Not sure what to say?

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Jesse, I miss you SOOO much! I hope you are doing fine up in Heaven with God, you have a new family up there. We all miss you so very much. <3 I Love You Jesse. You will always be apart of my heart. <3

JESS, YOU HAVE LEFT SUCH A HOLE IN MY HEART THAT IT CANNOT HEAL. I STILL MISS YOU SO MUCH EVERY DAY AND WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SPEND EVERY WEEKEND WITH GRAMPA AND ME. WE LOVE YOU SO. MEMA

Mr. and Mrs. Childers, I'm sorry for what has happened, and there's nothing I can say to express how happy I was with Jesse as my best friend, or how devastating it was to hear that he had gone. The only thing that we can take happiness in knowing, is that he's in a place of rest and peace and comfort now.

to our entire family-
Only being an Great Aunt to our dear Jesse, I can only but share a tad of the grief that is experienced in this time of loss. I have nothing to compare this heart wrenching occurrence to--- in all the well meaning attempts to give comfort to the parents and grandparents of Jesse would be only a suggestion.
Jesse in his quiet self contained manner was such a sweet and caring person. This world will miss the opportunity to have shared in the many accomplishments...

Dear Steve and Dawn,

Please know that my prayers are with you and all of your family now and in the days to come. May God wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you each day.

You have been in our thoughts and prayers ever since we learned about this tragedy. May God walk with you through this difficult time. Love from Tammy, John, and Ann

Dawn and Steve, Joyce and Ernest, Nancy and Alton,
There is not much else to say, all your friends, relatives, and acquaintances who signed the guest book have said it all. The only thing I can add is that we must remember that Jesse will be spending Christmas with Jesus this year. We will miss him, but we must believe that he is happy to be with all those who have gone on before us.
