Today 12/2023 I am still remembering Jasmina! Back in 2010 I got this guitar and was looking for a name for her for the ages. She is a mint rare Ibanez 91 JEM77-FP Steve Vai Signature Black Floral Pattern.
I named her after Jasmina for her love of life, music and love! Long after I am gone people will still hear of Jasminia Anema because of this guitar!

May the God of comfort and tender mercies continue to comfort you and your family.

Know that very shortly death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things will have passed away.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

To the Anema family, I'm sorry for the loss of Jasmina. She was a beautiful and brave girl. I remember watching a classmate of mine in Graduate School battling leukemia, and I was concerned for her as I saw her deal with her symptoms. Jasmina was courageous and I'm sure it was a true blessing to have her in your life. I'm glad that her wish came true when she met President Barack Obama. To the last three entry makers on this page, Linda, Vanessa, and Janet, I'm truly sorry for your losses as well. You all have angels watching over you now. Here are some hugs from Illinois to all of you.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Jasmina Anema.

The grief, the pain, the feelings of helplessness can be unbearable when you lose someone you love. In fact, the human mind can only gradually accept the reality of the terrible loss.
I know your life will never be the same, because I too, have lost a son.
But we must remember "Life is a precious gift", even after the heartache of losing a loved one. "Life remains a precious Gift" for those left behind, because we still have much to contribute to others.
Wise King Solomon once said, that there is "a time to Weep." But he also said that there needs to be "a time to Heal."--Ecclesiastes 3:3,4

May 14, 2010

Hello my dear. You have no worries now. As for those you've left behind for now , they'll feel your grace throughout their lives.

Philip 4:6~Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer...along with thanksgiving let YOUR petitions be made known to GOD.

Monica ~Hebrews 13:15

May 2, 2010

To the Anema Family,
No words can really comfort you through this terrible loss. Only time can ease the overwhelming pressure you are going through.
My prayers and condolences go out to your family, remember always the joy and happiness Your Jasmina brought to you in the hope that it can ease the hurt.
John 5:28,29~"Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life…

After losing many family members to cancer (I just lost my Gram to brain cancer) my heart breaks for Jasmina and her family. I myself have a 2 year old son, and I cannot imagine losing him. I can only hope her pain has ended, and that her family and loved ones can in time after sharing this brief life with such a special little one. Each year I participate in ACS relay for life, this year we will light a candle for your angel. May you find comfort in the days ahead, and in time, remember her with fewer tears, and many more smiles. Much love to you all

He Will Call
Job 14:13-15

Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow.
All that we are can quickly fade away,
Replaced with tears and sorrow.
If a man should die, can he live again?
Hear the promise God has made:

He will call; The dead will answer
They shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing
For the work of his own hand.
So have faith, and do not wonder,
For our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever,
As the work of his own hand.

Friends of our God, though they may pass away,
Will never be forsaken.
All those asleep who in God’s mem’ry stay,
From death he will awaken.
Then we’ll come to see all that life can be;
Paradise eternally.

He will call; The dead will answer
They shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing
For the work of his own hand.
So have faith, and do not wonder,
For our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever,
As the work of his own hand.

May the loving and fond memories of Jasmina engulf your hearts and mind and keep you moving forward.

Right now people will quote biblical scriptures that they think will bring comfort. But the truth is that it is more than painful. But as God heals the hurt and take away the pain remember that the love still stays. I know because I've been there. Do what you need to get over this even if it means medication for a moment. Nobody can tell you how you feel; only you know. This too shall pass.
Praying for you,
Denise Jones

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I was online and saw Jasmina picture, it captured my attention and led to me write this: I don't know why some life is so short but God know everyone of us and He knew she had completed her assignment here and was ready to come home and began her new eternal life. Be at peace you will see her again and the beauty she shared here on earth is nothing compared to what God has prepared for her in heaven.
Weeping may endure for a night but Joy in the morning. Thank God for the morning.
Rest in Peace Brave Little Soldier.

My deepest condolences are with you and your family at this very difficult time. I find it very comforting to meditate on the word found in the Holy Writing at Job 14:14,15 "All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, You will call, and I myself will answer you. Job expressed his faith that God would bring him back to life should he fall asleep in death. This scripture indicate that its possible to reunite with are loved one who have passed. Also comforting is the scripture a James 1:13. Psalm 37:11.
