Hey Jason just thinking of you and missing your laughs and talks.
You would be proud of the way Hannah is turning into a young lady that is still spoiled rotten by everyone.
I wish you were still around to watch her grow up.
Just keep looking out for her , mom and everybody else here on earth.
Love ya wayne

The Holidays are approaching again and even though we think of loved ones that have gone to rest all yr long the Holidays seems to more difficult, I set and think of all the laughs and great memories we got to share but cant seem to lose this ache in my heart to know we wont see u in the flesh when we gather; I know ur at peace and dont have to face these crazy emotions life brings us anymore; Kinda makes me look forward to that eternity of peace; in till then continue to look down every once in awhile & remind us ur in a much better place, we all still miss u and when I look at Hannah I can see u in her more and more as she matures in a beautiful young lady; u u were always so proud of her and u still are im sure: I hear she shows that "Thompson Attitude" every once in awhile and cant help but to think when she does ur getting a kick out of it!! LOL But all in all she is a very bright intelligent beautiful young lady!!! We love u Jason & miss u as much if not more!!!! See ya when them trumpets sound if not before!!!! P.S Give my Momma a Big Hello & Hug for me, till next time lil Brother xoxoxoxox

Well Jason here it is another year has passed since you left us. So much has changed and so much hasn't. When the family gets together you are always there. When your mom or dad need a little extra strength you are there. When something really funny happens that I know you would have loved you are there. When Hannah gets talking and you know she is a dreaming teenager, you are there. When Winter is needing extra attention I know you are there. We all know you will be around us until it is our time to meet again and yes I know you will be there. With that smile and laugh you have. Always thinking about you and missing you Love Wayne & family

He wishes you could be here to see Hannah and see how she is growing up. She has you in her, she can look at you and swear it is Jason Matthew looking back at you, (especially when she is mad). Hannah is growing into a beautiful young lady you would be so proud of her. We tell her stories about you every chance we get.

Hello Jason,
I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you & your family. I feel so sorry for your mom. I know she must be so empty without you. I can't imagine losing a child. The pain would be unbearable. So, please know that I am still praying for her, your dad & your family. Awaiting the day to meet you. Have a wonderful spring in heaven.

Thinking Of You, Brenda Stillwell (Samuels)

January 21, 2009

Good morning Jason,
I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you & your family. I was browsing through 'myspace' & found a couple of your family members that had a myspace profile. I was looking at the pictures & they are an amazing family. You can see the love that flows from all of them. I didn't recongnize Joe. It's hard to picture him as an adult because the last time I saw him, he was just a little boy. Your mom & dad look great, but I know they miss you terribly. They all seem to have a wonderful family & that is truly a blessing. I too, was blessed with a great family. I have 6 children & 21 grandchildren now. My 22nd grandchild is due in March. The Lord has blessed all of us & I thank God for that. I know honey that all your family misses you so much, everyday, but know that they will someday meet you in heaven, like all of us. I will go for now. Know that I think of you & your family often & I will continue to pray for them.

Kimberly Thompson

November 19, 2008

Jason,

You bid no one a fond farewell or never said good bye, You were gone before we knew it and only GOD know's why.

A million times we've needed you a million times we have cried if love alone could of saved you then you would have never died.

In life we loved you dearly in death we love you still for in our hearts you hold a place that no one will ever fill so always remember you will never be alone for part of us went with you the day GOD took you HOME!

Friends and Family Remember This it has been 4 years for us but to Jason it's just a night, he's asleep in the arm's of Jesus waiting for that Triumpt sound, My prayer is that everyone reading this has made those plans to spend eturnity in Heaven with God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Maw hold on to the faith one day soon God will wipe away all tears. I love you all!

November 14, 2008

hi dad here is a poem i wrote just for you


Dads

they are just as small as a mouse
or as big as a the sky
even though is been 4 years
i know your still here
when i look at a picture
and see your smile
it makes me want to cry
even though will meet someday
that day could be a long way away
so until hat day will come

i'll miss you just know
i am thinking about you

mom thompson

November 14, 2008

hi baby I know you dont like for me to call you baby but you are my baby and I love you more every and miss you more then you know it been 4 long years now and I still miss your kissing on the head love you so mush

Thinking Of You Often, Brenda Stillwell

September 12, 2008

Good morning, Jason,
Today, it's raining & I thought of you. "Tears From Heaven". I know how your family is feeling with their loss & I just wanted to let you know that I am still praying for them. Also, I want you to know that I am thinking of you & I await the day I will meet you in heaven. I went to the doctor yesterday, so that time may not be that far away, as I am preparing to fight another battle with throat cancer. My twin sister, Linda passed away last Sept. from the same thing. So, be sure you're at the gate when I arrive. I can hardly wait to meet you. I will go for now, but please know that you are loved & missed my many.

Rebekah Thompson

August 31, 2008

Jason, I never knew how much you were there when I was younger. Miss You.

Praying For You Always, Brenda Stillwell

August 30, 2008

To My Family

I'm safely home in heaven
I know you miss me so
The love I have for all of you
Within my heart still flows

Know I'll always be there
In everything you do
You'll never be alone, you see
I'll be watching over you

God had a special plan
As He does for everyone
The plan He had for me
Was be a father, brother and son

I know He called me home suddenly
I didn't get to say, "Goodbye"
I was there the day they told you
I so sorry I made you cry

I didn't mean to hurt you
Or cause you any pain
But my spirit is always with you
In every drop of rain

When you go outside in the morning
And the grass is wet with dew
Remember, I am also there
I'll be walking next to you

I'm in the rays of sunshine
I'm in the night sky too
All you see that's beautiful
Reflects my love for all of you


My Eternal Love,
Jason

You will never be forgotten, Brenda Stillwell

August 18, 2008

Hi Jason,
I know it's been a while since I've written, but my nephew passed away July 24th in a car accident, so I've been a little out of sorts. I've also moved & that is definately a challenge. My boyfriend & I are trying to combine 2 houses into 1 home, which is really hard. I was hoping to move back to Sheeptown, but unfortunately I couldn't. I do however make quite a few trips there. My daughter Jennifer lives down the road from your mom.So, on my way to a birthday party, I passed by your mom's & boy, did the memories return. As young girls, Betty, Tena & I would go to the front yard & practice cheerleading & just acting silly. I talked to Tena a few months ago on Classmates & she filled me in on her life. It's strange how things happen. Though, I've never met you, yet, I still feel that I know you. Perhaps, because I knew all of your family. But, anyway, I wanted to let you know that you are on my mind & that you are loved & missed by many. We will meet in heaven someday, I promise. If you see my nephew, Chris, please tell him hello for me.

BRENDA STILLWELL

July 1, 2008

HELLO JASON, WELL, IT'S JULY & THE 4th IS THIS FRIDAY. THE HOLIDAYS ARE ALWAYS THE WORSE FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS LOST LOVED ONES. AS YOUR FAMILY GATHER FOR COOKOUTS & FIREWORKS, I KNOW THEY WILL BE THINKING OF YOU. HAVE A WONDERFUL 4th OF JULY IN HEAVEN & KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED & MISSED.

Brenda Stillwell

May 23, 2008

Good morning Jason,
I wanted to let you know that Memorial Day is coming up soon. I plan to visit you & tell you that you are remembered each & everyday. As a mother myself, I know that your mom & family think of you all the time. Please watch over them Jason & continue to give them the strength to keep going. Let them know that you are with them always. "The chain is broken on earth, but it will link together once again in Heaven." Rest in peace Dear one.

BRENDA STILLWELL

May 11, 2008

HELLO JASON, TODAY IS MOTHER'S DAY & I KNOW THAT BERNETTY IS THINKING OF YOU. PLEASE BE WITH HER & EASE HER PAIN. I KNOW THAT EVERYONE MISSES YOU SO MUCH, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALL BE TOGETHER SOMEDAY IN GOD'S HOUSE. REST IN PEACE DEAR ONE.

November 13, 2007

Though I've never signed this, I want you to know that I think about you everyday and wonder why this ever happened. It doesn't make sense to me and I guess never will. Three years ago today, my life changed forever. I miss you terribly and I know that you know that.

SAMUELS / STILLWELL FAMILY

September 9, 2007

I only recently found out about Jason's death. We would like send our condolence to the Thompson / Shofner family. He was truly blessed to have been loved so much by so many. May God Bless you all & our prayers are with you.

November 13, 2005

Today has been a year that the Lord came and took you home for your journey to begin. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think about you. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. We get through each and every day by knowing that you are resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort. We know that you are wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. We know you are living in the hearts of those you touched...for nothing loved is ever lost-because you are loved so much. You are deeply missed by your mom, dad, daughter, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Kimberly Thompson

November 10, 2005

Jason,

It has almost been a year since you have left this earth, "man how time flies". Your memory will never leave, You are in our hearts forever and the way thing's are going it won't be much longer till Jesus steps out on that cloud to call the rest of us home never to die again, He will wipe away all tears and we will together forever be with the Lord, I love you & Miss you! Joe sends his love! Always remember John 5,24. Mom & Dad, You both mean so much to me, I know this hurt's but we have to remember Jason isn't dead anymore he is resting with our Savior just for a little while. I love you both so much and I am so blessed to be part of this family, I will always love you all, I pray we all will be reunited together on that glorious day! Read 1st Thessalonians 14-18 With all my LOVE!

Jason,

I am not saying good-bye, I am saying see you in the morning. You be sure and save us all a place up there with you because one day we will be there too, and then you can say it was so peaceful up here, why did you let them all up here with me (you know how crowded and noisy that it gets when the whole family gets together). We will never forget you and you will always be our little brother in life and in Christ. Behave yourself up there and give Jesus a great big hug and tell him I said thank-you for dying on that cross for me and I am waiting patiently down here to one day be able to tell him myself. Love ya and will miss you a great big bunch. Till we meet again and we will (I promise).

You behave up there and keep an eye on us. Love ya.
