tomorrow is your birthday. hunter is talking alot about you. he is having trouble understanding why you had to pass away. i try to help by telling him that god needed you. but when he looks at me with tears in his eyes and replies that he needed you too, what do i say? how do i help him feel better when i'm questioning why god called you away too? you made him feel so special every time you came to visit him. thank you for being a good big brother to him while you were with us. Happy birthday, love you and miss you.

THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Love you son, mom

Jason, What a beautiful afternoon, just your type of day. blue skies and a gentle cool breeze. The grass is green under the shade tree where we all played croquet and washers. That was great times. I can picture you and me wrestling and horse playing under those trees, you wrapping your arms around me and picking me up just to aggravate me. I wonder some times if those things are things you would have remembered if you were still with me. I very rarely see Davey anymore seems strange after all the time he spent here that last spring. I only hope that you are looking down on us all laughing that robust laugh and telling us to enjoy whatever time we have left. Please tell mom and dad hello that i love and miss themm to. It goes without saying what i feel for you my son, but endulge the old women anyway I LOVE YOU SON now and for eternity. missing you mom

JUNE BUG, as we all live our lives everyday we are wishing you were here. we had a lot of good times together. you were like a brother to me. sorry i never write or come see you at the waterfall but it is just hard for me. i have seen your mom and todd just a couple of times since you were taken from us. i really need to get over there but everytime i see your mom it hurts me to see her hurt so much. so could you look down on her and help her get through each day without pain? any of us would have taken your place in that situation. but to let you know we all still love you and always will.

Son
Its Christmas time and I find myself not enjoying the holiday I enjoyed most. I'm not decorating a tree, not baking, not even enjoying the shopping. It's not the same without you. I find myself reflecting on memories of the past. Those wonderful Christmas eves I would anxiously wait for you to come home from your dads to see your eyes glisten and beg me to open just one gift until I would give in, knowing all along which gift I was going to give you, but that was my secret tradition and I loved it. How I would give anything to have one more Christmas with you. I know their are alot of peoples thoughts and prayers are on you this time of year. So, please my son look down on us and give us a sign that it is alright for us to enjoy the holidays. I MISS you my son and it goes without saying that I LOVE YOU with all my heart and soul. MERRY CHRISTMAS my son. MOM

My dearest son,
As the tears run down my cheeks and as the day grows closer I remember many days that we spent together the last year of your life. How I wish they were my last days and not yours. I can only imagine the strength you must have had those final days. DID YOU KNOW? Everyone says that you did that the doctor told you on that last visit that I did not get to go. How strong you must have been to endure the pain by yourself, when I should have been the strong one for you. You were definitely a man of men, strong yet compassionate,fiesty yet loving, demanding yet giving. I only pray that you saw me in such an enduring way. I can not believe that it has been almost 2 years. I cannot stop thinking of that morning when I lost you, if only I had realized that it was your last night. I know my son that you knew how much I loved you but to have left you I cannot forgive myself. I have tried but all I can think of is you taking your last breath and my head on your chest to never hear another. I only hope that you have forgiven me for anything yhat you may have felt I did not do correctly as your mom. Because I want to hear your laughter and receive a huge bear hug when I get there. With all my LOVE MOM

Jason,
I don't really know where to begin, but I want you to know that I went into the Navy and after doing my time I came back home and I was looking for you hoping to reconnect and hang out like old times like back in Ledgewood when we were kids. I am really saddened by the fact that I never got to see you again because you were a great friend to me and I loved you like a brother. I just found out the news of your passing a few weeks ago and I have been really down everysince. I know that you are in a much better place and that you are no longer in pain so that helps me but I miss you and I wish I could have seen you again. I will see you again someday though. But until then have fun and watch over us. I love you,
Chris

FORGET ME NOT AS YOU GO ABOUT YOUR DAY AND WHEN THE WINTER WIND HOWLS MY NAME. FORGET ME NOT IN THE LONELY DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT AND IN THE WARM BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUNLIGHT. FORGET ME NOT IN THE FRESHNESS OF THE MORNING DEW AND IN THE SPRING WHEN LIFE BEGINS ANEW. FOR I AM IN YOU AND YOU ARE IN ME, I WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN YOUR HEART AS LONG AS YOU FORGET ME NOT. I LOVE YOU MY SON. MOM

Dear son, It has been along time coming but I finally found the answers I have been searching for. You see I felt everything was my fault that I should have forced you to go sooner and maybe we would have caught the cancer in time. But I now know that GOD gives us choices to make and he knows the outcome of those choices and you lived your life the way you chose, even if I had been able to convince you to get their sooner the outcome would have been the same because GOD chose you for another reason that I may not now understand but realize that even though my heart is filled with pain from not seeing your beautiful face or hearing your robust laugh I know that you are in no pain and in the wonderful large hands of GOD and in great company with many people who loved and adored you. I can close my eves and see you fishing on a magnificent shoreline with the skies the most beautiful blue I have ever seen. Although I will never quit missing you or ever quit thinking of you I rest in knowing your in great hands and one day I to will be in those great hands and will rejoice with you. Happy Birthday my son I LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER MOM

Jason,I had to write you. Hunter thinks of you so much. He's always talking about you and that he wishes you were here with him. He was given a project at school the other day, a memoir of a special person, place, or thing. That project he chose ...was of you. In fact when his teacher read it, he felt he had to call me to prepare me for the words that he wrote, such strong feelings on paper, from his heart. I want to share this with you. He wrote:
Have you ever had a brother die in the hospital from cancer? I have. I was sad and mad. It hurt alot when Jason died without saying goodbye to me and me not saying goodbye to him. I remember saying "NO" to Mom when she told me that he died and did I want to go to the hospital to see him. Jason was my oldest brother. He's the coolist and stronger person I know. Last time I saw him alive would be when we were at Mamma Harshfield's house and he lift me upside down and gave me his last bear hug. Now, Mom has to give them to me. Mom showed me a special tree. She told me "do you know what tree this is? Its a kicking tree. When someone you love dies, you kick this tree to help get your feelings out". So...I kicked it alot. Some bark came off. I cried "I killed it Mommy!" She replied "No, its what the tree is for." I miss him so much. God said to him "come with me to a better place". I bet he said that to Jason. I bet he's looking at me right now...
So Jason, just in case your wondering, you are not forgotten: by your family, friends, and not even in your little 8 year old brother's eyes, heart, or mind.

Jason, My Loving Son,
I'm writing this in hopes it might help me heal, and to tell you how I feel.
Many people have said that time heals all wounds, but how can that be true when each passing season brings a new set of memories. When each day I close my eyes to rest and I see your beautiful face and long to touch your curly hair. When it seems wrong to just go on with this life without the person I cherish most. Don't get me wrong, I recall our conversation of you telling me to live my life, and I will.
As the days pass I don't feel less sorrow but I do feel more of your strength. I admire you and cherish the man you became. I only hope you knew how proud I was of you. You were more wise than people gave you credit for, compassionate, selfless, and loving.
With this being said, my son, I will embrace the day I leave this world and join you in yours. I will wait at those pearly gates with my arms opened wide, waiting for the embrace and kiss on the cheek I so deeply long for from the man I LOVE and CHERISH. The man I call Jaybo, the man I am Proud of and will miss, my son, Jason.
WITH ALL MY LOVE
MOM

It is said that time is the only thing that can heal..honestly i dont think theres enough time n the world that could heal the hurt i have from loosing you.When god took you he did not only take an angle that was here on earth but my Bestfriend as well!!I cannot descibe the way i feel without you here,you always seemed to amaze us by holding on,know matter how bad your days truly got you never showed it that much..you were one of the people that truly took me under your wing when we lost mandy,if it werent for you i dont no what i would of done! I think about you everyday wishin i could just hear your voice or feel your arms...I love you and miss you more with each passing day! I'll see ya when i get there, make sure its crackin!!!Love you Bubbie~

The morning was dark but the wind was calm,
It was nearly the break of day.
When God sent an angel from heaven,
And took Jason away.
God knew how much we’d miss him,
And how we would be so sad.
But, he knew we’d have beautiful memories,
Of the wonderful times we’d had.
Though his voice is stilled forever,
And no more will we see his face.
The beauty and goodness he left behind,
Are all around this place.
We’ll find his beauty in the rose,
God made them too we know,
His voice in the singing of the birds,
And the wind as it softly blows.
His sweetness in the clover,
That the honey bees embrace.
His softness in each snowflake,
As it falls upon our face.
If we look toward the heavens
Till we find God’s brightest star.
We’ll know he’s watching over us,
And will guide us from afar.
With God in our hearts and our love for each other,
When our journey on earth is through
He’ll be waiting with hands out stretched.
To welcome us home too.
I love you Jason, Rhonda

It's never easy to say goodbye. The pain is so great, yet I need to stay strong for your little brother-Hunter. Words alone cannot express how much you touched my heart, you were (in my eyes) a son to me. You didnt have to stop by just to say hi to Hunter and me, yet somehow you always found the time. Those visits meant so much, it showed me you truly cared about family, no matter how connected. All I ask of you now is to continue those visits in Hunter's and my dreams once in a while so we can see you again before it's our turn to go to the one who called your name first. I love you big guy.

Where you will go I may not now follow. I find comfort in the idea that somewhere we will meet again.
Now, go rest high on the mountain. Our time together for now is done.

Jason was taken away from us much too soon. I wish he could have been around his "step-family" a lot longer; we had all grown to love and care for him so much in the time we did have. On Earth, we'll never understand why God wanted him so soon, but I pray that His Peace will surround all of Jason's family and friends. Please let me know if I can do anything at all. Much love to you.
