well, 10 years & one day...gone but not forgotten! I sure wish u were here with us, but i know u wouldn't come back even if u could. i try to imagine what u must be doing from time to time. so much to see, so much to do. my days now grow closer to being with you. i figure, u'll be the one holdin' out ur hand, sayin' "come on grandma, i got somethin' to show u & somebody i want u to meet." our family is growing but there is still that empty spot in our lives. everyone still speaks so highly of you. you really made a mark while you were here. well baby, i just had to say hello again. i think of you everyday. tell the gang up there i said hey, & we'll all have a party when i come home!!! i luv u more than life itself.

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep

If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you walk out the door
I would give you a hug & kiss
and call you back for one more

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise
I would video tape each action & word
so I could play them back day after day

If I knew it would be the last time
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop & say I love you
instead of assuming you would know I do

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day
well I'm sure you'll have so many more
so I can let just this one slip away

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right

There will always be another day
to say our "I love you's"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "anything I can do's?"

But just in case I might be wrong
and today is all I get
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone
young or old alike
and today may be the last chance
you get to hold you loved one tight

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone
what turned out to be their one last wish

So hold your loved ones close today
and whisper in their ear
tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry" Please forgive me" Thank you, or it's okay"
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

I dedicate this poem to you Jason on your birthday. There are so many things I wish I had done differently, but now I can't change things. I KNOW that you KNEW how much I've loved you. I always will. Wish you were here for this special day. You're probably hangin' out with Jesus checkin' things out. I know He has something special for you both to do.
ALWAYS REMEMBERING YOU!
My heart to you

Hi sweet boy! Well, it's been five years & two days that you've been with Jesus. I can't believe it's been that long. I miss you so much. Ryan & I went out on his birthday & was remembering you. We talked about the holidays & the summers & the onery things you used to do & how much we love & miss you. Things will never ever be the same. Our family is growing but there is a void that can never be filled. My love for you grows deeper even tho I can't be with you. I know the life you're living now must be totally indescribable! Someday I'll join you & you can show me around to all the things you've discovered! We are getting ready for Christmas & missing you more than usual. You're here in my heart & always will be. Be sure to tell Jesus Happy Birthday for me. I love you Jason with a love that only God could've created. Merry Christmas Baby! xo xo xo xo See ya on the other side.

Sorry to have been so long in writing again. My comp. went down & I lost all my addresses. It did notify me when your Mom wrote in it so I got the address again. I've really been thinking about you a lot lately. Wish you were here. I've got lots of time on my hands now & we coulda hung out more. I'm so sorry for the times I let slip by & I wasn't with you. I saw you today in the skywritings. At different times of the year, i see you more often. I think the atmosphere gets perfect sometimes & you're everywhere! I saw a movie the other day about God's creation. The planets & the galaxies. You must be having a great time exploring all he has spoken into existence. I sure wish you were here so I could give you a big hug. I can only say over & over again how I miss you & how much I love you. Grandpa has to have surgery again Tues. I ask for your prescence & prayers. Put in a good word with Jesus for him ok? Always remember Jason how much you're loved. Til we meet again! I love you

Hello precious! Sorry I'm late with your Happy Birthday Wish. Sometimes my computer is very slow getting to this website. I'm bound by earthly situations. Well, this was a big one for you! The big 30. I can't believe it's been that long ago you were born. I remember the first time I saw you. What an experience. My first born grandson. It was an emotion I'll never forget. You have meant so much to me in my life. What a joy you've been. My heart runs over with the feelings you've brought to me. From the time you came, until you left, was much too short; but I have a whole lifetime still to fill with the memory of you.
We just got back from celebrating Papa's 70th. We had your prescence with us the whole time. Sky writing everywhere. It was like you made us know, you were there with us. I sure do love you baby & miss you so much it hurts. I just keep pulling out memories to enjoy you. As the years go by, I realize that it just brings me closer to my reunion with you. The skywritings are our connection with you, & I want to be the wind. We will have a big time you & me. What a combination!!!
Another birthday, another year, another memory. You're here in my heart & my love for you continues to grow. Keep the connection! ( you know, the skywritings & all) Until I see you again.
My love to you!

Another year has passed. They go so quickly & yet seem to drag by at times. As I was thinking of you last Tues. I was very sad & in despair, but I felt words come from my heart & I knew it was you telling me. "please don't cry grandma, I'm celebrating my fourth year here with Jesus & I love it" I know it must be unexplainable joy to be in His prescence. I guess I was only thinking of how I miss you. We're trying to get ready for Christmas. Our babies, Jaycen Makell & Hayleigh Marie are getting big enough now to really be fun. I sure do wish you were here to play with them & impart your qualities to them. You'd be proud. They're both beautiful, smart little girls. As you partake of all the splendors of heaven, always remember this, you are loved still yet to the maximum of what each of us can give. No one will ever take your place or be quite like you. We will all try, but fall short of the mark. Merry Christmas Jason! Kiss Jesus for me.

Hello again sweet boy! I'm really missing you & thinking of you all the time. Days go by & seasons change & your still not here. I live through my memories of you. How sweet they are. Anytime we have a get together, there is always a void. You were such a big part of our lives. Lonliness overtakes me many times. I see something that reminds me of you & I imagine you there, then I realize that can never be. I've had to find new ways to connect with you. Imagining how things are where you are now. I look forward to the day of my reunion with you. I love you so much Jason. I would gladly give my life for yours, but that isn't how it turned out. Just know that you are alive in my heart & loved with every fiber of my being. Hugs & kisses to you until I see you again. X O Grandma

A bunch of us from California just came out to visit our Oakie family and we enjoyed it very much,but we really missed you. But even though you were'nt there physically, you definitely were there spiritually.
I can see you in your mama's eyes and in your beautiful niece who will carry on your name. We all love and miss you so much, you truly are a blessing to our family and many lives have been touched by yours. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon, tell Jesus I said Hello!

Well Jason, I can't believe it's been 3 1/2 years since you've been gone but I still remember this time 4-6 years ago we'd all be planning where to go 4th of July weekend.It's crazy how time just whizzes by.I've been out in Phoenix for over 2 years now and I still think about you ever day.When I started this guest book the week after you died I wondered how long it would stay online for.Grandma Rinehart is so devoted to living on your memory!It ensures my own belief that the ones you love you hold so close in life as well as death.My thoughts are always with your family (especially your niece!she sounds like she's growing up to be just like her uncle!!)continue to watch over all of us j until we meet again.love ya always!

Hello sweetness!
I've really been thinking about you a lot lately. Looking at old pictures & going thru the memories that remain in my heart & mind. You are so special to us Jason. Only the Lord knows how much I miss you. I can feel your prescence always. So many things remind me of you. All the other grandkids are growin up too fast!
Even the great grandbabies. Jaycen is counting all the way to 13 & saying about half the alphabet. What a smart girl she is. We are so proud of her. She reminds me a lot of you when you were that age. She has a sweet, loving personality & she's real layed back. Quite a girl! Well honey the reason I wrote was to tell you once again how much I love you. My heart is full of love for you. Sometimes it spills out in the form of tears. The bible tells us that God saves our tears, maybe that's why it's been raining everyday for weeks.
Anyway, always know I carry you with me where ever I go. I look forward to the day I can hold you in my arms again!
Love & kisses to you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!
I love & miss you so much Jason. I have so many questions. The answers won't change anything, but I'd still like to know the answers. Maybe I'll get them when I join you someday. I hope you can feel the love today that everyone has for you. Even tho you're gone, our love for you goes on. Grandpa is doing a project of pictures so we have all our old ones out for him to choose from. I guess we have more of you than anyone. I know it's because you were our first. I've got em from the day you were born until the day you left us. It's a mixed feeling looking at them. They make me miss you even more, but i'm so thankful to have them. Baby Jaycen is here today. You would be so proud of her. She's your little namesake, & she does it well. She calls you Uncle & she says it all the time. She sees your picture & says "Uncle" What a smart girl she is. She will know who you are & how wonderful you are. I love you baby. I just wish you were here so I could give you a big hug & kiss. So I send it to you on angel wings. Hopefully you're having a great big party with all your other grandparents & friends that went on before you. Dance a jig & tell everyone I said hello. I love you Jason. xo Grandma

Hello sweet boy! I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I remember you kids riding big wheels, playin' football, goin' to ball games, you droppin' in just to say you loved us. This beautiful weather & all the fun you used to have. I keep waiting for time to help erase the pain but it doesn't help at all. All your buddies are havin' babies & life goes on.
We gave your Mom a surprise birthday party last month. There were about 200 people there. It was such a great party. Aunt Deena really dressed it up for her. We wanted her to know how special she is & how many people love her. The only thing missing was you. We all carry you in our hearts, but we all wanted the real thing so it was kinda hard without you. I do know that you are ever watching over us & I feel you were there in spirit.
Here is some new info about your little niece. She's walkin', talkin', & struttin' her stuff. She is absolutely beautiful. Has a great personality like her Uncle Jason. She's really smart too.
Well sweet life, I gotta go do some laundry, etc. I love, love, love you with all my heart. I send you a hug & kiss & all my love
Till then baby!

Today is Memorial Day when people are remembering & honoring those who have gone on before us. Some are at cemetaries and some are at bars, getting drunk, regreting the things they didn't say or do when their loved one was here. Me, I stand outside & look at the sky where I can see the sky writings that remind so many of us of you. The sweet memories of times gone by. God, I miss you! I cherish so many things about you & the happiness you brought into our lives. I was & still am so proud of you. I don't like this time of seperation, but I know where you are & where I'm goin' & it can't be too much longer before we are reunited & that will be for eternity. Nothing will ever be able to seperate us again.

You're little namesake is such a blessing! I think she's gonna have your personality & disposition. Your Mom & I take care of her while her Mommy & Daddy work. I tell her about you all the time. She will definitely grow up knowing you. I only wish you were here right now. You had a lot of beautiful people in your life, but she woulda topped em all! She's beautiful (like you). All the family is doing good. Your cousins are all growing up. Some thinkin' about gettin' married & such. I hope no one rushes into anything. Marriage should be forever, but sadly that isn't the way some people think. Well baby, I guess I'll go for now, just wanted you to know you're always in my thoughts & heart. Keep exploring heaven & you can show me around when I get there!

YOU ARE FOREVER LOVED!

Hello Jason. Merry late Christmas. I cant beleive how fast time goes by. One day your in school without a care in the world, and the next thing you know you are in your late 20's with a fulltime job, and a mortgage payment! But there are certain individuals who never get lost in the fold, and you are one of them. Time doesent erase people. People erase people. Death may have taken you away physically, but spiritually you are still apart of all who knew and loved you. That is a blessing for which we should all be gratefull for. I know I am. Merry Christmas Jason. Brookester

Another Christmas come & gone. Another special holiday without you. It isn't the same anymore. Sure we still love it & all of us getting together, but it's obvious something is missing. I'm sure you had a great time in heaven where all the happenings are. The lights you saw were all the galaxies, stars, planets & whatever else God has created, but we wanted you here with us. We still can't get past the fact that you aren't here. The heartache continues and the loneliness sometimes is unbearable. I don't know that it will ever be any different. I see our other grandchildren growing up and changing, but still I long for you. There is nothing that can fill that empty spot. I keep holding on to the memories that I cherish, keeping you fresh on my mind. I love you so much Jason. I only hope you knew when you were here how special you were & how much you were & still are loved. The 25 years that you were here was but a moment in time. A vapor. No life should be cut that short. But you made a difference when you were here. So many people were touched & loved by you. We keep you alive in our thoughts & conversations. You will always be here in our thoughts & actions. I send you my love this Christmas. You will always be with me. Your memory will last beyond the mortals of time. Keep me a special place right next to you there in heaven. I'll be there someday soon to hug your neck & see your beautiful smile & sweet face.

Until we meet again sweetheart!

I love you more than life!

Uncle Darrell, Sheri, Derrick,

It is so nice to see this book and to know that Jason is really tremendously loved by all who knew him. To see that in spite of the sadness you have so much love and support around you makes me feel happy.I think of you often and you are in my prayers. I didn't get to see the boys too often when they were little and was busy being a teenager. Then, I was here in Dallas with a family of my own. There was such an age difference :-(. Jason and Derrick both were always so sweet though and just the cutest little guys. Wow, Darrell you're a grandpa! Makes me think of PaPa and smile that someone will be calling you that. I still remember rides on your motorcycle, your alligator in front of PaPa & grandma's house, and just being devastated that I would not be the center of your attention aymore when Sheri came along....haha. Sorry Sheri ;-) Derrick, CONGRATULATIONS!! You have a great example in your parents and much love to give just like them. You named her perfectly. Sheri, you spoil her like grandmas should and enjoy her. It is your right! I love you guys. Brandy.

Hello sweetness!

Just wanted to tell you about your little namesake. Born Oct. 25, 2005. Weighed 8lbs. 6oz., 21 1/2" long. Lots of black hair & great big beautiful eyes. (of course that's a Rinehart trait) She's beautiful Jason. I figured you helped pick her out when God decided to send her. She has your name, even tho it's spelled different.

Jascyn Makell Lea. Pretty huh? We have had people say they never heard of a girl named Jascyn, & we say, well, now you have. She's such a good baby. Stephanie has done a fine job with her. She & Derrick will make wonderful parents. Derrick thinks she's the prettiest baby he ever saw. We agree. If only you were here, things would be perfect, but since you aren't, we expect you to be her guardian angel. We will all tell her how wonderful you are & that someday, she will meet you. I love you Jason & miss you more! Keep an eye on us will you? We will take good care of Jascyn & tell her how lucky she is to be loved by so many. You're in my thoughts always. love you, Grandma

I LOVE HER SO MUCH. LOVE YOU BRANDI

I miss you....I think about you daily. To remember you is to remember what a wonderful person you are. You always made me want to be more.

Another day of memories...I know it must seem like I keep saying the same things over & over, but that's how it is with you. I think of you over & over, I also still love you over & over. It helps to be able to write in this guest book. To remind people of how very much you were & still are loved. You touched so many peoples lives. Your life impressed so many people to know how special it is to love one another, & to also see the good in each other. your life was but a moment in time, yet you are still affecting people in the choices they make, and the way they see life. We are all here but a short time & we should make the most of who we are & what we do with our lives.

We are anxiously awaiting Derricks baby girl who will be named after you! Someone said that it's too bad you won't be here to be a part of her life, I too agree with that, but I also feel that you are there in heaven & probably picked her out~ you knew even before any of us. We also know that you are her special guardian angel & that you will watch over her & protect her just like you do us.

I miss you so much Jason. I'm sorry for the days I let slip by without seeing you or doing special things, like goin' to lunch etc. The days i coulda called but didn't. I let the little mundane things of life get in my way. I'm more aware now of how much we need to interact with family & friends. None of us are promised tomorrow, so we must make the most of today. I don't know of anyone that was loved more than you. I only hope you knew!! What a special person you were & still are. A special gift from Heaven, that was hand picked by God to be a part of & share in our lives. I love you sweet boy. I only hope that I can spend the rest of my life with the same views that you had. You never said anything bad about anyone. You always saw the good in people. I hope I can adapt to those same values.

Til we meet again. grandma

Jason, its been way too long since I've taken the time to say hello and tell you that I miss you. There is no excuse but I have been so very busy with school full time, intersession classes and summer classes, plus work at Dillards. I'm almost done! I know you must be so happy in heaven and I bet you just love that your brother Derrick has become a father! You are still in my thoughts daily and all kinds of different things remind me of your beautiful personality and smile. I have really been inspired by your life and I have seen a difference in my ways and how I love my friends and family. You will always be special to so many of us. I wish your family strength and happiness. I miss you always.

Love, Jaclyn

I hope you know you're still on my mind all the time and I know you're watching over us all. I hope your family is doing well and that you are watching over Derrick's little one extra close! See you again one day...love you!!

Good Mornin' sweetheart! I've been thinking of you a lot the last few days. we went to the lake with Deena & her family. Matt is learning to wakeboard & is doing really good. He really reminds me of you Jason. He is so good lookin' & has the same sweet personality. I'm always looking for skywritings when i'm outside. It makes me feel like you are near & watching over us. I keep thinking time will ease the pain of your absence, but it doesn't. I'll never understand why you aren't here, but i know you're in a safe place. seeing old friends & family that have passed on. The only peace i find is in knowing we'll all be together again someday. Please know you are in my thoughts constantly. I only hope you know how much you are loved & missed. You were a part of so many peoples lives that it has left a big void in you being gone. I love you baby, & miss you like crazy. The day will come when I can hold you in my arms again & hear you say to me "I love you Grandma"---until then. xo me

Hey boy! Just sitting her at work on a Sat. getting in a little OT. Not that im earning my money or anything, hahaha. Afterwards I have to go to Sarah Howard's baby shower! She is having a little boy next month. I also hear that you are going to be an uncle, how very exciting. I bet your family is completely estatic. Derrick will be a great father, and I wish him, mom to be, and little baby, much great health and happiness. I know you will watch over them like a good uncle! I talked to your pops the other day, which was really neat. It choked me up. He is still the jokester that he always was, which I truly beleive is where you got alot of your wonderful funny personality from. You Lea boys always knew how to pull a prank for laughs, and good times!!! But you are remembered for much more by many many many. Me and Jason always tell my dad about how you, him and Buc, would listen to him talk to his cat Beavis early in the mornings when you boys would stay the night with Jason back in the day. He gets a kick out of that. That cat is still his little "Beavie!" Well I better get back to work. It was great spending my break talking to you. You know I love ya, and I miss you. :)

Everyone was thinking about you on Easter...but you are really the lucky one to be in Heaven on a day like that! What an awesome day! Well we miss you Jason. You will always make me laugh. Talk to you soon :)

Hello sweet boy. I just wanted to say I love you so very much. I've really been missin' you lately. It was mine & PaPa's 50th wed. aniv. we all went to take a big family picture & out to dinner. It's not the same since you're not here in the flesh. Your prescence was always such a big factor of who we are & what we stand for. You, the first born grandson. You, so beautiful & loving. You, who always made EVERYBODY feel special. You, the very example of love itself. I miss you so much... I always look for your sky writings. They make me know you are with me. We are so excited about the new baby that's coming. We only wish you were here to be in it's life. What a great Uncle you'd make. Well baby..like I said, I just wanted to say goodnite & that I love you deeply & dearly. Until then....grandma

Hey you! I am so amazed by this guest book. So many people love and miss you so-so much ALWAYS and FOREVER. I have to say I would have been on here to tell you hello some time ago if I had known this was available! Jason I miss you so much. I look at your pictures at least once a day and still can't believe how beautiful you are. You and your family are in my daily prayers Jason. I know you are well taken care of by our father (the man upstairs, as you would say) and I we will all get to see you again in a new light. I have heard the good news that you will be an uncle to a little Lea soon! So congratulations! You are missed Jason :) And, I talk to you often...so I am sure you know I love & miss you always!!!!!
