Dear Jentel,
Just today I was thinking that I don't cry so much any more. As the pains goes away, sweet memories fill their place. There are so many things I see each day that remind me of you. Even the changing of the seasons reminds me that each day brings me closer to seeing you again. I also try to remember each time I think of you how precious everyone in my life is to me. I try to take more time to smell the roses now because I never know what tomorrow will bring. Thank you for giving my life more meaning. Joy is sweeter now because the pain was so intense. It still hurts but I can live with it now.
love
grandma

Dear Jentel,
Happy Birthday! Not so happy for us.so i will just say Birthday Jentel
This is so hard for me to write this. The pain is still so unbearable as i think of how empty life is without you, your life here and now in the next life.Wondering what you are doing right now. I have been reflecting on your life and the joy that you have brought to so many others. I have had so many tender mercies today.We sang Each life that touches ours for good in sacrament meeting today on your birhtday. The song we sang at your funeral.I heard a glen Rawson story today that was about your same situation I dont think it was your choice to go however i know you are happy and you wouldnt want to come back. And the song at the end of the story was ya each life that touches ours. We had a birthday party for you at your grave. Jes and Jordan and Emily and Amber and Hannah were there. They exchanged gifts on you behalf. Because You loved gifts so much and would get so excited.They also had blue balloons to send off. And pizza.You would have loved it. I know you are happy were you are and are fullfilling a very important mission.However i miss you so much So so much.Thank you for being our Guardian angel. Especally to Jes. Jes she misses you so much and needs you.

Hey Jentel,
A lot has happened this past few weeks that has caused me to reflect on those precious moments that I got to spend with you. In a way I am jelious of grandma B for getting the first chance to come and see you. I often sit and think about what it would be like to see you again and to pick u up and through you up in the air. Say hi to grandma for me and know that we all love you very much.

SHE HELD YOUR FAVORITE DOLL YESTERDAY AND SAT ON HER BED AND CRIED. IT BROKE MY HEART. I WISH I COULD TAKE ALL THEIR PAIN FROM THEM SO ONLY ONE OF US HAS TO HURT. I LOVE YOU AND I CRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOU ALL THE TIME.

I haven't been able to write in here for awhile, this past year has been harder then the first year, as the anniversary gets closer I wish I didn't have to face it, I know how much it hurts and in some ways it doesn't get easier, I try to live each day one hour at a time as that is how I have relearned to live my life and as time goes on the farther you get. Most of the time I try to excepte your death and think your in a better place but its over come with missing you so much and I rather have you with me having you here with Jennesa having my two girls (my Kid lings). I see girls that would have been your age today and I wonder every day what you would have looked like and what you would have been doing and what my life would have been like with a 7 year old getting ready to be baptized and what you would have been like to your sister.
Oh Jentel how I hope and dream that my tears of pain and sorrow are turned to Joy and glorious the day I reunite with you.

I Love You Princess
With all my Love, MOM

This would be the first time I wrote in this book since you died. I guess it is hard for me to find the words to express how I feel. It is amazing that a person can feel such joy, like holding you in my arms for the first time when you were born, and also feel the same amount of pain, as I held you in my arms while you were dying. I could never have imagined I would be holding my daughter in my arms watching you die. I still don't understand why you were needed home, however God must know something I don't. All I can really do is try to do more for you here. I still struggle with your loss most days, although I don't show it much. I try to carry on day to day, and try to work through life. It has been nearly 2 years since you died, and I still feel an enormous loss. It is hard having Jennesa by herself, and watching her have to do things alone. She still needs a sister, so I hope you will visit her from time to time. I love you Jentel, more than humanly possible to express. God be with you, till we meet again, peanut. Love you.
Dad

MY SWEET JENTEL'
WE SENT SOME MORE FAMILY MEMBERS TO SEE YOU. UNCLE MIKE IS NOW THERE WITH AUNT SANDY. MY FRIEND JUDY ALSO WENT TO HEAVEN JUST BEFORE UNCLE MIKE. I FORGOT TO TELL HER TO LOOK YOU UP. I'M SURE SHE'LL FIND YOU ANYWAY. I SURE MISS ALL OF YOU. I CAN'T WAITE UNTIL WE ARE ALL TOGETHER AGAIN. JENNESA AND JORDAN ARE HAPPY BUT THEY MISS YOU TOO. JENNESA WANTS A BROTHER OR SISTER. SHE MISSES YOU SO MUCH. WE WOULD ALL LIKE A NEW BABY IN THE FAMILY BUT I'M NOT SURE IT WILL EVER HAPPEN. IF YOU HAVE ANY PULL UP THERE, PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR US AND ASK GOD TO SEND US A LITTLE ONE.
LOVE,
GRANDMA

Jentel,

You have especially been on my mind this past month. It is so hard to believe that it was just this time last year that we were enduring such an awful event. It seems like time has gone by so quickly, but yet has stood still. I am amazed at your parents persistent strength. They are a true example for all of us to follow. Jenessa has gotten so big and tall. She hardly looks like a toddler at all anymore. You're never far from our hearts. I don't know that closure has set yet but acceptance is setting in. Jentel I feel so honored that I was able to be a part of your life even if it was just for a brief moment, I will still have a lifetime of memories with your bright smiling face. I love you and miss you very much. Love, Your Aunt Jenn

Jentel-

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I've missed you. We have started another year at school. I look out onto the playground and see the bench and tree that we planted for you, and that will always keep your memory alive. I will never forget your sweetness and how much you have blessed my life. Your family stays in my thoughts and prayer.

Love,

Your teacher,

DEAR JENTEL,

I JUST FINISHED YOUR MEMORY BOOK. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE ANYTHING COULD HURT THIS BAD FOR THIS LONG. THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING. THE DAYS ARE FILLED WITH MEMORIES OF YOU. YOU BROUGHT ME SUCH JOY. THERE ARE SO MANY HAPPY THINGS TO REMEMBER, LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE. I GUESS YOU REALLY DID NEED IT. ONE OF THE CARROT SEEDS YOU PLANTED IS STILL GROWING. NO ONE WANTED TO HELP ME EAT THE CHERRY TOMATOS. I GUESS THAT WAS SOMETHING JUST FOR US. I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU PLANT YOUR OWN GARDEN. I HAD A LOT OF DREAMS FOR YOU. BEING AN ANGEL AT 5 WASN'T ONE OF THEM. I'M TRYING HARD NOT TO CRY BUT THE TEARS JUST KEEP COMING. GOD PROMISED TO DRY MY TEARS AND I'M HOLDING HIM TO THAT PROMISE. I LOVE YOU LITTLE ONE.

Just because there hasnt been any entry here for a while dosn't mean you havent been in our thoughts. We think about you daily many times. Also we continually think about your mom and dad and jenessa and worry about how they are handling everything. You have changed all of our lives forever. We are working hard so that we will be able to be with you again. Missed you all coming down to go swimming and having fun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE PRINCESS! I'M SURE YOU WILL LIKE YOUR PARTY. WE'RE HAVING BLUE BALLOONS. WE ARE ALL GOING TO SEND THEM TO YOU WITH MESSAGES.

I'M SURE YOU ARE VERY BUSY MAKING PLANS FOR THE REST OF US TO COME LIVE WITH YOU. I GUESS THAT'S WHY YOU ALWAYS LIKED TO PLAN PARTIES. YOU KNEW YOU WOULD HOST THE BIGGEST FAMILY REUNION OF ALL.

WHEN I THINK OF YOU, I THINK OF A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN FULL OF POISE AND GRACE. YOU SAID YOU MISSED JESUS. I GUESS YOU'RE NOT MISSING HIM ANY MORE.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER,

We all are lucky to have her know us and have her on our side up there in heaven.

My dear sweet Jentel, who would of thought I would be celebrating your birthday this way. Just 6 months ago I was telling you when your birthday was, telling you "when the snow is gone then its your birthday", every month you would remind me and you sure would tell others when it was and if they were invited and what kind of party it was going to be. Here I am celebrating your birthday at the cemetery how hard it is to even imagine just 6 years ago to this day life would be like this, that you would have been gone.
6 years ago you came into my life, and you change it. I never thought I could love someone so much and so pure. The day you where born I spent 12 hours in labor and about 5 hours pushing and by 6:30pm I was done, you did not want to come out, so a c-section was done and you were born a 7:23pm on a tuesday night. You where always determine to do things when you wanted and how you wanted to do it. The day I left the hospital, I said "oh my what do I do now". No one told me you didn't come with a instruction book, Jentel you taught me how to be a mom, you helped me wright my own instruction book. You were a wounderful blessing to me in my life. Jentel there hasn't been a day that hasn't gone by that I haven't thought of you, you will always be in my heart with all those great and wonderful memories that you have left me. I love you with all my heart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS

Jentel,

I got home from school tonight and found a picture of you, Drew and Madi at Disneyland. Then it hit me...you are really gone.

The biggest regret that I have in my life is not being around you, your sister and Jordan more; that I am so far away from "my girls." I keep thinking about all the things in your life that I missed - your first steps, your first words, seeing you ride your Barbie car, the first time the Tooth Fairy came to visit, your first day of school - all of the things that an Aunt should never miss.

Jentel, I hope that you know that even though I was not around you a lot, there was, and is, not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, your sister or your cousin. All of you are in my heart and I love each one of you...there is not a distance in the world that could stop that from happening.

I love you little girl...

Where's Jentel?

I miss her?

I feel sad. Where is my bestfriend? where is my true friend to play with.

Where is Jentel?

Mom I miss Jentel!!!

I feel so lost without her

I have been told she is with Heavenly father but when is she coming back to us?

I miss Jentel. I miss hugging her,holding her,playing with her,watching movies with her,sleeping with her, laughing with her,holding on to her and falling over laughing with her.I miss her showing me how to play barbies and what to say to them.I miss her dressing me up in funny clothes and laughing about it.

Our last day together was doing just that.

I miss dressing up like a princess with you.

I miss riding in our truck with you on one side of the window and me on the other drinking our gatorade that Dad bought us.

I miss you always making sure I got my take home treat from grandma.

I miss going with you to the dollar store with mom to pick a prize

Its hard to go to Mcdonalds anymore with grandpa its just not the same

I keeping asking where is Jentel?

I miss her

I love you Jentel

love Jennesa

Jen and Aaron,

I am so please with the way you guys have been such good parents and raised your kids with good values and to where they could return to God. I wished so bad that I could make this go away and be back to the way it was. I love you guys so much and I wished this was not something that you had to go thru. Thank you to both of you for bringing such a light to both of our family's with Jentel and Jenessa. I feel so honored that we was able to spend the time with Jentel and have her know us. What a great spirit that she has. The only good thing about this is that she made it back. That is what we all are trying to acheive for us and for our kids. I love you and please let me be there for you with what ever I can do for you. To the Adams family thank you for doing this book. It is a good way to help the healing.

Love Joann

My Dear Sweet Jentel,

I have not been able to put the words together since this whole nightmare began. My heart feels like it was smashed and has had a hard time repairing. When I came back home from the funeral, I put a blue flower wreath up and blue ribbons all over. The blue ribbons have gone but the flower wreath is still there. I can't seem to take it down. All of my dreams that I had planned to do with you, it is so hard knowing that they will not happen. Mariah keeps going to call you to talk and do your practice songs and then remembers that she can no longer reach you through the phone. We can feel that you are near. Our heart aches to have you not here with us but we know that you have received the highest reward. You have so many here that loves you and we know you have many there in heaven that love you to. I have seen such compasion and love on both sides of your mom and dad's family. There are many broken hearts. Thank you for all that you gave to all who you met. I miss you so much. I will be here to take care of your mom and grandma with what ever I can do to help them. That is another hard part of this is seeing the pain that they are going thru and not being able to lift it. I know that you are there with them. You truly have the best Mom. She will make it and be with you again. You have a great dad to. They both miss you a great deal. They did a good job of taking care of you while you were here and giving you a great life. I admire both of them. We Love you Jentel.

Until we meet again.

Love Aunt Wanny

Our little princess full of beauty and grace

Hair always braided with bows and with lace

Always a smile on your beautiful face

Our little princess bright and fair

long long locks of golden hair

sometimes bold sometimes shy

The apple of her daddy's eye

Our little princess loved by all

quietly playing down the hall

dress up, tea party's, dolls

and playing house. At home or at

grandma's and grandpa's house

tea, crackers, cookies and toast

always, always the perfect host.

And though you were with us

only a short while. We will

always remember you warm sweet smile.

Mama's little helper and a big sister too,

your sweet voice and eyes of blue

we all have found and special memories to,

these are only just a few.

Our little princess has gone away

but we all know one thing that is true,

that someday soon we will again be with you.

Our Little Angel

Jennifer Adams

May 22, 2005

Jentel,
From the first time I felt you, from the first time I saw you, you were the apple of daddys eye, you were the sunshine in my face, you were our angel. You made me laugh, you made me cry, you made me wish, you made me dream, you are the joy in my life. As a mother all I wanted was the very best for you.
A nightmare of loosing a child has come true, yet the dream and wish, for you to return to your Heavenly Father and be given the highest kingdom has come true. Jentel what you have accomplished in 51/2 years, is taking us a lifetime to accomplish.
Your sister misses you. I always thought how lucky I was that my two girls who weren't just sisters they were best friends, you showed her the way of life, the way to be, she has always looked up to you. Not only were you an angel then for your sister, but now your an angel forever for her, and I know you'll continue to be there for her.
Jentel you have touched so many people in so many different ways, the outpour of support and love has been amazing. The cards, flowers, gifts, dedication of your tree, the yard that you helped plan, the thoughts and prayers and the shoulders to cry on, have been numbers, so many that I couldn't even try to count.
Oh Jentel how I have missed you, your face, your smile, your voice, your attitude, your loves and kisses, your playing, "it's so quiet".
It's been a month and there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought of you, or seen something to remind me of you, I think that's the hardest part, is all the things you've left behind they represent you, and who you are, and your personality.
I miss you and I LOVE YOU JENTEL!!!
"Once upon a time" is how the stories go, Fantasy and Fairy Tales and "Over the rainbow". Dressing up in mommy's clothes fills the room with laughter, Pretending is a wonderful way to live
"Happily Ever After".

Dear Jen and Aaron,

I was very saddened and shicked with disbelief when I heard the very sad news. My sister lost her young son in a very sad accident last year, so I have a slight idea of what you guys (and the whole family and friends) of the grief and sadness you guys must be going through. I can't even imagine the lost and sadness that you guys must be going through. No one should have to ecperience what you guys are going through. You guys have been in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be so. I wish that there was more that we could do for you guys. You two are two of my best friends. Always have been and always will be. If there is anything, and I mean anything at all that you guys need or that we can do for you, please do not heisitate to ask. I love you guys greatly. My love, simpathy and blessing go out to you. God bless you and watch over you. May you be blessed to live with your sweet daughter again in heaven for all eternity.

with love and friendship,

Phillip Candland

Jentel

It has been 4 weeks today that you left us. It seems just like yesterday and then again it seems like it has been forever since I have seen your bright smile and heard your laughter. The spring flowers are in bloom in Grandma's garden and I keep waiting for you to pick her a boquet. Time has helped a little bit but there is still a large part of our hearts missing that you filled. Most of all I miss the bright smile you brought to your Mom and Dad. Be patient with us if we still shed a few tears from time to time. I miss you very much and look forward to the time when I can hold you again. Know that you are missed and that you are loved very much and still as much a part of this family as you ever were...and remember why I used to tease you.

Love Papa

Jentel: It just seems like yesterday that I was taking you and Jenesa to McDonald's for lunch and having a fun time watching you play in the play land. I will always remember that time I had to spent with you. It is hard to believe that you are gone and that I can't have you sitting on my lap and hold you, I am very, very sorry that I didn't take more advantage of those moments with you. Your smile will always bring a smile to me and at the same time alot of sadness to me because I can't hold you and talk to you,seeing you grow into a beautiful young woman. I see alot of you in your mother when she was a little girl, and that helps alot when I see your mother. Jentel you will always be my LITTLE GIRL. I know you are with someone that loves you even as I and your Grandma B. does and that is your loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. My Love and prayers will always be there for you.

Love your Grandpa B.

Jentel,

I miss you Jentel. I know you are living with Heavenly Father right now. I know you are safe and happy with Jesus. I planted some blue forget-me-not flowers in my yard for you. I think of you when I see them. I miss playing with you at recess. I miss you sitting next to me in class. I pray for you, Jentel.

I've been thinking about Aaron and his family since his little girl died. I have known Aaron since the seventh grade. He and I were good friends in those awkward years. Our friendship continued into high school as well. I didn't know Jentel, and I haven't met Aaron's wife or his other daughter, but I know something about them. What I know is that they have a very sensitive and caring man in their lives. Even back then, Aaron was a kind and gentle person. I feel sadness for Jentel, that she didn't get to experience life on this earth for very long. But I do know that the life she had was full and happy. Our Heavenly Father could not have sent her to a better earthly father. Jentel had the best. There is no doubt in my mind that though her life was short, she was happy and well-loved. I thank our Eternal Father for that as I also ask him to give extra love and support to my childhood friend and his family as they live each day here without their precious child. My love and thoughts Aaron, to you and yours.

It seems like only yesterday I was helping you act out a scene or play that you have made up or saw on tv. I will never forget those precious memories I have of you. I still can not believe that you are gone. It doesn't seem real. I keep thinking that any minute you are going to come running in the doors to grandmas house wanting to show us some new toy you have gotten. I will always remember that big smile you always seem to have. You will always be in my heart and prayers. I LOVE YOU Telly!

Jentel, it still does not seem real. Everytime I am over at Grandma and Grandpa Adams I still keep thinking that you are going to come pouncing through the door in your little tinkerbell dress and start twirling in circles in the family room like you loved to do. We all miss you so much and there is such a void in our hearts. The only thing that seems to comfort us and make our tears stop is reminiscing about you. You were our little actress that never had to be entertained because you had enough imaginary friends to keep you busy. You meant so much to Uncle Brett and I! Our nieces and nephews mean the world to us and it is so hard to have to lose you. The only thing that comforts me is knowing that you are in a happier place where you will never have to experience anger, pain, or fear. Our heavenly father had bigger plans for you than we were ever aware of and though right now that is hard to accept I know one day we will be comforted with that. You will always be in my heart and I look forward to the day that we will get to spend eternity together. I love you and miss you so much!

In my garden of life, my grandchildren are my most precious blossoms. I didn't know I would have to give you back to your Heavenly Parents so soon. I'm glad I can give you back with no regrets. Every moment I spent with you was special. You were my Angel Princess from the moment of your birth. My little rays of sunshine still lighten up my life, one just shines from afar. I know my tears of sorrow will turn to tears of joy. The tears of sorrow are like the passing of the long and lonely night. The tears of joy will come as the sun in the morning brings hope of a better day. I love you little princess. You have made me proud.

Your Loving Grandmother

Our heartfelt condolences go out to you at this time.

I loved seeing her beautiful smile and hearing her shy little hello. She truly brought sunshine to any room she was in. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you feel the peace and comfort of our Father's love. Thank you for sharing your sweet daughter with us for a short time.

Dear Adams Family,

I was the Primary President in the River Oaks 5th ward and had the opportunity of having Jentel in our ward every week. What a blessing for me to get to know Jentel. She was a beautiful little girl who was always kind, gentle and tender.She was an angel. I loved seeing her come to Primary and sit on the front row. She radiated happiness and light. We were also blessed to have Jennifer serve in the nursery. News of Jentel's death was devastating. I want you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that Heavenly Father will watch over you and encircle you with His love. May you be comforted in this time of need. Thank you for sharing Jentel with us. Heaven is so lucky to have her, but we will all miss her beautiful smile. May you be filled with peace knowing that she is with Heavenly Father. On those difficult days, may your sweet memories of Jentel fill your soul and heart with light and love. All my love. Carol Ann Wiley

Jentel, I keep trying to understand. All I can come up with is our heavenly father needed you. I can't explain the loss I feel, but what a joy it must of been for all angels to have you back home. I sit by myself and cry with tears of sorrow for myself and your family here on earth. At the same time the joy that is felt in heaven as you returned home a perfect spirit. I know I will see you again but the time seems to go so slow. My tears are interupted by smiles when I think of the times we have had together. I can't wait for th e moment when I am again belessed with your smile. You will always be my princess. I love you Jentel and I will see you again when it is time.

Dear Jennifer,

I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear about your beautiful little girl. I also know that there is nothing I can say to make it any easier. But I want you to know that I remember what a wonderful person you were when we grew up together. I think about stitting on blankets in your living room reading the scriptures before YW camp. I can see you in your daughters eyes and know that you continue to touch people with your sweet spirit. I wish you love and peace, even when it seems impossible. And I offer a long-overdue thank for your friendship so long ago.

Shannon and Michelle, I am here always for you both. Brett and Ken please accept my prayers for your loss. Amanda, you are also in my prayers. I wish you love.

Along with tears of sadness from your family here on earth, were tears of joy from your family in heaven......at your return home.

Sweet spirits such as yours do not have to journey long upon the earth and return home to Father in Heaven.....with exaltation.

May your family here on earth feel peace in their hearts knowing you are watching over them, that you are well, that you are with the Father.

My sister called me today to tell me that Aaron's little girl died. My heart is overwhelmed with many emotions. I am so sad for Aaron and his wife. I too, have a five year old, and I cannot fathom what they must be feeling right now. And though her life was short, I am also happy for Jentel. Such a sweet spirit, our Heavenly Father must have needed her home. Ultimately I know that she is happy, but that doesn't make it any easier for her family here who will miss her. I just wanted Aaron and his family to know that I am thinking about them and keeping them in my prayers.

I am the current Primary President in Ken and Susans ward. I was in the presidency when Jentel was a part of us. You are absolutely right...she was a princess and a perfect little angel. She had the most sweetest, innocent personality, that could reach out and grab you. She has left an impression in my heart that will never be forgotten. She has accomplished so much in this life, and now she is able to accomplish even more with our Father in Heaven. My heart goes out to you and your family. Love,

It's only been a day, it still doesn't feel real. You are so special to me. How much I am going to miss you telling me "I can do anything I want, I'm a princess". I know you are so happy right now back with our heavenly father. You are such a special and perfect daughter of god. The void that has been left in my heart is wide, only to be filled with the memories of the time I was blessed with your spirit and life. There is no way for me to put into words how blessed my life has been to have had you as a part of it. Jentel I love you, and you will always be in my heart. You will always be a princess to me. You have started a new journey and I hope I can live my life by your example so I can be with you again. I miss you Jentel and will keep you close until we meet again.

Love, your Uncle Brett
