While I could not remember the exact day you left this world, I knew we were approaching the one year mark.
You see, I wasn't really close to you, but I new you through my family and friends. It breaks my heart to see them suffer so badly without you.
I am a mother and a grandmother and I can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be to loose one of my own, whether they are 35 or 8 months old. That never ending love is given to you each time a new member of your family is born or added.
My grandsons tell me how exceptionally hard it is for your Grandma and Grandpa. Each holiday, birthday, special event only brings more pain. And one of my youngest grandsons also takes your passing very hard. He's so little, yet has such a big heart and I worry about him understanding why you had to go. You were his buddy and playmate and he misses you dearly.
Will our hearts be broken forever? Will we ever heal?
Just wanted to let you know how many hearts you touched. Even someone like me.....who really didn't know you.
Good-bye for now little one.....and please watch over my own and keep them safe from harm. And, maybe, could you please keep an eye on Joey and help him heal? You are forever in his heart.
Thinking of you always,
From a heart broken Grandma.

Memories
If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts... for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back. We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears, we know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts, and happy memories too...
Buy we never wanted memories,
We only wanted YOU !!!
I'm not quite sure who wrote that, I got it from the funeral, but it means the world to to me. It was a year ago today that we lost you and you went to a better place. Unfortunately, I have a selfish heart... I wish you were here. Love & Miss you Baby !!! Dance...

Jada, Please send your Dad and Mom a beautiful dream, let them know you love them and just want them to be happy. We all miss you so much, the heart ache sometimes seems too much. But we know you are watching over us and your love will someday heal all our broken hearts. Love you more. Grandma and Grandpa.

Hello Jada,
It's been almost six months now, and your 8th birthday is coming up next week. Sweetpea, I miss you even more than I did six months ago,
and love you just as much as then. I don't think the pain will go away until I once again see you.
Love,
Grandpa

Jada,
Our love for you will never die - it warms our heart each day.
Till we can be with you again - it surely is God's way.
And when our days are over and the Good Lord comes for me - we'll be together evermore in God's eternity.
Love Great Grandmother Genaw

I never met Jada personally, but get a sense of how loved she was by reading the thoughts of family and friends. Loss is always difficult - regardless of age yet seems more intense with someone so young. We struggle with thoughts of, "If only..." and perhaps dread each day. The days will eventually become easier, and I know that Jada will never be forgotten.
My prayer is that this family find healing and unity by celebrating the love they shared for this special little girl.
Blessings to you always...

Hello,
While I did now know Jada or your family, I did do some business with her Grandmother on ebay. I learned of your great loss and just wanted to pass along my prayers and best wishes.

To my dear Grand-Niece, Jada. You are and always will be sweet and precious in our hearts and memories. You brought more joy to those around you in your young life than do many others throughout a long lifetime. I will always smile when I look upon the photos of you as well as the "singing santa" that you loved to listen to at Great Grandma Ruth's house when you would come to visit.
Be at peace. We all love you very much. Love, Uncle Kevin and Antie Sue.

We still can not believe that lovely little Jada has been taken to heaven - she will always spiritually be with all of her loved ones forever. We are John's god parents and love him dearly. I wish I had the words right now to console his grief.
Jada's laugh was infectious and she was loved by all who crossed her path. I remember her love of animals, even our big wolfhound type dog named Jake! Her and John, her Dad were here one summer day when John was fixing something or other for us and she was the only child I ever knew who was not terrified of Jake! She just couldn't get enough of him and played catch and ball with him all afternoon. She also enjoyed coming out to see our goats, chickens and turkeys.
Jada had a huge impact on everyone's lives in her too short 7 1/2 years on this earth. She will forever be remembered and loved.

I am at such a loss of words for what happened. It has taken me 3 days to even let the news seem real. My son Brandon and Jada met when they were only two. We lived just across the alley from Jada. Brandon and Jada became such good friends. We have so many pictures of the two kids. They did everything together... from dressing as Woody and Jesse, Batman and Batgirl for Halloween, Valentines pictures together and lots of really silly pictures we took of them because we said we would bring them back out when the kids grew up. We are so sad, but have to believe Jada is very happy where she is. Brandon has been looking through picture albums since Monday when we found out. He found a few of his favorite and put them up in his room. If there is anything we can do let us know. Sheri- I will call soon. We will never forget Jada!!! Love you all!

I can't say I loved Jada more than anyone else because she was loved by so many, and I can't say I miss Jada more than anyone else because she is missed by many more. What I can say for sure is that whenever I let lives little things bother me (money, work, my bears not winning a stinking playoff game) I will think of the times I spent with Jada that are near and dear to me so that I keep life in perspective. I will always remember you Jada, you are not gone, because each night that I fall asleep I hope to revisit Disneyland with you. Love always and forever, Uncle Scotty
Jada will forever be in Joey's Heart!

I was the first to sign this book, but I didn't really get to say what I wanted to say. The loss of Jada has just been so hard and impossible to put into words. Her loss has been so hard on my family, we can barely think of anything else. My dear Joey didn't know how to grieve for her until he walked into the funeral. He cried for hours Tuesday for his dear friend and cousin and my heart just ached for him. They were really a bunch of goof-balls together. They made everyone laugh when they were together. Whatever she wanted him to do, he did. I know we didn't get to see and do as much with her as we would have liked over the past year and I will regret that everyday here after. Everyone takes life for granted like we have forever to accomplish things we wish for, but the truth is that noboby is guaranteed tomorrow. If the loss of our dear Jada has taught me anything, it's not to wait until tomorrow to do what you want to do today. Kiss your babies and hug your teenages because you just never know what their future holds. We will always love Jada and think of her often. When I think of the spunky and caring little girl I can't help but smile. I know her spirit will live on in all of us forever more. We all have an angel out there who will be looking over us and our families and for me that gives me some piece.

In Memory or our Granddaughter,
Jada was a miracle, sent to us to fill our lives with smiles, kisses, hugs and love. She gave us a happiness and a sense of fulfillment that will always be a part of each and everyone of us, nothing can ever take that away.
She was our sweet little girl, our little Angel that God shared with us, for a time, to teach and guide us. She taught us to love life, love each other and enjoy all the everyday things around us that we too often take for granted. A walk around the block, her precious kittens, a silly joke followed by uncontrolled laughter, flowers and lightning bugs caught and released on a warm summer night.
She had a magnificent spirit that will help heal our hearts and pull our loved ones even closer together. The empty space in our hearts will fill up with sweet pictures and joyfull memories of our little miracle.---Jada, we love you more.
Love Grandma and Grandpa Genaw

When Jada was little, to distinguish the two sets of grandparents, Sheri used the grandparents dogs names (since Jada loved animals) to explain which grandparents they were going to visit. My sister, Kathy and her husband Jack, were Grandma and Grandpa Gumby and John's parents were Grandma and Grandpa Sasha. How cute! Well, then I got a cat named Tootsie and naturally I became her Aunt Tootsie. I loved it! I will cherish that and Jada the rest of my life. She is such a sweet little girl. And my heart aches for our loss...

Dear Jada,
It's me Lizzy, I miss you very much. I'm so sorry about what happened to you. I wish you were at school, it's not the same without you. I will always remember you and all the fun we had at your Halloween party in Kindergarten, and when we dressed up as princesses for your 6th Birthday Party, and going roller skating, and your Halloween party in 2nd grade. I know you are up in heaven with God and my brother Mike. Have you seen him yet? Did he show you around? Are you having fun with all the kids up there? I was very sad at your funeral yesterday and so was Alyx. I will think of you all the time.
Your friend Lizzy

Some of the most touching moments in my life were when I called Sheri friend and Jada called me Auntie. I was there within moments after she was born. Almost a year to the day later I became a Mother, Sheri an Auntie and Jada a Best Friend. The "Girls" learned, laughed and bloomed out of infancy into darling little ladies. They were beautiful little souls and together Sheri and I beamed at the beauty that was coming forth. We would talk for hours praising, planning and helping each other mother our "Girls". She was the most doting and loving Mother. The parties, the pictures,toy's and most of all Love. The love was seen by all. Nothing was out of reach for her Girl.
My soul grieves, my heart is broken, but I thank God that we had those years. We were so blessed that the "Girls" were born into friendship and so much love.
Jada will always live in our hearts. Samara's Best Friend. My and Matt's little niece.
I'll never forget her cheeky smile. THe eyes that were a different color everyday. The way she could sleep anywhere. Her love for animals.
I pray for all of us who loved her. I pray that we will see the beauty and happiness of her sweet life through the tears.
May God heal the souls of her parents and grandparents and may they find comfort in knowing that their love nurtured that beautiful little girl so we all could love her.

Jada,
I know you are in Heaven and you will always be in my heart. I am sure that the Dexter family is well aware of how many nieces, nephews, etc, etc. we have and other than my girls there is only one other family member whose picture is in my house. It was very difficult to look at it for a few days, but I will never ever put it away. I am sure others will miss you more, but I will miss you always..
Your Great-uncle Bob

Sweet Jada, I will always remember your smile, you snuggling close to Grandma and Grandpa at family gatherings. You sat at my house on Christmas Eve eating your raspberries, enjoying the annual Christmas ornament exchange. Laughing when Scottie opened the gift that you picked out just for him. When you left I gave you a long hug, you looked so pretty. I will miss you.

It is just so hard to grasp that such a wonderful little life ended so soon. How does one say goodbye to that?...I guess in knowing our world has been given another much needed angel. Your family needs you now, Jada.

I remember when Sheri was pregnant with Jada and when Jada was born. I worked with Sheri at the time, and every time I saw her, she was either bringing Jada into work or she had new pictures of her to show me. Sheri was such a proud mommy! I had numerous picutres of Jada and had put a couple of them at my desk. When I would have a bad day, I would look at the pictures and they would make me smile, and brighten my day. Jada was such a beautiful baby, toddler, and little girl. She was very special, full of life, and touched the heart of everyone she met, where she will always remain, in our hearts.
