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 you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

As friends of Jason's parents we know the pain and agony Ed and Alice have endured the last three years. Their world revolved around their children. No one can be prepared to feel such grief. I am so sorry. God Bless all of you.

Jason was a great 18 year old who packed a lot of living into everyday. We, too, miss him. His life was tragically taken from him. It should never have happened.

We know 3 years is a long time to live with the pain you have been going through. May you be comforted in the hope of seeing your son, Jason, again. He will be there to greet us all, won't he? We miss him so much. Too young too die.

Our most sincere sympathy and prayers go out to you Alice and Ed. I know you loved your Jason more than your own lives. It's always so nice to see you keeping his memory alive. Call anytime.

Our hearts have been broken for 3 years now. Jason was an inspiration to all of us.

We were honored to have known Jason. He was a hard working young man, who always had another project coming up. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and I do believe he was a very happy 18 year old!!We will miss him everyday for the rest of our lives.

There are other web-sites for Jason. His mom has one @ memory-of.com. Also, Legacy.com has a previous one. If you knew Jason,and miss him as we do, you will enjoy seeing all of his pictures.

I saw Jason's picture in the paper yesterday morning. I, too, will always remember the boy with a love of life and his family. We wish there was more we could have done for Jason while he was alive.

My mom showed me your recent tribute to Jason and we were touched on the deepest level with what was written so I felt compelled to come by and leave a note in Jason's guestbook.

I lost my younger brother - Justin Espinoza - in a car accident right before Christmas. We also have a Legacy guestbook for him. We have so many unanswered questions as well.

My mother especially identified with the words - Don't be fooled; time does not heal or mend. It only makes you realize all the things your child will never get to do - because that is exactly how she feels. The words - We had no choice but to let you go - made both of us cry. We know how difficult this is for all involved.

Much love to the family of Jason. I know your entire worlds have changed. Thank you for your powerful words. We are so sorry for your loss.

I know it's been three long, tough years for those Jason left behind. I hope he can watch over us and rest in peace.

Dear Jason: We all miss you so much. You were one of the good guys. Thanks for being a short part of my life. It may not have been a lot of years, but it was probably the most fun we will all ever have.

Thanks to all of you who remember and think of Jason. On line you may visit Jason's website at memory-of.com under his name. Thanks, Alice

As I write this, I still cannot believe it is the third anniversary of Jason's death. I still cannot believe this is how his life turns out. No one can imagine when they first hold a newborn baby that this joyful moment would, down the road, lead into the worse possible scenerio: DEATH. Parents still worry about their children long after they are buried. The parent/protector doesn't end at the funeral. Our lives are tied up in the ifs and whys and the constant thoughts of Jason that we are doing all we can to just survive day after day in this nightmare called, "our life".

To other parents suffering over the death of a child, I am so sorry for your loss. May we all somehow get the strength to carry on and may you feel your child's love for you. They did not go willingly. Our children did not want to leave us. On the other hand, I must believe and accept that they were chosen for their special qualities to work for God in the kingdom of Heaven. And we shall all someday be reunited as a family again.

God Bless You, Jason, we will love you until the day we die and beyond. Be at peace my son. You were the best.

Later, J

They say memories are golden,

Well maybe that is true.

We never wanted memories Jason. We only wanted you.

A million times we needed you,

A million times we cried.

If love alone could have saved you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you Jason

In death we love you still.

If tears could build a stairway

and heartache make a lane,

We'd walk right up to heaven

and bring you back home again.

No farewell words were spoken

No time to say good-bye

You were gone before we knew it

AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY

What it meant to lose you

No one will ever know......

Just a few days before Jason was killed

For our Jason:
Our hearts are filled with the over-whelming grief of losing you. How have we ever survived? I do not know. Time does not heal anything. It only makes me realize all of the things you never got to do in your short lifetime. You would have been a great father - you learned from the very best. You would have been there for your sister. Now she is all alone. As parents, we tried to be there right by your side from the time you were born. The only way to go on is to tell myself that God needed our son. Watch over us Jason until we are all together again. We love you and have been, and will always be, proud of you. Later J......mom
