Its a new year!... And i cant get you out of my head. I miss you so much. But i do think things are getting a little better. There are so many things that remind me of you everyday. I want to see you again. Still doesnt seem real that your gone. But i know i will see you again some day. Just take care of our family please. Your were always easy to talk to. You were always telling me how good i was and to be a role model to everyone else. there isnt a day where that doesnt run through my head. I always want to be that person. Ah i miss you so much
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS,

Daddy,
I miss you more than ever. Christmas just passed and it didn't feel the same without you. I knew I was missing something, and I knew it was you. This has been the hardest year and Christmas for me and everybody else. When we went to papaw's for christmas it didnt feel the same without you. All I know is I look at our picture we took from my graduation and I talk to you everyday and say to myself "I will see someday." People tell me all the time that we will get through this but I dont think I will. You were my daddy, my all and without you here it's hard for me. You understood me, and when I had something to tell you, you'd listen without getting mad. All I know is I love you and i will see you again, and be able to give you that BIG HUG AND KISS like I used too everytime I saw you.
LOVE YOU DAD,
Your baby girl Courtney

Jason, My Angel,
It's been 6 months since you left us and I miss you as much today if not more than when you left. It will be christmas in a couple of days. I think this is the hardest christmas I ever had to go through, because you wont be here with us. I love you so much and i don't know if you ever really know how much. I didn't get to tell you goodbye. But that last month that you were with me was the happiest time of my life. I loved taking care of you and Jay. The only thing that gets me through at all is that i know i'll see you again someday. I love You baby.
Love Momma

hey jay,
It is almost christmas and you are going to missed. I remember how you loved christmas. I guess you are spending it with grandma this year tell her i said i love her. You are up there with everybody that loves you. I wish you all could come to me and talk. It would be great if i knew everything was ok up there. I am pretty sure that you are ok. I would like a little sign from somebody that there is something else after we leave this old world. I know we did not spend much time together in the past 15 years but i think you know how i much i miss you. I hope you are ok. Love ya Cathy

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, I can't believe your gone. I know we hadn't talked since like 2000 or so, but I never forgot you or the friendship that we had. We had so much fun together. I just found out about your death, and my heart is broken. My deepest sympathy to your family. Rest In peace Jason.

Dad its me again. I miss you so much. I've been thinking about you all the time. Especially since I'm in high school now, I think about how hard it's going to be when I walk across that stage as a graduate and your not going to be here to see me. Daddy it's so hard for me. It hasn't got any easier for me. You were a best friend to me. I go everyday thinking about calling you and it's hard to say dang, my dad's not here anymore. Most people don't understand what me and jay go through. it's hard and we love you. Nobody and I mean nobody will ever have that special place in our hearts that you had and still have. I just want you to watch over me and jay and make sure we are doing good. Watch over our families and keep all of us safe. I know I will see you one day. It's kind of hard to say but I can't wait til I get to see you again. I'll make sure Landan has that memory of you. Also your snakes re doing alright too. I love you with all my heart dad!!

Stacey, Jay, Courtney and Landan,
My thoughts and prayers will always be with you. To the kids I just want to say that I understand your pain, I lost my dad when I was young myself and my mom when I was older,hold on to the things you know, like how much your dad truly loved each of you. I didn't know him as well as a lot of people but one thing that was very obvious about him was how much he loved you and that he was a truly good dad. Things will get easier over time I promise and one day you will be able to think about him without crying but with a smile on your face at the memories that you have. He will always be with you all in your hearts. Stacey, I can't imagine what you feel. I know how much you loved him even when things weren't going great. You are a very strong woman and I admire how you have handled all of this. Hold on to the good Stacey, turn to God and your friends and family and you will be get through this as impossible as it seems right now. I know that Jason would be proud of you for the things you have done since he has been gone. He loved you till the end and that is all that matters now. I love you guys and you know I will always be here for you.

Landan,
I know that you are to young to fully understand what has happened. However, you do know that you have suffered a great loss. As you get older you will want answers, most of all- Why did this happen. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, but I do want you to know I believe that God has a plan for us and that everyone has a purpose, something we must do in our life. It may be big or it may be small, but it is something we were put here to do. Most of our life experiences are to shape us into the person that we are supposed to be. A person who has never known sorrow will also never know joy. I know that what has happened seems very unfair, but we must believe that there is a plan and that after it all, we will all be united together again when we pass-on. So know that you were loved; that you are loved; and will be loved; and remember to always choose the right path so that you can become the man your are meant to be and along the way, through both the good and the bad you have family that will help you whenever you need it.

Stuart, you may not remember me I am your dad's ( Bill ) half sister Shirley. You were just a little kid when we were growing up with your brothers Bill and Raymond, your sisters Florence and Anita. I too lost my son Scott age 37 four months ago I know how you feel losing a son. We know now how your Dad felt when he lost Tommy. I will pray for your family to find peace and understanding in what has happen. It's hard to understand the death of a child. I know our sons are in a better place and I know this doesn't bring much comfort to you right now. You have to believe that we will see them again. I am so sorry for you and your family.
