August 21, 2010
Jake it's been a year today since you left me so unexpectedly. I really don't know how I have made it thru this year. The tears still come every day and my heart just hurts. I just miss you so much. Sometimes the pain is just to much I just want to give up. If I could trade places with you I would in a heart beat, but no matter what nobody can take that special bond we have away from us. Just remember no matter where I go or what I'm doing your always with me. I love you forever, mom

Happy Valentines Day may sweet boy. My broken heart misses you so much. No one will ever know just how much. Forever in my heart. Mom
February 9, 2010
To my Angel Jake, "If tears could build a stairway,and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven to bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye, you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know." I just can't get past the sadnesss and the emptiness of you not here with me. When I go to bed each night I think how did I make it through one more day. I miss you so much, you are forever in my heart. Love Mom

December 25, 2009
Today is Christmas day and it does not even seem like it. We did'nt have a tree or presents this year. And nobody even cared. It's just to hard to celebrate such a wonderful holiday without you, so we didn't. We have been snowed in all day. Arley loves the snow, I know you were laughing when he was outside playing in it for the first time. It's been 18 weeks or 4 months and 4 days since I've talked to you. If I could only have one Christmas wish, you know what it would be. You always loved christmas, so we got you a tree, and Patty always makes something special for you. As the days go by it still is not easy, but we just try to get through it. We still talk about you everyday and laugh at all the goofy and crazy stuff you would do. We say that was just Jake. Nanny misses you so much and she seems so lost without you. It's still hard for both of us. My empty heart aches for you everyday and how I wish you could just come home, but I know you will be waiting for me when I come home to you. So for now, Merry Christmas my precious son, I love and miss you so much. Mom
December 25, 2009

December 1, 2009
Nothing is same the same anymore.....Thanksgiving has come and gone. There's always going to be an empty place now at the table as well as in our hearts. And are favorite shopping day of the year just does'nt matter anymore without you. I could'nt even go this year. I think the first time in many many years. I remember last year me, you and Casie got up really early and went. Now I just have to get through Christmas. I'm not sure how well that's going to go. I just wish you were here. The tears still come for you everyday and the Heartache and emptiness never goes away.....I miss you so much. You were my life my heart and soul. With all my Love, Mom

November 18, 2009
so tomorrow is my bday and its going to be very difficult this year...the 1st one without you in a long time. some days are better then others and then sometimes its feels hard to breath i would give anything in the world to have you back for one more minute just to see your face and hear your voice, so many times i wanna call your phone just to hear you...bailey and i were talkin about the winter her and amanda lived with brock and we would all bundle up with so many layers and going out on the patio to smoke...and have fellowship! it really will be hard not having you here for my bday, you make some rude comment about how old i am! haha but i know you will be with me tomorrow and i will feel your presents...i miss you with every breath i take, all my love and more! love jenny toodles poodle

Jake -
I can't get you off my mind. Lil Marc just turned 5, we had his party at Incredible Pizza, but it wasn't the same... you weren't there. I miss you like crazy. It just isn't fair. It is starting to get cold outside and I can't yell at you and tell you to put some warm clothes on! This summer was the worst summer ever, and as time goes by, it is not any easier. I miss your face, your smile, and your laughter..... I just miss you. Forever in my heart - Britnie
November 16, 2009
The days and nights are still so long and my heart still aches for you so much. The emptiness I feel inside will never be filled again. I just wish you where still here with me. You where my life, my heart and soul. Forever Love, Mom

Jake, I brought you a card tonight. I hope you saw it. Today has been pretty hard. I keep trying to work up the courage to go to your house and hang out with your parents and your brothers, but I'm scared because I know you won't be there. It's weird because as many times as I would stay at your house, while you weren't there you'd think that it would be nothing new ;) but I know you're not just right around the corner and you won't be coming back soon like you used to and that is something I can't seem to deal with. But I am going to get over there. I promise. Happy Birthday baby. I love you.
September 14, 2009
Happy Birthday Jake! Everyone misses you so much. Thank you for all the memories and the laughs. You were always the one that could make us all laugh. Our family gatherings will never be the same without you. You were truly loved by so many people. Not that it's surprising, with your quick wit and charm. :) You cared for so many people...so many people who are missing you today. We can't wait to see you again. Until then, we will watch over your Mom, Dad, and brothers. I love you Jake. Happy Birthday!!
Love, Stancie

September 14, 2009
JAKE HAPPY BIRTHDAY I WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH ME AND MOM. MY LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE IN MY HEART FOR YOU. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DAY YOU WERE BORN WHEN I LEFT THE HOSPITAL WALKING TO MY TRUCK I LOOKED UP AT THE SKY THE MOON WAS BRIGHT THE STARS WERE SHINING AND I FELT PROUD, I WAS ONLY 23 YEARS OLD. IT FELT SO GOOD TO FEEL THIS WAY. HOLDING YOU WHEN YOU WERE A BABY THE LOVE YOU MADE ME FEEL WAS SO STRONG. I WOULD'NT LET ANYTHING HURT YOU. JAKE I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITH YOU GONE BUT I WILL BE STRONG FOR YOU UNTILL I DIE AND WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.
LOVE DAD

i get on here and read what everyone puts and it make me so proud of you, you were and are loved my so many people Jake. i keep thinking that at some point its going to get easier but it doesnt. I miss you with every bone in my body, its so hard to even think about my life with you gone...you were my right hand man and with you i could do anything. Now im so lost and i try so hard to hide it but my world is upside down. I know that im the luckest girl in the world because i was blessed with callin you my bestfriend! i wish that i couldnt have saved you i wish that i could have told you everything would be alright, but all the wishin and wonderin and whats if's wont mend my broken heart because none of that will bring me you...i hope that someday when i have a son that his heart is as big as yours and his love for people and life is like yours, but most of all i hope that we can have the relationship that you and your mom had! i talk to you everyday and i know you listen...you were the best at that, just letting me rambble on and on about me! I always said i think jakes the only person who loves me as much as i love myself!! Thank you for keeping me grounded! You always said that we were soulmates and i knew it was true because i fell in love with you the moment i met you and my life was never the same...you are the most beautiful person i know! thank you for letting me be your bestfriend...toodles poodle

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY JAKE!!!! We love and miss u sooo much!!!
September 14, 2009
Happy Birthday to my beautiful son. I think of all the things we had planned for today. I remember on Thursday August the 20th, you told me what you wanted for your Birthday. It was some kind of new stuff for your face to get rid of wrinkles or something like that. You told me it would be good for me too. You used to tell me things like that so I would buy it. You always hated that crease across your forehead, but I used to tell you that was your trademark.
I lie awake at night wondering why your life was cut so short, and I think of all the plans you had for the future that we would talk about. Everybody tells me to think of all the good memories we had together and I do, but I can't stop thinking of the memories we did'nt get to make.
I have come to realize that this world stops for nobody, even though I feel like my world has stopped, I see that everybody else just moves on. I feel my new goal in life is just to make it through the day. My heart is empty without my son and my best friend. I think back to that last Sunday that we spent together going shopping and out to lunch. You would always go with me and never complain about where we were going, you just liked to go. We had a good time that day. We will celebrate your 25th Birthday today and have the family come over tomorrow and Matt will blow your candles out for you.
My heartaches so much for you.....I just wished you were here with me.
I love you and miss you so much...
Forever Mom

jacob ryan.. almost every day now i think about the last conversations we had and i think about the things you said and i wish now like i did then that i could have somehow helped you or put you at ease somehow.. i will always regret the fact that i didnt get to spend time with you or hear what was going wrong with things.. i am so sorry that i wasnt there in the end but if i had known i wouldve tried.. ihave so many great memories and great laughs with you and i will always always always .... remember you and your ability to be a great, strong, and inspiring friend.. i love you and miss you and probably always will and i will never ever ever let my adult life make me so busy that i dont talk to my friends like i should... Jake you will always be a part of me and my childhood and you will always be in our hearts and our souls... you, i , and brit will always be a threesome to be reckoned with.. we love you jake

My dearest Jake, I miss u every second of everyday. It's amazing how much we take for granted in our lives. Every night when I wake up with Caila, I can't go back to sleep because I'm thinking about you, and wondering what you are doing. You better be making sure all of us are on the VIP list up there :) I know you wouldn't have it any other way. Your bithday is tomorrow. The Marge and I are going to come see you. I hope you are there with us in spirit. Hey, did you realize that YOU are the reason why Marge and I are such good friends?? lol! remember when we hated eachother?? It was you who brought us together, Thank you for that, you gave me the bestfriend anyone could ask for (besides you) you and Marge are the only two people who call me BJ. (and who I let call me that :) if I were at the grocery store and someone yelled BJ! I knew exactly who it was or if I heard someone say miss Jackson, I knew it was either you,or someone from your family. lol! I can't understand why I have to go on and accept the fact that I will never hear my phone ring and it be you on the other end. God has chosen to keep us apart for right now, but one day, I will see you again. & u better have saved some pizza for me! I miss you and love you so very much.
September 11, 2009
Jake... I don't know why this happened. You were my life, and I would have done anything for you. It's so hard to get up in the mornings and so hard to go to sleep at night. You are always on my mind, and I just feel so empty inside....I just wished the phone would ring and it would be you saying,"mom will you come and get me" and I would say, I'm on my way. Like I did so many times before. My life will never be the same without you...so until we see each other again, watch over Tyler and Matt and I will hold you so close in my heart....I love you, and miss you so much. With all my Love, MOM

Shelly, Jimbo, Tyler & Matt -
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal..." I remember seeing this quote somewhere and thinking now how comforting these words are. Keep your memories close to your heart as you love and remember Jake. Lean on each other, your family, your friends for strength and know how sorry we are all to have lost such a beautiful soul.
Rest in peace Jake. You left this world with all of our love and you will be sorely missed.

Our Lord and Savior will keep him safe until we all join together again. May your days be filled with happiness instead of sorrow as Jake would want it that way.Even though I feel like I have lost one of my own, I know that Jake is finally at peace!!I will keep all of you in my prayers!
I love you

It saddens me to see such a great person go before us, whom we all shared so many memories with in the last 24 years! Jake, well what can I say, he was JAKE! Haha A great guy who showed so much compassion and truth! I can remember all the crazy times with my family we had, Jake was OUR family, blood or not he was welcomed anytime! Him and Jenny were inseparable, like two peas in a pod! So many memories that will never be forgotten!
Let us celebrate the 24 years we DID share with this great guy, and be happy that we will always have some part of Jake with us! My prayers are with all of those who love and care and will truley miss JACOB RYAN WADDLE!!!

I am very glad I got a chance to meet Jake. Although I only worked with him a short time, he still made a great impression on me. He was always concerned about how I felt about his work ethic.(Since I am Lisa's sister)He wanted to make sure I knew he was responsible. I enjoyed the times we worked together, he made it a good day! He will truly be missed by all and remembered in our hearts forever.

Jimbo, Shelley, Tyler & Matt,
We are so sorry to hear the horrible news about Jake. I will always remember his smiling face when he would walk across the street to visit or get away from his brothers (when they were fighting). Jake loved his family very much, especially his mom. He talked about you all often when coming over.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. God will help you all through this tragic time of your life.
Sincerely,
The Wilders

I can't believe he won't be attending anymore of my son's birthday parties eating all my pizza. I'll never be able to yell at him for driving around with no shoes on, or going out in the cold with only shorts and a t shirt on. I'm going to miss all the laughter and the wonderful times that we had together. There was never a dull moment with Jake around. I can go on and on saying things I am going to miss about him but I will just keep holding all those memories close to my heart, I will never let them go. I thank God for that cold day at Bowling Green twelve years ago when I met him. He is part of the reason I am who I am today. Who would have guessed he would have made such an impact on my life? I am at peace knowing Jake has moved on to a better place. There will never be a day that goes by that I'm not going to miss hearing him call me "Miss Jackson" I love you Jake. I'll see you later.

Prayers, we love you.
