Hi Jamie! We´re does the time go. 18 years. January 14 in the evening at Dollar general store on Highway six. Grab some TV dinners and dog food. And the gentlemen behind the register tells me it´s 4118 I had to go out to my car to get some change. I had 1.25. And I walk in and the lady behind us already had her debit card machine. I told her I was sorry. And I asked her if she wanted her money back and she told me no. And I sang to her thank you. Me and your baby sister go out to the car. And I´m on her to put the stuff on the floor. And she puts 40.00 on the passenger seat. Holy cow she paid for the whole bill. There are still kind of people out there. She did a Pay it forward. Give a hug and kiss to my grandson Aiden. It gives me peace and comfort that you and mom are keeping an eye on him. And I know you are still watching over your sisters and dad and I. Still love and miss you to pieces love always Mary.

Hey sissy, a lot a lot has happened since you left, good and bad of course. I pass by your grave every single day on my way to work, and every time I do I always say a little I love you. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you, I hope we can get some closure on what happened the night you were taken some time soon. I miss you and can't wait to hopefully see you again some day when I come to pass, Love you!
How you can show support

Just got my yearly reminder of writing in your book..I cant believe that your gracious soul has been gone for 18yrs (boy have we aged)! Our friendship wasnt a long one but theres so many days that I long for good friends anymore in this life and I smile with a touch of sadness wishing you were here because I know I could always count on you for a hug a smile or sweet words! I hope heavens treated you well Jamie! I hope one day when its my turn to go that we cross eachothers paths until then continue to shine over everyone down here that misses you sweet lady! Your never forgotten
Mama

I miss you as much now as I did the night we list you. The pain of losing you still hurts. Rosebud is so much like you. You´d be proud of how far she´s come. We tried to raise her well. Say hello to Steve if you see him. He loved you like his own. Loving you now and always. Mama

I am so sorry to hear about this. I was working on a class project when I stumbled upon Marilyn's digital art page, which lead to this website. I hope your family has been able to find peace, and I'm so sorry you were struck by such tragedy. Her memory lives on in your hearts and in these wonderful messages. Prayers and love from this random stranger <3

Deni..thank you for writing to me about the kids! I did a little looking on Facebook and searched for Sebastian as soon as i seen his pic i knew right away it had to be him! He favors Jamie so much<3 Hard to believe they are growing up so fast! Rosie has to be such a sweet soul if she takes after her mama<3 Ill always remember your babygirl, she was a one of a kind friend! Someone with such beauty and soul that i knew i could always run to for a chat or advice! So glad your all doing well i think about all of you often<3<3

Miranda - Not sure if you'll get a notification of this, but I didn't see an email link. Sebastian will be 17 in June. He looks like his mama ... a lot! Rozie is 12 and though she has red hair and grey eyes (beautiful!), she has her mama's mannerisms and way of talking. They are good kids. Jamie did well by them for the short time she had them. Thanks for being faithful to my little girl. She is ever present with us as she lives on in her children. Blessings.

Hi Jamie,
It's been 7 years now since you have been gone. Still missing you like crazy. The littlest things will bring back memories of you. Sometimes actually more then sometimes I wish you were still here, so I could talk to you and get your advice or just a good laugh. You were like my best friend and my sister. I don't care that technically your my step sister but you will always be my sister. Mom and Dad miss you too. I worry about Dad sometimes cause he really hasn't had a good nights sleep since you have been gone. I also wish you could be here to see my boys and how cute and funny they are. I am going to try one more time for that girl then no more; even if the third one ends up being a boy I am still quieting. I am not going to me a baby making machine!! lol Knowing my luck I would probably end up pregnant every two years if I don't get fixed. Well I love you and I hope you are happy were you are and that we find the person or people that did this to you soon so they can do there justice.

I empathize...the brightes blessings to all. My belief's arent's normally appreciated, but, here they are, and I hope not to offend, only to share. I believe that we all have a time to go, no matter what...when that time comes, out spirit soars from the body, and there are many possibilities. We, the living are selfish...and feel like justice never is truly attained...but, that's me (I've had many losses in many ways, including my baby girl whom I never had a chance to hold alive).
Blessed be,
Liz

I never knew about this site until now, Not sure why you popped into my head tonight out of nowhere. Then I started thinking about how we had plans to hang out the last weekend you were with us, and I had to cancel. You are so dearly missed and the passing years do not make it any easier on anyone. I still remember getting the phone call. I couldn't make any sense of it at first. There was already so much bad going on in my life, I didn't think God would throw one more thing at me. Between losing Louise, my best friend Erin and then you.....it was a rough few months. I still check the website made for you, every week. I miss you. A lot. One day, we will all see you again. We will sit and laugh and have fun again. No kids here yet or marriage but got a great guy so who knows :) I seen Miranda told you she had one. Great huh? You should see her little one. I have seen just pics but adorable as can be! Well, not really sure what else to say right now so all my love to you
Rebecca Gray
April 24, 2011
6 years huh.. to me its feels only like yesterday I last saw you, just laying there in the box... god only knows the pain I feel in my heart... the only thing that keeps it beating is knowing that I'll see you and the rest of our family again soon but for now I need to spend time with what remains of our family.... until then Jamie my heart beats for you... your sister Rebecca
Mom
January 22, 2011
J-bird. One would think it might get easier - but no. The memories of that night still haunt me. We all love you so - and talk of you so much. Siobhan misses you more than words can say and Sebastian talks of you so much. You are still a part of our lives in so very many ways. There are so many reminders of you. Love and hugs - and I WILL see you later, kiddo. Momma

I was raised in Valpo with precious Jamie! OMG, I am so sorry for your loss! I just found out as I haven't been to Valpo since 2000 when we buried my uncle, How anyone could do that is beyond me. She-not was- but IS a wonderful woman and it just broke my heart. I am so so sorry, but we will see her again!! You and your family will be in our prayers!!!

Hey Jamie;
I've been thinking about you quite a bit lately; it's so hard to believe that it's been over 4 years since you were taken from us. I'm finally getting the tattoo dedicated to you. A heart & roses. I found a picture of you and me, and every time I look at it, it makes me smile because of that grin you have on your face. I miss you so much. Love you, Mother Mary

I will keep a prayer in my heart for you. I'm sorry about your loss. Words can never express how deep the hurt is, but thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,He wrapps His loving arms around us and gives us the peace that we can't find alone. May God richly bless and keep you and family.

Jaybird .... I guess I figure you already know that grampa has gone. Our prayers at the end for him were that he die peacefully and if at all possible that you could be there with open arms to meet him. This brings back so much of losing you, honey - but I, at the same time, realize I haven't "lost" you at all. You are just as real and just as much my daughter now as you ever were. I hope you and grampa are able to find each other and share big, big hugs.
I love you,

Jamie,
I wanted to let you know that your Dad gave unselfishly to "pay it
forward" for you. My daughter and I were returning from a last minute appointment to Chesterton, because I was running late I didn't have time to stop to buy gas with the last $5.00 that I had with me. As I was driving down the busy road I felt the car sputtering so I turned across the oncoming lane to a driveway but my car died before I could get in the driveway. Your Dad helped to get my car out of the oncoming lane of traffic and refused to leave my daughter and me stranded until my husband could arrive. As I turned on my phone to call my husband I found that the phone had lost it's charge. We walked across the road to where your Dad was waiting, for my husband to arrive, and told him my phone was not charged so he called my husband's cell phone to find he was not answering. Your Dad then offered to drive home to his house and get some gas to put in my car to get it started, when he returned he followed my daughter and me to the gas station to be sure we made it there safely and even called my husband to let him know we were on our way home.
Ricky was so considerate of our well being that we told him he was our "highway guardian angel". We offered to pay him for ALL of the help he gave us, but he just told us to "Pay it Forward for Jamie".
Your Dad is doing the work you would want him to do, he is "paying it forward" for YOU!
Thank You again Ricky for making sure my daughter and I were safe before you left us on our own. Jamie's life is working to help others and we will always remember the help she brought to us.

I wrote this poem after a couple mounths after i stoped crying so much.... i read this poem the day after i wrote it and it made my mom cry this is the first poem ive ever wrote its called
When The Lights Burn Out
Lighting crashes
the lights start
to dim
what have i done?
what have i become?
As the lights start to burn out
what should i do?
Where should i go?
As i start to fade in and out
i cant feel anything it feels like my hearts being ripped out!
As the lights burn out i find myself floating in the clouds.
Am i dead? And a old but familiar voice is calling me
i start to run to the familiar voice but when i reach it I wake up its a home video of my sister and me
I run to my sisters room hoping its all just a dream but when i reach her room its empty my eyes start to fill and i no its not a dream.
In loving Memory of my sister Jamie Gray i will always love you!

Hi Jamie:
It's so hard to believe that it was Three years ago tonight that you
were taken away from us. I still think of you all the time, and pray that they find those responsible for
what they did. I pray for Sebastian & Siobhan Rose and know that you are watching over them, and over us as well.
I want so much, for you to be here in person, but know that you are with us in spirit.
Loving you & missing you, always. Mary (Step-mom)

Hello beautiful...just wanted to say happy thanksgiving...im so thankful for the few short years i had with u as a friend even though ur gone I know your still here with all of us..we got our first snow its so pretty yet so cold and u know me and the cold...haha we dont mix! I love you girl and miss more and more everyday.
deni weber
November 21, 2007
Jay-Bird ... Thanksgiving is a mixed blessing - being thankful I had you for a daughter ... that God blessed us with 29 years ... and sadness mixed with tears as your place sits empty around the table. Sebastian wants deviled eggs - and that brings back the memory of our laughing and filling eggs - trying to make them look "perfect" - and getting filling all over ourselves! Thanksgiving is different now - the family doesn't get together as much with gramma and grampa being in Life Care - and your brothers having lives of their own - but we are all together in spirit. I'm thankful you "accepted Christ" - and that there is assurance of where you are - and that one day - the circle will again be unbroken. I remind myself that you belonged to God before you ever belonged to me ... and he was gracious enough to loan you to us for a season. You are always in our thoughts and I find you everywhere! Thank you for the birthday card and the rainbow Love always ... Momma

Hi Jamie:
I stopped by your grave as i often do, & thought about alot of things that have transpired since you were taken away from us, but i'm sure you're watching over us & know that you are always in our hearts & thoughts. It's getting close to Thanksgiving and as usual it's going to be hard without you showing up (late as usual)& remembering how I tricked you with the sweet potato pie, for some strange reason,I just can't make it anymore. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you are still deeply missed & loved.
Loving you always,
Daddy

We always want to understand things, but the Lords ways are much higher than the mind can know. Yet He speaks to our hearts and beyond understanding, miracles happen..I praise the Lord for all He has done so far after Jamie's trip back Home. You certainly hit the right track by being honest and open hearted before the Lord. I have learned many things from reading about your facing the giant, and the victories the Lord has placed before you, bless you sister!

Hi Jay .... Siobhan Rose (see I CAN use her right name ...) had her birthday yesterday. She's five now. I often wonder how that can be. Seems only yesterday that we came up to the hopsital to see her for the very first time - snuggled in your arms. She is so like you, Jamie. Energetic, joyful, happy. She loves everyone and they love her. She loves braids, too. You are still alive in her, honey. She talks about her mommy in heaven and loves to look at the pictures she has of you. Her favorite is one at Chuckie Cheese's. She's beautiful, Jamie. I know you'd be so proud of her. Sebastian takes wonderful care of her. You done good, honey. You gave those two a real good start in life. I wrote a musing the other day - about moving on. I know now we are moving toward you and not away from you. Had another feather. No matter where we look, there is always something to remind us of you. You even made it to a music video wall - Montgomery Gentry I think - for a song called clouds. But, I don't see you in the clouds, honey. I see you in sunshine. I love you. Mom.

hey jamie, its pretty late and i needed someone to talk to . My friend passed away on the 27. she had a tumor in her brain and it killed her she was only 16. i kno shes in a better place now but it still hurts knowing she could be here playing soccer or talkin on the phone.i just wanted to ask u to look out for her and take care of her up there. why does losing someone have to be so hard? i hate it. but thanks to von and mom im gonna be ok there always there for me through thick and thin.. i dont know what id do with out them. well thanks for listening to me .. ii truly wish i could of met u ..thinkin of u always

Jamie this is Melissa.I miss you so much that it is hard to put in words.And I want Sebastian and Shabian to know that I love them very much and since I can't see them right now it feels like my heart is being riped out lof my chest cause I love them so much. It is the only thing left of you that I have. It just hurts so bad! And Jeremy,Jonathon, Jordon and every body else I love you guys too. You guys are the only brothers I have to look up to and hurts when you guys aren't around. I really, really wish that I can see you guys. And tell Sebastian; if I don't see him, Happy Birthday and give him big hugs and kisses. I love guys.

Jaime- Not a day goes by when i don't hear stories about you.I talked to Dad(Rick) and mom(Mary)the other night and it seemed to be another hard night without you.There's days that seem really good and that everythings going to be ok now. but then theres other days when the slightest thing reminds them of you and brings back memories of how much fun you were to be around.I know you looking down on everyone and you can see how much Amanda's grown. She pretty much walking on her own now.Melissa,Yvonne,and Becca are growing up fast too! But sometimes they need your guidence from up above to help them.well jamie i have to get back to doing my school work. Please watch over eveyone. We all miss you and love you.

The world has lost a child, Heaven has gained an angel. I don't know you. However, I feel that you were proud of your child. You now can rejoice in the glorious being she now is. I have not lost a child to death. I have lost a child to the world, bitterness, anger, selfishness. I rejoice with you because of the glorious being your child now is. Mine is flirting with the prince of the air. I know part of your loss. I feel I have lost and continue to loose every day without end. I will pray for you and your family, for your tears, for the void that has been left in your life. That you will feel her love Through Christ Jesus who promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" May the peace of Christ Jesus be with you.

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Jamie I miss u so much...so many times I wish u were still here to talk to ..I know i can still talk to you but its hard..its not the same...hope your days are bright chubby bum...xoxox

Jamie,
It is so hard to believe a year has passed. My love and thoughts are with you and your family more often than not. Just knowing your pain and suffering is over and you are with God helps.
Deni, I know how hard this is for you, but your faith has always been strong. You know all my love and prayers are with you. I pray for your health too. I know how ill you've been.
Love, JoAnn

The memory of Jamie is always around, and I see it most when I see her two beautiful children. She is mourned and she is loved and will always be loved. Jamie we miss you whole heartedly, and until the day that we meet again, I for the first time, I pray that you are watching over us and making sure that everything goes your way and not someone elses. With a loving heart and many tears,
Love always,

But I did it!! I miss u jamie and I love the precious headstone that was picked out for u....its all u....!!! Shine on Jamie I miss u and love u..and here is a lil something with my thoughts to u in it!
My Friend when I think of you.
I think of all that we've been through.
I know deep inside that this isn't right.
It feels like I've fallen from the sky like the rain.
I love you dear friend with all of my heart.
But now that you're gone I've fallen apart.
I'm getting better as the days go by.
I wish sometimes this was all a big lie.
I pray to you every night.
It's like you're my fire, a burning light.
My dear friend, I miss you alot.
I still wonder why you were put in that spot.
I know you're in a place much better than here.
Watching and helping me with all of my fear.
Our friendship my dear friend,
we will have to the end.
Friends til the end is what we will be.
Someday we'll be together,
together you and me.

Deni & Family...
Your memorial to your beautiful daughter brings me to tears. I can only imagine the pain you have all endured. My prayers have been with you all along, and I know God is watching over Jamie, you, and your family and the sweet children.
Know that I love you very much, and pray for the pain to ease for you.
I never got to meet Jamie, but feel like I know her. I love you very much.. God Bless you..
