Johnny and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jai's passing. I remember when he was a precious child how he would run from your mom's house to my grandmother's house to give us both a big hug and how he still took the time to do that as he grew into a young man with a beautiful smile and charming personality. He will be greatly missed and I know that you will find comfort in your memories and love. God Bless you, Jai and your entire family. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you all.

Apreciado Hermano chos norris
Querida Hermana Guatinga
estamos preparados para ver partir a nuestros padres pero no para la partida de un hijo, nosotros como padres entendemos eso....en situaciones como esta la vida se nos congela, cuenten con el calor que les brindo, apoyen en mi hombro y lloraremos los tres....de ahora hay que tener mas fortaleza y vivir para recordar el pasado con una sonrisa y sentir que lo estamos haciendo bien... un abrazo y un beso de hermano...los quiero!!!!!

Always smiling and playing jokes on someone, that's how I will remember you... as a friend that might as well be family. Loved by all who knew you and mourned now as we have to go on without you. Hope you know how much you are loved and missed already. Mr. Johnny and Mrs. Wanda I love you both and I can't even begin to imagine your pain. My prayers are with you. XOXO

R.I.P. "TIC TOC"
WE LOVE YA AND WE WILL MISS YA.
OUR PRAYERS AND SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I thought this was very beautiful so I had to repost it:

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.

Jai... it has been a while and I am sorry we didn't get to spend time together before God had called for you. I will never fprget about you since we shared a special gift between you and I. I hope you are partying up in heaven. You will be missed until we are some day reunited

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.



Jai we love you and you will forever be missed. I pray for your family and all your friends, I pray we can find peace and comfort knowing you’re in a better place and that we will see you again one day.

Luv Ya Baboo Always, Jessica & Jayla
