Amanda sorry about your loss. Jason will always be an angel watching over you. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Read this and wanted to pass it on.
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.

I never had the opportunity to meet you, Jason; for that I am sorry. I know your mom, dad, Jon and Helen. They dearly love you. You have been such a blessing to them and have greatly enriched their lives. Their hearts deeply saddened that you have moved on to Heaven. They know you are safe, happy and waiting for them with opened arms. Your precious wife, Amanda, will carry your love in her heart forever. Her sadness is greater than she has ever experienced. They will all find the strength to move forward.... bit by bit with your love & memory in their hearts and Jesus by their sides. much love to all, Jimmie

11 years my daughter Amanda brought over a co-worker that she had fast became friends with. He was this big goofy guy who had a very quick wit and the most sweetest smile...So it was no surprise that less than a year later she came to tell me that she was in love with him. From the day they married to this day I was never treated like a mother-in-law,I was treated like one of his best friends and he will always be one of mine. I love you!

Jason,
When I speak of our teenage-rebelious-Clark years, I often speak of you and the rest of the Mangrove gang with joy and laughter. You made me laugh more than a hundred times over. I will never forget you and thanks for being my friend.

True love found me..and how lucky is that ? That in a world where so many search, dream and hope for a love unlike any other.I was blessed enough to experiance it, a Love so strong and undoubtably real that everything else came second. Jason was my Happy.I am completely broken and will be so lost without him by my side for a long time I am sure. I know with my entire being he was my soulmate for this life and his absence physically is taking a huge toll on me right now. This beautiful man has set the bar so freakin' high in so many ways for me personally. I guarantee many of us that love him , worked with him and befriended him can all come to an agreement that the mold was deffinately broke on that one. I love him so much and will miss him forever. Untill we meet again my one and only ,beautiful man. You are in my thoughts always...my baby J.

Amanda - my precious Mandy,
You are in my heart and prayers. The days may appear dark and dreaded, but the clouds will part soon and he will be smiling down on you. You are a very strong woman and will smile again, even if it's not today. I love you my dear. I hope that you find comfort in your friends and family at this time. If you need to disappear from it all, just call and I will rescue you.
Luv you!
