Jay,
You should have seen how many people came out the other night to your candle vigil. It was amazing. Mom did a terrific job! I can't believe it's been a year. One short year to be exact! The time is flying by and I know it won't be too long till we see your cheesy face once again.
You should see Mikey. He's getting to be so big. You should see your dog, too. He's almost as much of a pain then you were. It's like having you home all over again, though I'd gladly trade Blaze for you any day. I miss you so much. Every sunny day I picture your smiling face. Every rainy day I wonder what kind of chaos you're causing up in heaven, and every day I think about you.
I miss you, and love you so much.
Sis.

with you.

John, Amy, and Sara:
My condolences are w/you all today, as today marks one yr that God called Jay home. Just remember we all have a purpose in this world, and some have filled their purpose sooner than others. Jay is watching over you all everyday, and smiling on you ( as we all remember that smile ) One day each of you will be reunited with him. God be w/you on this day and every day.
Love
Missy

i am very sorry for your loss. I understand perfectly the loss of a brother and know it is not easy to heal the pain. I lost mine about 8 years ago and still feel as if it was yesterday. Know JJ is watching over all of you from above and that he is not truly gone. I remember that cute little face of his when he was younger. Such an adorable kid. Please accept my condolenses. May God bless you and your family.

Its taken me this long to say goodbye, because I still can't believe that you are gone. I keep waiting for you to knock on my door, for you to come tell me some silly stories. You are the son I will never have, I hope you knew how much you meant to me. I loved you like my own. Tears are filling my eyes as I try to write this. Its so final. You will always be in my heart.I will never forget the joy you brought to me. Thank you for that.
Amy, Bub and Sara I can only imagine how hard this is on you, he was a wonderful person and we were all lucky to have had him in our lives. Be strong, and let his memory fill your hearts. love you guys.

Hey Bubba,
I keep looking over at your picture sitting on the table. You know which one. The one of me and you when you were very little. I can't believe this Jay. I really can't... Every time I think about it, my heart just feels like it has barbed wire around it. You weren't suppose to leave me. Not yet.
There's so many things I didn't get to do with you. I didn't get to take you to a concert, I didn't get to play rock band with you one last time, and the thing that bothers me the most... is that you'll never be able to grace my kids with your wonderful presence.
I wish you were still here... I'd do anything to have you back.

I just wanted to let you kow today football season is starting and i am so upset who am i gonna tell their team is gonna lose. well are you ready for this one I am gonna b pulling for Tampa Bay this year and I know u are looking down on me and saying it is about time u go with a good team. I hope they go all the way. It just isn't the same watching the games without you baby. I know there are gonna be alot of things I miss doing with you. But J never will you be forgotten. They had a real nice cermony for you at the bowling alley for you it was so nice but it should of been me watching you bowl instead of me watching them throw your last ball. JGod took you for a reason which I don't know why, but maybe he needed some laughter up in heaven. J on your myspace I was one of your heros but you know what baby you will always be my hero and everyones angel
I love you J and miss you like crazy.
And you will always be my BABY
RIP JJ I LOVE YOU

I dreamt about you last night. It felt so real, only it wasn't. When I woke up I felt like I'd be able to see your smiling face again. Jay, I miss you so much. It hurts to even listen to any song that we listened to together.
I love you Bubba.

J we you miss you very very much there is not a day that goes by that we dont think about you. you were taken way too soon. And its a shame, that i won't be getting any more weird calls from in the middle of the day, with you asking me weird stuff. I'll never be able to get you back for shoving cake in my face at Mikey's birthday party. Mikey misses you uncle J. You memory will live on in our minds and hearts for the rest of our lives. We love you
Sis Sara Shoulders
September 3, 2008
I'm writing to you again baby brother. I know you're here with me every day though. I smile when I look at your pictures and cry because I know in my heart that I'll never get to see that smirk you always wore. I still cannot believe you're gone. Me and mom talk about you every day, and laugh at all the joy you brought into our lives.
I now feel sorry for every time I ever picked on you. I never really meant it and I hope to god that you knew it. I love you more than you will ever know. You were always my best friend. I could hang out with you when noone was here, and i dragged you with me when people were here. You are my shining star and my sunshine.
I've made a promise to mom to name my first son after you.. I laughed and said I'll name every kid after you. This wasn't suppose to happen this way. You were far too young.
God must have needed an angel, and he picked the best one.
I love and miss you Bubba.

Our Condolences & Prayers go out to the Shoulders family: Coach John and I met John 3yrs ago when he played football for the HEGEWISCH BULLDOGS, he was a great football player and gave Coach John his all. I remember seeing him just about a month ago and he just walked up to my husband and I, giving me a hug (being respectful as always) telling us that he was doing good and he couldn't wait to start High School. Our Hearts were broken when we got the tragic news, he was a sweet, sweet young man who did not deserve this. John and Amy we LUV U guys and if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call us or stop by.

Jay never met a stranger. sometimes it was scary but he was a very friendly person. he had a heart of gold and when ever we were sad jay had to cheer us up he hated trouble. J was very atletic even know he was a yankee fan ( where he got that from) ha ha (cubs fan here) he would always give me grief about my team. he loved bowling he couldn't wait he had 2 more years b 4 he could bowl on our adult league he would always say when i join ur team mom we will b number 1

Please know that whenever I see or speak to Torren memories of Jay will always be in my heart.I can not express how much my heart and soul aches for the sorrow that this senseless action has thrust upon your family.I pray that Jay is being held in the comforting arms of the angels and that Larry is there for Jay during his time of transition.I have no doubt that soon Larry and Jay will be enjoying their love of music together.I think that soon God will have to be wearing earplugs! Keeping you close in thoughts and prayers.

Dear Amy, John, and Sara
My prayers and sympathy go out to you all. J was an awesome kid. I can remember the time we went to the haunted golf course, and he was so much trying to tip us over on the golf cart. That kid always knew how to make you smile. Just remember the Lord has called him home, and although you all are apart J will be in everyone's hearts. May he stay there forever, and may he sit at the right hand of God w/his grandfather's watching over you all, and protecting you. I love you all, and I always loved J. He will be missed!!

Words alone cannot express the loss we feel. I cannot say anything other then I am sorry and I am here for all of you. Jay was such a handsome young man. I will always remember his smile and his sense of humor. Torren says he is so sorry. He will miss Jay forever. He says he always was and always will remain a great friend in his heart. We are left with our memories. I will always laugh at Jay pieing me in the face. Remember he loves you all. His love for his family was evident everyday.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the Shoulder family. I didn't know John to well, but remember him around the baseball park, helping his mom coach. May God bless you in this time of tragedy.

John always, no matter what, put a smile on my face... He made me laugh and just forget about anything bad happening that day or in the past, he was my buddy to run to and let my emotions out, he was someone who truly listened to me... I love him for that and him of his personality... I will never forget you John...
