Norman, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. In reading the other entries in the Guest Book, Jason seems to have been a son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and friend anyone would be proud to call their own. My heart goes out to you and your family and know that even though they are no longer with us here on this earth we will meet them in heaven one day, and what joy it will be to be together with them again. God be with you and your family as you go through this very, very sad time. Sincerely,

I carry your heart with me.

I carry it in my heart.

I am never without it.

Anywhere I go you go, my dear;

and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling.

I fear no fate for you are my fate, my sweet.

I want no world for beautiful you are my world, my true and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.

Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart.

I carry it in my heart.

-dedicated to Jason a wonderful beautiful light in my life, never forgotten.

Norm, Debbie, & Todd;

Where does one begin? I have prayed daily (sometimes more than once a day) for you since hearing about Jason. It breaks my heart first as a mother but also as a friend to imagine your pain. God must have needed an angel, and he took the best one! That is the only reason I can think that he would take Jason so soon!

You will remain in my prayers for a long time. Please take care of each other and Todd.

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.

Jason and I attended Security Academy at Dominion in 2005. Although we had only known each other a short time, I considered Jason a good friend. He was smart, witty, and level headed. He had a bright future ahead of him. Jason will be missed by many coworkers (friends) at Dominion, and I consider myself lucky to have known him. I will miss him his friendship.

I cannot imagine the pain all of you are having to endure, but I do know that the pain is less with the knowledge that Jason is with our Lord. If there is anything that I can do at any time please let Pat know. My wish for you would be that the memories will over shadow the pain. My prayers are with you and all of your loved ones.
