James Nathan Groat

James,
I literally can’t believe it’s been 8 years since the world lost you. I was looking at my calendar today and as I scanned past the 27th my heart dropped. I wasn’t meaning to think about you but it felt like a punch to my stomach when I looked at that date. I wonder what you’d be doing today... You made a bigger impact on people than you know and I hope you can still feel how loved you were and are. I’m praying for your Mama extra this week. (If you see this, I love you Renee!) XoXo

It's been a long 4 years, but then again, it seems like the time has flown by so quickly with so much happening. I went up to the cemetery yesterday to see you my precious son. It still doesn't seem possible that you are gone from our lives. You are so missed! I can't wait to see you again my James. I Love you so very much!
Wrapping my arms around you in a Big Hug,
Mom

Today is one of those days that I can't stop thinking about you. I have so many regrets and what ifs that go through my mind, and strange dreams that make me question everything. Saying you are missed doesn't begin to explain this, but you are so missed James. I will see you again.

Happy Birthday in Heaven James. We love and miss you so much.

It still hurts, not having you here. I love you James and miss you so much. Two years without you is too long. I love you forever little brother.

I remember you from chevron, you were a regular... if i remember right camel frost i believe... I was just telling my mom about you today, I can't believe it... you were remarkable polite to us cashiers, and didn't have to be... We all remember you because of your kindness... rest in peace, man.

As 2013 closes and we embark upon another year without you, my heart is hurting that I have to leave you again in a year I can never re-live. Another year dawns without you in it, and this brings me great sadness. Another year to face without my baby brother James, who I love so very dearly. I feel that every day I live, I leave you further behind. I wish so much that you were still here with us. You will never be forgotten James. You were a great man and you didn't even know it. I hope Jesus...

With heavy hearts and tear filled eyes
family and friends bid you goodbye.
Gathered this day united in sorrow,
yet sure in faith of a brighter tomorrow.
Although you've gone, we feel you neaar.
You are so loved by everyone here.
you touched our lives in numerous ways and brightened many of our days.
Sharing memories of time with you is something that we love to do. We laugh, we cry, with joy and pain.
Goodbye for now until we meet again.
