November 6th 2001 I got the phone call that changed my life forever. We spent a lot of time together yesterday at the cemetery, I decorated, it was a beautiful fall day. This year you have shown your presence to me so very often, I call them angelic moments, I love them more than you even know. Well ha that's funny as you know my every step and every thought and every move. Kimberly got married this year and we are thankful that she finally found the perfect person for her. We like him a lot, they are good together. Madelyn Jae is so funny, smart, beautiful and loving - Please watch over her. Mia Cameron is just happy and smiley all the time - Please watch over her. Grandma Charlotte oh Grandma Charlotte, she is just frustrated that she is still here on this earth, she wants to be in Heaven with all of the other Angels so very badly. I keep telling her it's not her choice. She is falling more often now - Please watch over her. Seth and Kayla are doing well - Please watch over them. Your dad had surgery on his foot as a last result to relieve the pain that he has all the time. He fell on Saturday and we are praying that nothing was hurt in the fall. He still has an emotional time when someone brings up the accident or you, but he makes it through - Please watch over him. And me - I'm doing okay - just watch over me and keep me grounded and guide me to the best of your ability - I am a Taurus and pretty hard headed just help me when you really see that I am starting to fail and get me back on the right track. Sweet little Ashley Niemann is getting married on 11/11/22 - Your dad and I will be going to the wedding. I look forward to help celebrate a NEW beginning on 11/11/22 - something other than your NEW journey that you started on 11/11/2001. Lucky YOU! What a place to be HEAVEN! This world is a cruel and ugly place, the people, crime, drugs, fighting, shootings, politics, I'm sometimes relieved that you do not have to worry about any of these things. You are in a beautiful place and I have to say that I am jealous. No worries about anything - Until we meet again....I love you and miss you with all my heart and soul - Love Mom

Driving into work yesterday I was thinking about the past 19 years and what our family would be like today if you were still here. Would we still be in Mustang? Would career path you would have taken? Who you would have married? How many children you would have? How your family and Seth's family would be ever so close? All the things................ then the thought of you gripping my hand ever so strong and tight, the pain you were going thru, the pain that entered my heart and soul. I watched them load you into the airvac and fly away and prayed and prayed and prayed God don't take my baby, but God had other plans. I then went to the ambulance where Daniel was already loaded. I told him that everything would be okay, and of course only by the hand of God, it was. I told Daniel I was going to his house to tell his mother what had happened. I got to Vickis and told her, assured her that you would be okay and how very sorry I was, and of course only by the grace of God, it was. As the years and the days go by my heart slowly heals a little more and a little more, however it will always be broken........hummm well what do you do, hello hoppy so glad you are back!!!
2020 - The year of much craziness, pandemic covid-19, corona virus, closed schools, closed businesses, government sent stimulus checks to all americans, the year of the mask, more hurricanes than ever before, colorado, california, oregon fires are just horrible, ice storm takes oklahoma. we were out of power for 10 days, but your peace rose never fails me - your sweet precious niece's(Madelyn Jae, how sweet of your brother and Kayla to honor you by naming her after you) birthday party was on a Sunday and the sweetest bud appeared. Monday afternoon here came the storm, I was going to pick it and take it to the party and forgot. Monday, got home early because we lost power at work, there was the beautiful bud all encased in ice. I picked it and brought it in and days later it bloomed and the fragrance was amazing. I haven't gone around to all of the trees that we have planted for your birthdays to make sure that they all survived, but from just eyes view they have. The LIVE Oak, Peace Rose Bush, Star Magnolia, Mighty Magnolia, Little Gem Magnolia, White Bud, Falling Red Bud. This place, our land, this house holds so many good and precious memories. I love you with all my heart and soul and I miss you deeply. Until we meet again.........peace - Love Mom.

Dear Sweet Jaeman ~
Where has the time gone? We all miss you so much. I've thought about you often this month and wish there were ways to make it easier on your mom and dad. Got to see your mom and grandma Charlotte in July and it was so good to see them both. I know you are keeping watch over all of us and we will continue to keep you alive in our thoughts and prayers. Love you and miss you so - Kathy, Justin and Kelsey

Maybe a balloon will make it all the way up to heaven this year......I'm guessing that you have already shown Gma Billie all around.

Happy 24th Birthday Jaeman. You and Jus are not little boys anymore. He will be 25 in July. That means me and your mom are getting old.
I think about you often and remember all the fun times we had. Knowing you are watching over all of us gives me comfort and that someday we will all be together again and pick up again right where we left off.
We love you and miss you so very much.
Happy Birthday!
Love, Kathy, Vincent, Justin, Sarah, Kelsey and Chasity

A birthday candle just for you! I just can't imagine that you are going to be 24!!!!!! That means that i'm really getting old!!!!!! There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you and what you would be doing. You know that we have a new baby in the family and he has the very same initials as you J.T.M - Jaxon Tyler Miller! He is just precious. Precious and as innocent as you are! I love you my dear sweet angel!
Happy Birthday.

Its been a while since I've seen you. I think about you almost everyday. I can't believe its been 8 years, almost 9. Your almost 24, Happy Birthday. I remember the days when I would run down the soccer field with you while you refereed. I had a huge crush on you. During the school year when I see Seth, I think of you. Y'all 2 look identical. Dustin ran into him one day and could have sworn it was you. We still think about you day to day. I wonder what it life would be like today if you were still here. I visit you on your birthday and the day you passed awayl. I wish I would have gone to the hospital and seen you before you left, and I wish I could have gone to your funeral. We can't go back in time and thats okay because you're in a better place now. I hope to see you one day. I'm looking forward to see you and I hope I can keep up in soccer. Happy birthday and I love you.
November 27, 2009
I'm so excited! We released balloons again this year and someone from Elmore City found a balloon and emailed us back. It has been an incredible year and all the little angel whispers that you have blown my way. Please don't stop, it reminds me that you are with me always. I love you and miss you each day. love mom

Happy 23rd birthday Jaeman. I thought of you on the 22nd, but you know me, always a day behind. Hope you had a huge heavenly birthday party and you often reach down and give your mom, dad and Seth extra hugs to help them along.
Here it is summer time again, and time to be going to the lake. Everytime we go to Stockton, I remember the fun times we had when you and Justin were just little guys playing in the water and whatever else you two could get in to.
Miss you and will love you always.
Love, Kathy, Justin and Kelsey

Good morning Son,
I can't believe that 2 1/2 years has gone by without me hearing your voice or feeling your touch.
I'm so ready to hear those words every 18 year old says. "I'm 18 now, I can do whatever I want!!!" I'll just have to wait til your little brother reaches that age, and I can tell you right now, he will definately say those words. I can only imagine what you would be like if you were still here, but I just don't see you saying those words to us, you weren't like that. I miss you everyday and as you are watching me just try really hard to help me make it through this dreadful month of May. Happy 18th birthday son. I love you and miss you a whole whole bunch!!!!!
Love
mom

Even though we live an entire country away, we have come to know of a young man named Jaeman because of the affect he has had in the lives of our dear friends.
Even for those of us who never met him, he cannot be forgotten. Jaeman will always be remembered and his life will always have an impact on those he knew as well as those he never got the chance to know.
We know that every day is difficult when dealing with a loss so great. Today is no different. So we send healing thoughts from Canada.

Today is bright and sunny - just like last Novemeber 6th - It was a beautiful day and who could have known the events that would transpire before the sun went down.
I wish I could tell you face to face everything that you mean to our family. It seems like only yesterday that we were standing around laughing and joking and enjoying your sense of humor and your beautiful smile.
Well this morning as I was getting stuff out to make Zach's lunch - the bread got smashed - I smiled and laughed and knew you were there with us.
God Bless You Our Angel
Until We Meet Again!
I Love You - Aunt Cyndy
