Vandella,



God is good. Salvation is not what we do. ( although as we draw nearer to Christ and desire him he helps us to change until we are like him, not perfect, for he alone is perfect. Salvation is who we believe in. Jesus Christ. Jamian prayed with us last September when you both were here. I gave him my bible (remember)

God knows our heart and hears our prayers. No man can confess him unless God has given him come.

Jesus paid the price. Continue to seek the Lord's face and His answers. He cares.



Love you girl,

Gloria

To Jamian's family:

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I only knew him for a short period of time in only a small capacity, I know he will be greatly missed. It's so horrible for such a young person with so much going for him and with such a strong family to have his life cut short. May God bless and comfort all of you and may Jamian rest peacefully in the Lord's Heavenly Kingdom.

LOVE FOREVER YOUR MOM*****

Dearest Vandella,

May the Lord comfort you and carry you during this storm. Though you walk through the fire you will not be burned, though you walk through the water, you will not be drowned. Be strong and very courageous for The Lord Your God is with you everywhere you go. I weep with you. It is a great lost. May this lost cause many young people to realize they are mortal and turn to the Lord to be translated from death to eternal life. Be blessed and comforted.

Love, always.

Dear Vandella & Jermey,



I am so proud of you both. Keep looking to Jesus to give you strength. And to others that love you and are there to encourage you on those hard days. In time you will remember Jamie only with a smile. A smile for the good times that you shared. A smile for the precious memories that you made together. I keep you in my prayers. I'm only a call away, but God is there forever. It only takes a short time to connect with real people Van and you have made my heart smile from knowing you this past year. I LOVE YOU. My prayer is that Jesus will continue to touch you and give you his peace. The peace that the world didn't give and the world can not take away. God gave you Jamie for a short time, but he is God's forever. Rest in God's strength. For he knows what it is to lose a son.

Love glory

Van and P-nut,

Jamian will remain in your hearts and mind forever. For those who knew him well, there will be something to remind them of his gentle spirit. I will always remember your stories about his father and the way he had touched your heart. He is now home with the father he never knew and the Almighty father that reigns supreme. Our time on this earth is not promised and we all forget and count on immortality. Young people don't think about death and in their minds they will live forever. Just as we are born one day, we will also die oneday. Our brother is at peace. On earth you still have a son(s) that need you in this time of sorrow. Be strong and count on God as your everlasting strength and comfort. Peace of the lord be with you and comfort you. This life is not forever..........



With love and many regards to your family. Be strong my big sister.

Vandella and PNUT: For every tear there is a reason. I truly believe that the Lord needed a young, loving and kind person to help him, and HE chose Jamian. It seems difficult now, but trust in the Lord because HE has the plan under control. Always, Cynthia and Family

Dear Jay My Big Brother,



Well you and I might have argued and fought all the time but I still love and miss you soooo very much. I feel so lonely at home by myself now. I have nobody to talk to when mom is at work and I just can't believe you are not walking on this earth any more. It hurts me so much that someone would just take your life like that for no reason. I know you are still here walking me to the bus stop and watching over me. I wish I could just hug you and tell you I love you one more time. When you left that day on March 20th I never in a million years thought that I will never see you talking, laughing, and playing anymore. I remember when we were little how me and you were like bestfriends. We love the "Power Rangers" and "Ninja Turtles" and all of the other cartoons. Some times I just want to cry but I know you want me and mom to be strong and I know you are with your Father and with God. I love you Jay Jay and I will never forget you and I am thinking about a name that I will be giving my son that sounds like Jamian. Tell my grandmother I love her too. Also, Jay when I do get to Heaven I already know I am going to hug you forever. Also, I would like to thank everyone for signing Jay's guest book and for praying for us. God Bless You All.



Love,

Peanut :o)

Dear Van & Peanut,



Keep your faith in the Lord, talk to each other and continue to love and support each other. You know that you will always have someone to talk to when you are feeling down. After Maya read his obituary, she said to me that when she has children whether boy or girl, she is going to name them after Jamian. Jamian KeAnn (girl) or Jamian Keenan (boy). KeAnn is Maya's middle name.



Girlfriend, my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with both of you. Keep your faith in our Lord and I will continue to pray for you along with my friends and family.



Love you,

Fran

To Vandella:



I remember when you were pregnant with Jamian and called me and asked me for a name, and I said what about Jamian. You said yes, I like that and named him that. A couple of years ago Jamian asked me where did I come up with that name and that he liked it. I'm glad he did. I'm sorry Jamian that you left us so soon, but you are in a better place and may God continue to bless your mother, brother, and other family members and friends.



I have nothing but Luv for you Van and P-Nut.

Vandella,



I know you will miss Jamian. We all have the feeling that our children will out live us but sometimes this doesn't happen. I know you believe in the Lord and if you truly believe, you know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Remember the good times you had with Jamian and trust in the Lord to make you strong. You still have two sons - hold each other up. PRAYER will sustain you! Take care and you know how to contact me.



Love, Mary

Ms. Jackson and Jeremy,

I just wanted to let you know that my prayers and thoughts are with you. Jay and I were like brothers. He spent time at my house sometimes and we just chilled. I will miss him and his sense of humor. I know he is in a better place but still the thought of not seeing him again to laugh, joke and hangout together. If you should need anything please let me know. I just wanted to express my sympathy and condolences.

Vandella

March 28, 2003

May God give you the strength that you need right now to endure this trying time. Jameon is at peace now. His infectious smile and charming ways will not be forgotten. Though I am far from you (and you too P-Nut) you are close in my heart and prayers. Jamal, stay strong for your mother and brother(s), God will ease the pain that you all are feeling right now, as long as "J" is in your hearts, he is not far. I'm here, if ever you need me.



My love and prayers to you all!

Jamian, how I will miss you. you know that I love you and I always will.

I will miss you and you will be with me in my heart as well as our family's hearts forever. You are in a much better place. To my Jeremy (P-nut) I love you and I will see you soon.

To the family of Jamian Jackson,

I didnt get to know Jamian as well as others, but Jeremy is like a best friend to me. I know Jamian was real cool and spoke to almost everybody that came in contact with him. I feel he died at a young age, but at least he's in a better place now, and i know he's looking down on his family and friends. I will continue keep your family in my prayers. Keep your head up at all times and remember even though he's gone you can still keep the memeory of him alive.

Jamian as you look down upon us let it be know that the tears we shed are tears of joy because we know that you are in a better place and that God only took you for one reason he took you because you are to good for this hell that we call earth.

Jamian I love and miss you your little sis Talonda
