Jami Joanne Lynch

Jayme was raised by Rick Lynch, but sought out her real father, Jim Wroughton, when she was 16. She found him and lived with him, his wife, Joyce, and their three sons, David, Doug, and Michael, for about six months. David and Doug were Joyce's sons from a previous marriage and Jim adopted them when they were little. Jim and Joyce had Michael in March 17, 1969, one month after Rick and Joy had Michele, Jayme's two half-siblings. Jim Wroughton died in March 1997.

Jayme's teen years were turbulent, to say the least, and most of her twenties were spent in and out of mental hospitals. She was wrongly diagnosed and treated for many years, until 1987, when she was correctly diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). During this time, she was also attempting college courses and was traveling around the country advocating for the rights of the mentally ill.

In 1992, she found God and was freed from her disorder for about four years. She moved to Atlanta to be near her sister Jody, and found a place of her own in Tucker, GA. Jody moved to CO, but Jayme stayed behind, doing in-home childcare and writing an autobiography titled Burdens in the Thought Life. She is still waiting and hoping for publication.

Also by 1992, it was determined by a optomologist at Emory University that Jayme was legally blind, not correctible by glasses. She had a rare disease called Pars Plenitis, astigmatism, severe myopia, and cataracts in both eyes. Her vision was 20/400. Throughout the next few years, she underwent countless surgeries, steroid injections, and lasers to correct some of these problems. Her second cataract surgery was performed a week after returning from her brother, Jimmy's, funeral in 1994. Her final laser was performed in 1996, and she is currently seeing at 20/40. No further surgeries or treatments are needed, and she is no longer required to wear glasses.

On Jayme's 35th birthday, Dec 1996, she purchased a computer in order to get on the Internet. Since then, the Internet has become her life. She started a company called DeCas Web Design and has been learning everything she can about the technology of the World Wide Web. Although various family members (especially Helen Spears and Gay Comboy) are responsible for the content in these family pages, Jayme is responsible for the web design and maintenance.

In October, 1998, Jayme moved to downtown Atlanta and began computer college at Hertzing College of Technology. Her major is in Information Systems.

Jayme enjoys writing, drawing, and collecting Queen (the rock group) paraphanelia. Her website at GeoCities, Jayme's Place reflects all her interests. Her autobiography is online, along with many of her drawings, short stories, and poetry. She also has a huge website dedicated to Queen called The Queeniac Zone, which was favorably reviewed in the October '99 issue of Record Collector Magazine, along with another one of her websites called The Official UNofficial Homepage for Brian Mayniacs.

Jayme has a deep faith in God and she is gaining a deep faith in herself.
