PfC. McNair, ahh it's hard to believe that you are gone. I just found out from SfC Childress on Tuesday and it was a major shocker because I was just thinking about the last days that we sat in the office doing HRAP hearing you talk about making sure your high heels would be shipped out to Ft. Sill. Beautiful smile, pretty young woman and funny. It's a tough pill to swallow battle even though we had not known each other long. I pray that god blesses the family and McNairs daughter....My Condolences

Jasmine,

I never had a chance to know you, but you are part of my extended family. We both are 5th generation descendants of Rufus McNair and Mariah Wimberly of Plymouth, NC. May you rest in peace with our ancestors. You will not be forgotten for it is clear your family and friends love you very much. Your memory will live on eternally. Family ties are not broken, even though we pass. Rest in peace. My thoughts are with your family members in this challenging time.

Jass was like the daughter I never had, we got tattoos together a couple of weeks ago, ironically she got a present and puzzle pieces. So to her family and friends, I say she was a gift to all of us and we are still a puzzle that needs to be there and comfort each other for the piece of our puzzle that is missing.

To the Watts/Whitehurst/McNair Family: I remember Jass as a little girl running around FBLP. I used to see her around town and she always greeted me the same "Hey, Ms. Carter's Daughter". I watched her grow into a beautiful young woman with an amazing smile. My prayer is that God will bring you comfort and give you peace during this difficult time.

May your beautiful Spirit live on in everyone's life you've touched in this short time. I'm praying constantly with you Aunt Van, Tonya & Fam! I love you all.

JASS, as your grandmother Vanessa said last night, You were truly the * shining Star of the family. You were the first born child of Tonya's and first Grand Child. My daughter was very upset about your passing, so I told her to close her eyes and picture your face. All she could see was your smile, which brighten up her face and I'm sure this winning smile will brighten up other's faces too when they think of you. Tonya hold your head up high and look to the sky when you're feeling down. When you see the brightest star know that your loving daughter, your hero, your Soldier's spirit is still around. Remember: God has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Be strong for Kami. Love you all.

December 1, 2010

To JASS. May you rest in peace with that beautiful spirit and smile that I always saw. You will be missed very much. God has called his beautiful angel home. I will see you one day. Love ya Always babygirl...Miss Toye Coker
