It has been three years now and my heart is still hurting. It is hurting because I miss seeing your smile, but you will always be in my heart. I love and miss you so much, but I realize that God knew best for you. The celebration in your honor was a great success. So many friends and family came out to remember and honor you. For anyone that reads your guest book, I will make a anual memorial celebration in honor of my son PFC. Roy (Scooby) Lee Jones III the Saturdays before May 10 as long as God allow me to do so.

I was looking for my stepson's website, his name Pfc. Larry I. Guyton when I decided to also visit your web-site. I just want you to know that I have said a prayer for your family and for their loss of you a beloved Son, beloved family member and friend. You and so many others have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Your family is always in my prayers.

Fallen but never forgotten

Too young to die, just beginning to understand and not here long enough to enjoy

Hey Babe...Life isnt life without you. I'm just blah and here... I miss you more then i can put inot words Ilove you more then you will ever know

I miss you so much. I was thinking what it would have been like to have had you here for your birthday. My baby would have turned 24 years old. Although, you are not here physically you will always be in my heart. I will never forget you. I love you forever.

I posted a video slideshow of my friend on youtube. Here it is- I hope you enjoy.

Hey love, I miss you so much. I wish we could be sitting out in the driveway looking at the sky and talking. I miss our conversations and our dancing together. I wish it would get easier but its just not. I love you. hugs and kisses

Hey Honey,
Just wanted to drop a line to let you and the entire world know how much I love and miss you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about your smile. You will forever be in my heart.

Hey Honey,
I am sitting here thinking about you and Michael Jackson. I can only imagine that the two of you are sharing each other dance steps. I miss you so much and my heart aches for your touch and smile. I love you with all I have forever and ever.

Mom

Iremember laying on the hood of your car looking up at the stars and clouds. We did that for an endless amount of hours just talking. I miss our talks and having someone to talk to about everything. Know one knew me like you knew me and no one will. It's truely hard losing your soulmate. I dont have words to express how i feel. I fell like im lost. I love you with all my heart and soul . One day i will look you in the eyes and talk about everything that has gone on, one day we wil be together again. Until then keep my spot warm and keep dancing so we will be able to dance together. I love you scooby more and more each day. I promise your memory will live on for ever and the price you paid for all of us to be here will never be forgotten/ Hugs and kisses and smiles for miles even when i dont feel like it.

To the family of Pfc. Roy L. Jones:
Roy gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

big sis

I want to thank everyone for loving Scooby. My heart is over-flowing with joy knowing Scooby touched so many lives. Scooby was and still is a Blessing to me and so many people.

Scooby, keep watching over me.

Scooby, I thank you everyday for encouraging me to reach my goals. I am counting down my son for graduation. I did not think I was going to make it. Many times I felt like giving up, but I know how you felt about me going to school. It is because of you that I stayed with it. I will be walking in May for my masters and I owe it all to PFC. Roy Lee Jones III "Scooby" (my hero now and forever more).
I also thank Francis, Lisa, and Coco for helping me in dealing with losing the love of my life. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have such a good husband and two daughters that are the best ever.

I know Im like super late.. But I jus found out about your passing! I promise from the last time we saw each other, I though about you from time to time.. Everytime I danced, Everytime I would hear a song that we danced to (Britney Spears Im a Slave 4 U LOL) evertime I watch these shows based on nothing but dancing... hoping to catch you on one of them! You were the most talented dancer I had ever known!Then I read on Daniels Myspace that you had passed away 2 years prior... My heart dropped and all I could ask was Why? The only person that I had known that NEVER failed to put a smile on my face! You were gone and I never got to say goodbye.. What hurts the most is the fact that you and I hadnt talked in almost 6 years now. We just lost touch. But I NEVER forgot you Scooby! Never.. And I NEVER will! You always believed in me and my dreams! No matter what. No matter what I was going through, you saw my maximum potential! And I appreciate getting to know you and it was a true honor to call you my friend.

I also wanted to offer my condolences to Scooby's family and friends for the pain and suffering following Scoobys departure! To his mother, You raised an amazing person and Soldier! Stay Strong!

Rest In Peace My Friend Pfc. Roy Jones AKA Scooby. You will be always in our hearts! Thank you for serving for our country! You will be missed and you and your family willl stay in my prayers!

happy hearts day. You have my heart. I love you i hopeyou enjoyed the mike an ikes

You know i miss you immensely. im wearing thin and tired. I miss th eloy the smile and the love you brought to my life. i miss our long conversations. i could talk to you about anything and i knew that you would get it. now i find myself holding it all in because i just dont think anyone understands. I love you and dream of the day when we will be together again. Love your second half xoxox

I feel like a lost puppy walking in a busy street. You were always there everyway i turned i knew you'd be there. Now your not. I really dont understand why. My heart aches with the pain of losing you. How do you get over losing the love of your life? I don't have an answer. After i'm done with christmas with my parents i'm gonna feel lost and alone. Because we would always spend that day together. We were gonna have a future and we had plans now i don't know what to do anymore. I miss you so so so much i cant explain it. I wish you were here more then anything. I love you with all my heart and everyone knows about you. Until we meet again i love you

Well another Christmas with out you. My heart hurts for you so bad. Some days are harder than other days. Today is one of those harder days, but I can only believe that we will be together again. I love you so much

Hi Scooby... I finally met your Mom , sisters & niece. You have a beautiful family. You are in my thoughts and Prayers. Until we meet in Heaven, stay Blessed.

wISHING YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSING YOU A WHOLE LOTME AND NANETTE TRYING TO GET THROUGH EACH DAY THAT THE LORD SEND US HOPING YOU AND TERENCE HAVING FUN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY TOGETHER LOVE YOU ALWAYS AUNT DEBRA

We'll sweetheart another b-day has came again and you are not here, there's not a day that does not go by i don't think of you,your smile,your dancing,you being you. I LOVE YOU!!

Happy Birthday My Love
Today the family will be together celebrating and honoring you. I also will be going to the Gold Star Mother's Day ceremony at the cemetery. I will then go to your grave site where I will release 23 red, white, and blue balloons in your memories. I love you so much. My heart aches everyday more and more. I miss your smile, your touch, your voice, and most I miss your sense of humor.
Waiting on that day when we will meet again

Well Baby, once again I am having to see your birthday come without you being here, but you will always be in my heart. I never knew that there could be a pill that is so hard to swallow, but through God all things are possible. I thank God for Stacy because when I am talking to her or around her, I feel as if I am close to you. When I get sad, I think about the Scooby things you would do and it makes me laugh. When hurricane Ike was here, I laughed so much because I thought about when Rita was coming, you and Stacy was outside smoking cigarettes and I told yall to come in the house because a storm was coming. I will never forget when you said that you will let cancer take you out before you let a storm take you out. Well I lost every tree in my yard from Ike except Scooby's tree, therefore it came to my mind that you are not going out like that either. I love you and miss you so much.
Until that day comes when we will be together again

I think about our times together and laugh smile and even cry. The memory of your smile kiss touch and smell is still clear as if you were still here. I listen to janet and go off to my own world were we are together dancing. I think about the what would have happened if you were still here. Somehow I think id be in denver with you. living life and having a blast. They say time heals all wounds but with the love we had i dont tihnk thats true. My biggest fear is forgetting the little things. Your my heart my soul my love. Forever til we meet again i miss you and love you. xooxoxoxoxoxoxo
Stacy

Hi Son, Believe me when I say I love and miss you deeply and dearly myself. Despite the path that life took us down does not mean that life took the love that that leaves a void in my heart for you. I can only pray that you understand this.Being glorified as you are and in the present of our Creator I know that I know you do. I missed out on carnal life with you, but know demon in Sheoul will stand between this spiritual love.Son, thanks for being a HERO, thanks for being a lover of many. I know this because of the many you have not only touched, but brought joy and happiness to. I read your guest book quite often. I'm going to close now.SON. I LOVE and MISS you now and have'd always. And by the way, that little angel that keeps following you around and won't stop crying unless YOU hold him. Please don't be too upset with him, He's your brother. THANKS' your Dad with love and regrets. Larry

Hey Baby,

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Roy, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Nannette:
I presented the Gold Star Banner to you on behalf of the Blue Star Mothers of America at the National Cemetery on May 19th 2007, in honor of your son, Roy, a true American Hero.
You are in my thoughts and prayers today on this very sad anniversary. May God give you strength and peace in his loving arms.

You are always thought of, Scooby. May you have everlasting Peace.

Nanette,
You are always in my thoughts & Prayers. I know it's still hard for you. I Pray that as each day passes, you will feel a little more comfort.
God Bless.

I've never knew you but were ever you are I know all your family & friends will miss you.

Nanette & Family--I just spoke with you and as you know--we have a bond for life; but even knowing that, I still can't even find the words...As you know I lost my 19 year old son--5 Sept 2007, Balad, Iraq. I am absolutely devastated and I know that you are too...but find comfort in the fact that we will see our loved ones, our heroes again. Remember what I said Scooby and Dane were doing? Do I wish that I could trade places with my son? ABSOLUTELY not. He is in the arms of our Lord--"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" ~Rev 21:4
What a wonderful thought...
May God bless Pfc Roy L. Jones (Scooby), God bless you and your family and God bless America!

Nanette--Remember, I will ALWAYS feel your pain. And my offer still stands! I love you and God loves you!
Contact me if you want to talk.

PROUD Mother of
Specialist Dane R. Balcon
KIA, 5 September 2007
Balad, Iraq

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Pfc Jones and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

PROUD MOTHER OF A U.S. SOLDIER

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Nanette,
We have worked together for several years. You have always been a very strong and faithful person. I never had the chance to meet Scooby, but to hear you and everyone talk about him, he was a great person. It is going to be tough for awhile so just put your trust in God. He will get you through. I thank you for letting your son join the service to fight for our freedom. The one thing that most people in this country take for granted. Just remember that Scooby is always smiling and looking down on you.

To the family and friend of PFC Jones:

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the honor in being one of PFC Jones Drill Sergeants when he entered the Army. I know there are no words I can say to possible take away your pain, but PFC Jones truely lived the Army Values and loved what he did. I want to thank you for allowing your son to be apart of the greatest organization in the world, because of him it became a better Army. He brought smiles and laughter in our lives and for that I thank him and you. PFC Jones will truely be missed and will continue to be loved by us all. But most important he will never be forgotten for his great sacrifice.

May God keep you in His care for the loss of your precious son. I read about his death and wanted to share condolences from my family and me.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE ON. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL SOMEDAY. STAY STRONG AND GODSPEED. SEMPER FI

A PROUD MARINE MOM

We once again want to thank everyone for the kind words. Me, being the mother of PFC Roy Lee Jones III (Scooby), it is so hard. I sometimes feel I have nothing to look forward to until I read how Scooby's life had such an impact on other lives. I know Scooby wouldn't want me feeling like this, and I know I have to trust in God to help me. I want to thank my son for being the man he was. I love you Scooby and you will forever be in my life, in my thoughts, and in my heart. I am so proud of you Scooby.

To the Family of Roy Lee Jones III:

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I never knew PFC Jones but I am a American Soldier and when our families mourn, we all mourn.

We ,(the United States Army)will always be there for you, we're family.

Stay encouraged and be proud that you raised a great WARRIOR.

PFC Jones was such a true warrior. As his 1SG in Iraq I am honored to have known him and truly happy to have had the opportunity to watch him grow. I went out on many missions with his squad and was always pleased when I rode in his vehicle. He was definately a professional Soldier. He is truly the Soldier every 1SG wants in his or her company. I was not there when PFC Jones passed. I had an accident that kept me from returning and had neck surgery at home. I received the unfortunate news of PFC Jones passing at home while recovering.
To the family; you need to hold your heads high in honor of PFC Jones. What an amazing Soldier! To the Soldiers of 984th; PFC Jones will watch over you all. Mourn him, drive on with the mission and never forget him.

Well I was exactly in Jones' platoon the whole deployment. I had actually just recently moved to the platoon but I talked to him many times before. I remember him telling me of his family and the hurricane incident and just how much the kid was full of life. He loved his mommy! To his family yall had one of the greatest sons, brother and uncle. To his friends...know that Jones' will always be there, in your hearts. He will never be forgotten by any of us and we know that he is watching over us and is a personal guardian angel for us all.

i would like to convey my sincere condolences to the family of Pfc. Jones. I am from india working legally in this great country and am touched by the sacrifices, young americans like Jones make everyday for a war which seems to have no end. I can hardly imagine the pain and agony the families go through and remind the same to myself at the face of any pain in my life. Your patriotism and sacrifices will always be remembered by every soul in america. I wish i could sign at every page dedicated to each of the fallen soldiers.God bless america.

To the family of PFC Jones,
My husband, Sgt. Copple, served with PFC Jones in the 984th. We wanted to offer our condolences to you and your family. Being part of a military family is a thankless job. We would like to offer our gratitude to your family and your son for his service. May God lessen your pain and give you some peace. God bless you.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
