Love Lives On- by A. Bradley

Those we love are never really lost to us - we feel them in so many special ways- through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days... in words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that never will be gone... Those we love are never really lost to us - For everywhere their special love lives on.

It's been so long since I've written to you. I think about you a lot. One of our songs came on earlier, so I told my daughter, Ari, about you. It's crazy to think that our babies will be 18 soon. I think about your daughter a lot, especially now that she will be an adult soon and because my baby lost her daddy to cancer 6 months ago. I know both of our girls have other people to fill that dad role, but it's not the same. My dad still struggles with your death, you were the first young person that he knew that died. I still vividly remember everything from that day. I can't believe so much time has gone by. I think about your mom a lot because I can't even imagine burying one of my kids, my mommy heart hurts for her. Ari's daddy was 44 and watching his mom just break down, our kids should never go before us, I don't care how old they are. Death is hard, grief is hard. I hope your mom has found some peace and I'm sure she has loved watching your baby girl grow up. My oldest daughter, Emi, dated this boy that looked so much like you, it was such a trip. I try to focus on all the memories we made, all the good times we had, and not how you passed. I'm sending you lots of love and hugs up there. It's wrong that you are not here. You will always hold a special place in my heart!

It's sad that I missed your birthday post because I was burying my cousin yesterday. Happy birthday buddy. I can't believe it's been 8 years that you've been gone. I'm glad I have the memories because it feels like yesterday that we were all together partying it up. Miss you still Jesse. If you get a chance to meet my cousin Terrell in heaven show him around. He's a fun to be around.

Can'nt believe its 8 years now. I found a little prayer i say often: Lord of might, of love, be thou the guide in all my doings and sayings. That, my body and my mind, will fill the purpose that thou hast for me, among my household, my home, my loved ones, friends and all I meet day by day.
Keep me, ever.
I will always and fovever love, miss you.

This poem reminds me of Jesse, Happy Birthday

LIGHT A CANDLE

Light a candle,
see it glow
Watch it dance
when you feel low
Think of me,
think of light
I'll always be here,
day or night
A candle flickers
out of sight,
but in your hearts
I still burn bright
Think not of sadness
that I'm not near,
think of gladness
and joyous cheer
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my loved ones
So when you light a candle
and you see it glow,
and you watch it dance,
in your hearts you'll know
That I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue,
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you

Thinking of you and your family,

Cecilia

January 29, 2011

Well, it's been 6 years. It's kinda been a tough year, but we are all ok. Just feeling alittle mellowcallie last couple of days. I miss you as always, and as Jasmine said, I miss the expression I might catch on your face (That look), when Cami does something so cute which is quite alot. Alana,Cameron and Tyler stop by alot and Jasmine and Alana seem very close,they go running every Sat early morning.Gavin is getting so big to, bless his heart, he's had his share, but he seems to be handling it. The kids Gavin, Cami and Tyler seems a tough group and close. That little tyler is sooo smart! Well enough for now, Dad misses you to, I see it in his eyes when we talk about you.. Love mom and dad ( I actually hate this day)

Alana Hoekstra

Here we go another year without you. It does not get easy as the time goes by. Cami is getting so big! She is so caring and very helpful. She loves her little brother soo much. Well Jesse we miss you and think about you all the time. Please visit soon.

January 18, 2011

I love you as much today as I ever have. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, or what your response, or action would be to something the kids do. They are getting so terribly big, and absolutely wonderful. Jake is a great uncle, he teases the crap out of Gavin and Cameron, like he use to do us. He also does man things with Gavin, fixing bike tires, building forts, and takes him to drive go karts. I miss and love you so very, very much. I would love to have a visit sometime soon. Love your sister Jasmine

January 29, 2010

I have a picture of you in my house that's been in the same spot since I moved in. The other day, my two year old climbed up on her table to get to your picture. She started hugging it telling me "I love him" over and over. It was cute because she doesn't say that about anyone often and she had never noticed the picture before. I can't believe it's been 5 years since you left us. I still think of you often, and miss you alot.

November 7, 2009

You have come up in conversations a lot lately. Maybe you are arround us right now. I noticed Tish had a dream about you on Cami's b`day. We all miss you so much and have fun telling stories to remember you. Cami is getting so big, and very smart. She is an old soul...but you would know that more than me. She is such a good big sister. Mom (your mom) is going to start watching the kids, I think she is pretty excited.Dad loves Ty, its fun to watch him with the kids. Well, just wanted to say hello and let you know we feel you and enjoy the thoughts and memories of you.

P.S Tell G~pa .."I told you" :)

As you already know Russ and i got married last month, we are very happy. Cami is also very excited to be a big sister. I feel you watching over us all the time, please continue to do so. We always love and miss you.

Its been a long time, but there is not a day that goes by that I dont think about you! Some days as expected are eaiser than others. I just dont know what to do anymore. There are so many things that need to be done, and that I want to do. I just never know which path to take. It seems to me that lately they have all been wrong! Life is lived to learn, but man......I am so done learning the hard way!!! I know that you are with us more than not, but I need help! I know it looks like I have moved on and excepted my new life, but sometimes that is just not the case. Its just so hard to not think of the unknown. This year will be three years, you know that means you have been gone longer than we knew eachother! Its crazy I know! Ok, I am rambling yet it feels good to get off my chest. Please guide me to making these right decisions!!!!! I Love you.


Love,

Hey you, I was just sitting here thinking about you. I was looking at the visitor entries and I noticed that I have not talked to you for over 2 years. Ok so why do I have to be the initiater? You need to initiate the conversation sometimes. I look at your pic all the time. You know the ones from the 40. Good times man good times. I am so glad I got to meet your mom and the rest of your family and keep in touch with them. I cant believe you guys showed your mom the video from Alana's limo B-day. Ok stop laughing now. I dont drink anymore so Im proud of myself. Tish is having a baby with Danny so your going to be an uncle again congrats on that. I will talk to you later the news is on. Love and miss you so much. Lets work on our dance moves again someday k?

Just looking at your picture and thinking about all of our past Holidays together. Our last Thanksgiving together everyone was here, Alayne Doc, Mike ORouke and his family, along with all of our family. You guys were suppose to keep Cameron home because she was a premie and not exposed to stuff. You were so proud, you bundled her up anyway and came over and showed her off. I was so glad you did. That was the best Thanks Giving ever with everyone here.
I love you soooooooooo much.

I've been thinking of you all day today. I didn't get a chance to wish you a happy fathers day, but this year it just seemed to come and go, although there isn't a day that goes by without me thinking of you. We had a busy day Sat. with Gavins 4th brithday and a graduation party for Alana. You would be proud of both of them. Everyone came and all had a good time, it was fun. I guess we're lucky to have a nice place to enjoy and share with friends. You would have loved it. I miss you

October 5, 2006

Something very special
Which I cannot define,
Happened to me one day
When your life touched mine.
The touching of our lives,
Especially your touching me,
Made me a better person,
Never the same to be

Bright memories of that day
Now cling without my clutching,
Because our paths still cross
And our souls are touching.

Well Jesse your little girl is 2 years old now and she has touched my life as you have.
LOVE MOM

Marcia Koch

August 15, 2006

The love between a mother and her children is a bond of the strongest kind. It is a love of the present, interwoven with memories of the past

and dreams of the future.

It is strengthened by overcoming obstacles and facing fears and challenges together.

It is having pride in each other and knowing that our love can withstand anything.

It is sacrifice and tears, laughter and hugs.

It is understanding, patience, and believing in each other.

It is wanting only the best for each other and wanting to help anytime there is a need, and unexpected kindness.

It is making time to be together and knowing just what to do and say.

It is an unconditional, forever kind of love.

Missing you, Mom

Cameron is so beautiful and she reminds me so much of you. I Can't wait until she is older to tell her all about how wonderful you are. Brandon misses you so much sometimes it makes my heart hurt. Please try and help him through some of the rougher times.

I know you are watching over all of us, and i just wanted to say "We love you and miss you with all of our hearts"

So it is one year to this day that you left. I still feel you around and know that your looking after everyone. Chuck came home for a few days and wow you know!! Please look after him and let him know that there is always someone he can call and count on.



We " ALL" went to the tree this morning at 1:55am and lite candels and shared silly stories and memories. Then this morning we went and hung a plack and a picture. Plus your daughter Cami Cam planted some tulips for you. The sad thing was that someone took everything down to your picture. I guess everyone has a reason. You know we all love you more than we can say.. See you again and keep being my beautiful angel.

I missed your New Year Eve phone call this year. Half of me was glad to see the end of 2005. It was such a emotional year from Cameron's birth being so exciting, to buying your new house. Remember,when I brought over Carl Juniors and we sat on the floor in the den, we ate while you painted. Then watching you with Cameron, tickling her and talking to her, you were so proud of dressing her in her little PINK jogging suit when you droped her off, you told her how cute she was. I thought everything was perfect. Then the next door opened, and the unbelieveable happened. From the most exciting, happiest time in my life, came the most unbareable grief one could possible know. So, yes, half of me is glad to see 2005 go. But, 2006 will be the first year of my life your not in.

I love you

Sometimes I just have these thoughts that go through my mind and I wanted to share them. Tomorrow is Christmas and what have you done, your not a year older and our lifes are still undone. Some days it easy to get through the day and sometimes ones heart just breaks all day. But tomorrow is Christmas on what a happy day, except your not here to spread your good cheer. So today when I was shopping for CamCam I thought of you and how cute she will look and what you would say, then I realize you have gone away.

Jesse Jesse where have you gone, Ive gone to a place far beyond.

Jesse Jesse can you hear me now, I hear you, I see you and don't think out loud.

Jesse Jesse I wish you a Merry Christmas, I hope you can see CamCam in her new dresses.

Mery Christmas to All and to All a Good night. Enjoy the day for we are here, to waste a day seems so unfair.

Dana Spear

December 18, 2005

Dear Jesse:

We need a little help down here finding Ebony.

You know Christmas is coming, a hard time of year for family and friends, keep sending your love.

It is hard to believe you have been gone for almost a year, the pain is still so fresh. Thanks for coming by, I know why you are here. So send Ebony home and remember you are loved and missed by all.

Just thinking about you today and missing you. I know your watching over us. You have so many friends and families, that you connected with here. It makes me so proud when I hear these people speak about you and the stories they tell me. oh, Jess, you are a fine example of good young man, so many people look up to you and for you now. I feel so lucky to have had such,trustworthy,compassionate, and hard working children. Thanks for all those songs I hear on the radio and stuff, I know your still hear with us.

Hey Jesse:

The chain broke on our toilet again! That's how I know when you are around. You know where the kids are, but I guess you know you will catch a glimse of them at our house! You know we never had chain problems on the toilet til you left! That's how I figured it was you! Keep an eye out for all your good friends, a few are not doing too so well since you left. You had such an affect on your friends. I know you understand who/what I am talking about. Keep an eye out for him/them and help keep his head up! You really do have a great group of friends(kids) here and I hate to hear/see any of them unhappy. Keep sending us signals through the toilet, but like I said, the kids are not here, they are at his house! I will write again, soon.

Hello, Jesse. It took me a long time to do this. I don't know what to say. You were such a good guy. My child's friend. Everyone's child's friend. You had so many. You touched us all, even us parents. You were a good role model for my child and the other friends. You are still everywhere. Every day even I think of you still. Please keep watching over all of us and we will be looking for you. I know we will all meet again. What a day that will be!!!

Always thinking of you--just me. Another parent of a friend of yours!

Hey, Jesse just thought I'd check in. Cameron started crawling yesterday! so I had a bitter sweet moment. I know you couldn't wait for her to start walking. It seems that is just around the corner. Time is going so fast. Cameron reminds me of you so much from her skin tone, eyes and expression. ( I see alot of Alana to, although I think she resembles you a little more, you both made a beautiful baby!)

Hey there, just wanted to say Happy 4th. I wish you were here to see Cameron's face with all the fire works going on. She is the cutest little thing ever. On Sunday we took the family to Kings Beach in Tahoe. We swam all day then watch the fire works at night. Cameron is crazy, she loves the water. If she could swim right now she would just take off; and for the fire works, she loves them. Arms swinging and legs kicking. I know who the instigator will be out of the two kid's. I will have to keep a close eye on your little one. Man, I love her so much. Gavin loves her to. He does watch out for her. When she cries, he goes up to her and says it's ok Cami. They are both awsome kid's. Well thanks for being with us this 4th and I will talk to you later. I love you very much. Your sister Jasmine

HAPPY FATHERS DAY ! ! !



It seems that I miss you more today than any other. I put some flowers out at the tree lastnight and by the time mom and dad went today someone took them down, can you believe that? On fathers day. I try not to get upset, but I just dont understand how it can bother a person that much to go out of there way to take it down. Well I hope you like the new ones i am putting out :) I love and miss you soooo much!



Love,

Alana and Your Baby Girl Cameron

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!

I wish you were here for this. I saw Cameron today and she looked so cute in her little glasses. Mom thinks she looks like Elton John, but she reminds me of a little bug. She is so cute jess, and she is getting so big... I love that little girl and I will be there for her and Alana for ever. Just like you will be here for all of us forever. This is a pretty lazzy father's day today. I worked this morning and just went home. We( the family) will probably go to leatherbees tonight for Gavin's b-day. He is the best thing in this world, I love that kid. I know that the two babies will be very close. One last thing don't you forget S.W. I love you very much

Happy Fathers Day Jesse

Dad, Granpa,Alana, Cameron and I all went to Marie Calenders for lunch today and sat on the patio, it was very nice. I know you were with us, because we all would have done this together anyway. By the way Jake is doing good, he sent Alana and Cameron a very nice card.

Hey Daddy :)

Well, as you know Cameron is soooo big now, she sits on her own and loves to stand! Her first tooth broke in yesterday, and she did not even cry! Its so cute and tiny on the bottom left. The boyz are so great with her, you left us in good hands. Well we are going to Jerrads for a BBQ. I know you are helping us all , but I think he needs it the most right now. Keep coming into our dreams you still have a few more people to talk too. We love to hear the stories.So if you are reading this guest book ,and dont talk to us on the reg, and have had a dream about or talking to Jess give us a call.



I Love You Babies,
