i see your pictures on facebook, the ones in your moms house, my own we have put on our walls in our house and I just cannot believe you are no longer here with us. jenny, you are missed so very much even though we know your in a much better place and one day we will again be all together again. you must be proud of your son Doniven, he is turning into a man, and just a man but a responsible man. you'll be a grandmother soon.
your namesake Zoie Jennifer, is getting so big, she is a wonderful speaker and loves to perform. a very outgoing child. does this remind you of anyone?
yea it's been 11 years, but you will never ever be out of our hearts and minds.
oh your about to become an aunt once again, your sister jessy will have her second child very soon, she needs your guidance as she goes through this time.
thanks for looking out for your mom, she needs a lot of help right now and i'm sure your part of her strength.
your loving uncle

Hard to believe that this year makes 11 years since you've been gone. I miss the hell out of you and I could really use you. Especially these past few months. I've found myself thinking more and more about you and how different things would be if you were here. I'm almost 18 now and being an adult is so much harder than I thought it would be than when I was a kid. Hell, I still am. But now I have kids of my own. I really wish that you were here to see them and be Grandma. Everybody always says that you would be proud of the man that ive become and im sure that in some ways, you would be. But I just keep feeling like iv'e let you down in some ways and that you would be disappointed in me. Like I said, I could really use you right now. I miss you momma. I love you and hope to see you again one day.
Love,
Don

It has been 9 years since i have seen your pretty face...i miss you so very much. Yesterday your son turned 16. He has grown so much and is taller than me. A hairy boy like your father was. Your brother and I decided to put more into celebrating his birthday this week to encourage his growth into adulthood. We all miss you so much and not a day goes by that we dont think of you and Nana and Papa.Your remaining ashes will stay until Doniven decides what he would like to place them in and have your spirit close to all of us for our lives. I love you baby.

in a few days it will be 9 years since you've been gone. we talk about you all the time seems like on a daily basis, all the memory's are a delight to recall, it's painful your not still here to enjoy those memory's with us.

Hello jenn, just wanted to say how much i miss you. i found the photo album you put together when you, doniven, nana and i flew to new york for the first time together. we had a great trip visiting with linda and scott. then going to clayton to see bob and margarret. my favorite places in the world, mountains and the river. i have been thinking alot about you lately and how much i miss you seeing your smile, your goofy moves and the little things that made me laugh so hard i'd cry. everytime i think of you and nana i think about that conversation on her porch... you know and how you could embarris someone with one word or two. you are very special to me, as are your brother and sister who also miss you so much. Kasey and Riley like hearing the stories about you and nana, they know your photos. joey and doniven remember you, and how short you were, jowy is almost there, don past you years ago. his football is 3 - 0, he trys and plays some, maybe he will get better and play more on varsity next year. at least he is sticking with it and trying.
baby, keep remembering me and i you. i miss you so much it hurts. i wish i had told you more and how proud i was. i sorry that i missed your birthday that year, i tried to make it up. but i will never forget again. I love you. wait for me i will hopefully join you one day, there is alot for me to do here for now.
love you always

Happy Birthday My Darling Daughter. Another year has come and gone. But my love and memories of you is still like you are still here. I could go on and on but I won't. If you wanted something really bad, you would call me Dad, if you was mad with me it was "JOE", it still makes me smile. I just thank the Lord that I had a chance to see you grow up and I could share your tears and your smiles. One day I want to sit with you and laugh again. I will see you later. Love Dad.

Good morning my little Jennifer. It has been 5 long years since I saw your smiling face. Your personality would light up everyone around you. You made me laugh so much. Girl you was crazy. I miss that and all you were to everyone. Your son is growing like a weed. I talked to him a couple of days before his birthday. We all miss you darling. I know your mom and I have parted ways (that is life) But I still consider you as my daughter. You made such an impact on my life. You, Joey and Jessia. I love you darling today and forever and I hope to see you some day. Your presence I feel sometimes. I would have taken 5 more just like you.

hello baby,
It is hard to believe that four years has past. It seems like yesterday we celebrated Doniven's 7th birthday, and yet, he just turned 11 yesterday. He is doing well, would be your height now. keep watching him baby, he needs you to guide him. He really misses you and nana. Joey, Tina and the kids, clint and Lee and I went to ski beach and spread some more ashes. Time has flown and yet somedays I wish it would stay still just for a moment to reflect on the good memories we shared. I miss you so very much, as we all do. Love you baby girl.

Hey Baby,
I know, should have sent a message sooner. Yes, Lee and I are married. It was wonderful, here at the house in front of you and nana, with the family around and a few friends. Just small and country. Our colors were purple and blue. Lee's mom did our bouquets, they are beautiful, silk and in your vases. Jessi was the maid of honor, Joey gave me away and papa was the best man, well the holder of the rings. Poppy goes to Ma. soon to visit w and c. anyway, I thank you so much for your inspiration on this union. Lee is great, we have so much in common. well baby i miss you so much and wish you were here to meet him, you would love him too.

hello my cousin, I found this poem and it made me think of you and Nana. Its kind of comforting...
"If Tears Could Build A Stairway"
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk rigt up to heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you-
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

All these years and I never missed a birthday. I feel terrible. I remembered, I just never go online anymore, I said Happy birthday in my own way, cuz, I know u heard me. Things are crazy these days. There is never any time for anything. Zoie is growing up so fast i barely recognize her. She never shuts up! She refuses to sleep in her own bed and if I have to watch Spnge Bob or Teletubbies one more time... I'll cherish every minute of it I know.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it but I got my associates degree! I can do nothing with it but hey it looks good in an frame. I am going back for my bachelors but thats slow going. The way I figure it, I'll be done with school by the time Zoie recieves her Doctorate... Well thats all from my end I think about you and Nana daily. I love u with all my heart.

Hi Baby,
Just thought I would up date you on my life. I love my job. The new store will be opening soon, the 25th we start to set it up, it only takes 8 days to get ready to open for the public. I am seeing this guy, a great guy, Lee, is my age and you know the rest, thank you for answering my prayers, to find a wonderful man like him, Jessi helped to introduce us as well. He is so wonderful, likable and adorable, a can't tell you enough. anyway I miss you very much. Little Riley is getting so big and talks now. She can scream loud too.
Doniven spent a couple of days with papa and I, he is growing like a weed. He misses you too. He has a baby sister now, Shyanne Austin-Marie and she looks like him too. He is a proud big brother. Just wait til she is 2 and I'll tell you more. Little joey is going to be 8 next week, and will have 2 parties since the parents don't get along. Also, Joey and Tina are expecting again, sometime early spring. anyway better go now, I work early.

hi jenny,
been awhile since i last wrote. i have been very busy getting the trip together to las vegas for lisa and jeremiah's wedding. we got lots planned for the week, other than the wedding. lisa will get her bachalorette party, the highlight will be the male stripper show (the thunder from down under) since no pictures will be allowed we can only guess as to their behavier hahahaha. i know lisa wishes you there with her as we all want you back as well.
lisa got word from the flamingo wedding coordinator that 20/20 wants to interview couples getting married on 7-7-07, sounds great maybe they can become stars on t.v. if not for at least 1 day. heck maybe i could somehow get noticed hahahaha. if i can only convince them to get me on t.v.
i think i am looking forward to the vegas vacation more than them for their wedding. i have been working very hard to make this come true.
kelly has moved out now so me and melisa are alone here now. kelly has gone to her 2 weeks away in the army she won't be back until the 16th.
your mom got a great job as manager for a store and papa is becoming a poker king. i play poker too but i can't get in the big tournaments like him. maybe we will win big in vegas. sometimes dreams come true.
i will leave another photo for you and all your guests to see of zoie, she is so cute and so much fun.
thanks for looking out for her.
well after the wedding i will let you in on all the details i can, lisa will have to give you the mushy details.
see ya

Sorry I havent written in a while. Things are so crazy. The wedding is coming up and I'll have my associates degree in the summer. I cant wait. It has taken so long, but like you said it will be worth it in the end. I got my wedding dress, it is so pretty. You should be standing up there with me.
The bunny bash was fun, it was so cold, not at all like it used to be. Zoie has a cold, it started at the park... that was great. She was miserable. I was up till 3 in the morning with her throwing up. I'm loving day care... NOT! Anywho, I will be in vegas in just under 3 months to finally tie the knot. I know you'll be there with Nana watching me scared out of my wits, laughing at me, no doubt. I will make a special visit to the Little White Chapel for you and Dean, you would have made a beautiful bride. I love you my cousin, and I miss you like crazy. Keep an eye on my Zoie for me. I know you do anyway.
Hugs and kisses...

Hi baby,
It is already Easter Sunday, April 8th, 2007. We had the bunny bash at Fred Howard Park again, although it was cold and windy. Doniven and lil Joey played baseball with alot of kids. Not many people this year though, Riley went on her first egg hunt and had fun. Donna and Danielle were there too. We meet my friend Lisa and her family there, they get a shelter every year. Tish is haveing her first baby soon, and Steve has a son. They all look wonderful. A long day. Anyway, I got a job, store manager for Dollar G. It is great, I like it. Baby, I thought of the days when all you kids would get together to hide those eggs, and I could picture you there with Lisa and kelly and Joey and Jessi, I really miss you baby. Doniven does too. Your poem was published by American Poetry, I have not heard back though, I would like to copy it and frame it for you.
I love you very much. and miss you so much more.

Little Joey is 7 now and growing. Doniven is doing great, he is almost as tall as I am. He misses you. We spread more ashes on the Dunedin Causeway, beach area, no red tide this time.

Hey Jen:
Its been a while. Like my dad said everyone gets so caught up. Zoie is getting so big. I wish so badly that you could have met her. We are starting potty training soon. She pulls off her diaper when she goes in it so it is definitely time for the potty. She says mama all the time now and dada and cool. Its so funny. The bunny bash seemed like a hit. So many memories but im glad for the opportunity to make new ones. I just wish you and nana were there make them with us. You have a new neice but Im sure you look in on her all the time like you do zoie. Kelly is doing really well. She is really happy with her new boyfriend. he is really cool and he treats her great. I GOT A HOUSE! we are so excited, its right down the street fcrom my parents, its in our price range and it has a big fenced in backyard for all of zoies toys. You would love it. Jessy and I had a long talk the night before the bunny bash, she stayed the night and just like old times we stayed up until 4:00 in the mornign talking. Mostly about you. She misses you so much, we all do. Its been hard on everyone. Its almost been 2 years and it seems like just yesterday I was calling to tell you I was having a girl, which of course you already knew. I was thinking about my 21st birthday the other day and even though it was a rough time you and jess made sure I had the time of my life. Thank you for that and every other thing you did for me that made my life so full.
I'll think about you always.

HI JENNY,
THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO READ THIS GET CAUGHT UP A BIT. ZOIE JENNIFER IS GETTING BIG AND SHE IS SO CUTE. LISA IS BACK IN COLLEGE AND PLANS TO MARRY JEREMIAH NEXT JULY ON 7/07/07 WHAT A DATE, WE ALL PLAN TO GO TO VEGAS FOR THE WEDDING, I WOULD LOVE IT IF ALOT OF FAMILY CAN ATTEND BUT I ALSO KNOW THE COST IS HIGH. KELLY HAS GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND IS GOING OFF ON JULY 11TH TO VERGINIA FOR HER MILITARY TRAINING. SHE COMES HOME IN OCTOBER. ALSO KELLY HAS A NEW BOYFRIEND, LUKE, HE IS FROM ENGLAND. IT'S HARD FOR THEM BECOUSE HE CAN ONLY STAY HERE FOR 3 MONTHS AND THEN MUST RETURN TO ENGLAND. HE HAS GONE AND COME BACK 2 TIMES NOW AND PLANS TO CONTINUE. HOPEFULLY THE DISTANCE AND KELLY'S MILITARY WON'T BE TO MUCH OF A BURDEN, HE SEEMS LIKE A GOOD KID. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO YOUR MOM IN WHILE BUT PAPA JUST WENT UP TO VISIT HER FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE SENDING OFF TO MASSACHUSETTS FOR THE SUMMER WITH WARREN.
WELL THATS THE QUIK UPDATE.
YOUR ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS
WE LOVE YOU

hi jenny,
i see your mom just wrote you, so while i'm here i will try to update you of our lives here in florida, zoie is getting bigger and she is so cute. we are or i should say lisa and kelly have brought bunny bash back. it's been 2 years sinse the last but it seems like forever. many new faces many young faces but also many great memories that will not return but will never be forgotten. please you, nana, dean,uncle dick, aunt evelyn, shirly, charles, tom d. and all others that have left us please attend.
kelly will graduate this may, and then go to military training and as far as i know will or maybe will be going to germany or iraq. i pray she goes to college.
life for us rushes by most times, i wish we can slow it down for awhile and keep it that way. we all miss you jen and everyone else also. sometimes i wonder what is is like where you are, i suppose just like your mom. we are told to have the faith to believe and for the most part i do, but........... well someday we will all know the secrets to life as you do, untill then please keep looking in on zoie and the rest of the family.

Hello baby,
There is so much to say these days. I miss you more than anything. News update. Joe and I are seperated and I want a divorce.
Life is not easy as you would say. To find the one true love or the things that would make all the worth while being, is it really hard jenny or do we really just keep looking for answers to questions that are not there. I have had 3 wonderful children, that I love so much, wonderful grandchildren that are the world to me, and one on the way too. I have a family that is close and loved. I have a good job now, although that can be good and bad at times.
I remember you always saying that you wanted to find the meaning of life and the why's and what if's, I don't think we ever really do find them, it is how we handle every day without the answers, is that what makes us better, stronger or just human?? I read your poems, as you would have read them to me, to understand what you thought or were looking for, someday I hope you send me the answers or just something to look further for. I miss you a great deal. I have alot of thinking time on my hands and just wonder, are you in a better place now, no worries, no bad health issues and with the one true love you were meant to be with? The stars shine so brightly these days, and I look for them nightly, just for peace of mind of knowing that you and nana and dean and all the family are watching down on us all, wishing to hold you one more time, hear your laugh, and watch you strut. I miss you baby. All will be fine here, just keep me searching for the right answers baby.
love you always,
mom

Hey Baby,
Missed telling you Happy New Year. But it just didn't seem right. I went to bed at 10 and it just felt like another day gone bye. I work alot now and at least have that to look forward to.
The family went a whole year without loosing a member. Just a friend, Mario, in Sept. There must be alot of room in Heaven, because I have known so many people to pass through the last couple of years. I miss you and nana and Dean alot. It is very hard to express how I feel sometimes. I search the thoughts and memories and find you both in all of them. Watch over Rocky, I worry so much about him. He has been with us this past week and flies back home today to Fl. I miss the little rascal, He has grown so much. He is very smart, like you and loves to read, cartoons are a favorite of course, he even went hunting with grampa finally but all they shot was a bottle, no deer or other animals around. He wishes to be here but also with his dad, so we will share the responsibility for now.
Love you baby,

Hey Jen:
Christmas was good this year, we all got ridiculously spoiled. Zoie, of course, was the worst. She didn't know what to make of everything. The tree holds a special fascination for her. Her presents were mostly pushed aside in favor of the boxes or wrappings they came in. All in all she was happy with everything, but of course she is always happy. I thank you for this. I also have very good news, Jeremiah surprised me with the best present, a beautiful diamond ring, that goes ona very special finger. Yep, thats right we are officially engaged, he proposed at his parents house on Christmas Eve. I am so happy, I can't even begin to tell you how much. He thinks the diamond is too small but its perfect. Its what I always pictured my engagment ring to look like. We are planning on a May or June wedding but nothing is totally set yet.
I wish you were here to be in it, but unfortunatley God had different plans. I miss you so much especially now. Christmas isnt the same without everyone you love there. Thank you for watching over Zoie. I love you whole bunches...

MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY,
It has been a rough season again, the job promotion. Oh yah, forgot to tell you, they promoted me to a lp manager last month, more money is always good. I talk to Rocky and he is great, santa was good to him, since it was his first Xmas with his dad and Crystal, he was excited. He flies up to me on Friday for a week long visit and he and grampa get to go hunting together. Joe gave me 1ct diamond, I waited along time to get the one replaced and he finally did it this year, on Christmas eve. It's beautiful, you would approve. He did good by me this year and spoiled me. Mercedes was spoiled too, she was very happy with her gifts.
I have had some moments lately where I can not get you off my mind, thinking and wishing you were here with us, I miss you so very much, I see frogs when I shop and want to buy them all for you, and of course angels to remind me of you and nana, your stars are right above the house again this time of year. Thank you for watching over your son, and Zoei, and all of us.
We love and miss you very much,
Mom and dad, Rocky and Mercedes, Joey, Jessi, lil joey, Papa and all the family
