us, she left her indelible mark.
But this should be planned now. Someone has to provide leadership. Jamene was not only a singer but also a musician as well as an entertainer of the highest
caliber, and in a higher sense she was an artist. A consummate artist, and as artists do she suffered because of her extreme sensitivity. These last days have
been difficult ones for all of us who loved her. As for myself the joy of having known her and known of her immense capacity for love and empathy, will stay
with me until the day I am no longer here, and perhaps even beyond.

I am David Bronstein aka DeeBee. I have offered the use of my law firm's trust account to gather the necessary funds to get Jamene's remains released
from the M.E.'s office and transferred to a cremation service. Candy agreed with this proposal since not everyone here knows her or feels comfortable
sending her money since they do not know her. I have spoken with several more of you who agree that my firm's trust account is best as well. I did not know
Jamene, having traded but a few private emails here and speaking with her once about 2 years ago, but will safeguard these funds and make sure that they are
only disbursed to the cremation service or, if we do not get enough, returned to each donor.
Here is the problem: Per Candy, a total of $600.00 is needed by Friday for a cremation service to pick up the remains from the M.E. If the remains are not retrieved by then, they are subject to disposal by the M.E. as unclaimed remains at any time.Candy has received donations of not much more than $100.00 as of Monday night. From what I know from speaking with some of you, Jamene's only known next of kin is a stepmother named Chris Miller (her father's widow) who lives somewhere in British Columbia, Canada. We need her contact info if anyone knows how to reach her so that she can be informed. This is essential so if anyone knows how to possibly reach her, please advise. I am not a probate lawyer and would in no way be capable of getting involved in solving the myriad of legal issues I see, nor has anyone hired me to do so. However, I do have a Trust Account and can handle the short term issue of safeguarding the donated money so that everyone knows that their donation will go to its intended destination. If you can donate any amount, please make it payable to "Wood & Bronstein, P.A. Trust Account". DO NOT MAKE PAYABLE TO ME PERSONALLY OR TO MY FIRM WITHOUT THE WORDS "TRUST ACCOUNT" I will deposit it all in my firm's bank trust account and disburse it with my trust account check to the cremation service. If we do not get enough money, I will issue refund checks from the trust account to the donors in full. If there are excess leftover funds, I will refund those on a prorata basis to every donor. Donors, make sure to give me a return address in case this is needed. Deliver you check (or overnight it) to: Wood & Bronstein, P.A.. c/o David Bronstein, Esq. 7900 Peters Road, Suite B-100 Plantation, Florida 33324 954-358-0444 office 954-560-1634 Cell Hope this helps.
