Jade,
From the day you
were born
you were so special
so smart
so sensitive
so good
It was so much fun
to watch you
As you grew
you became your
own person
with your own
ideas
and your own way
of doing things
It was so exciting
to watch you
As you grew more
you became more independent
still special
still smart
still sensitive
still good
I am so proud
of everything about you
because it made you be you
and i want you to know
that i love and miss
everything about you
love always MOM

jade,
i needed to tell you thank you for the song yesterday. you know how bad i needed to feel you right then. it always brings smiles and then tears. thank you. i am trying to learn a new normal, but i am not very good at it. sometimes i think i have to for dad,meghan and hilerie and i realize they too are learning a new normal(whatever that is )and then the my pity party starts why should i have to do anything , i have already had to do so much, watch Meghan recover and then to loose you so fast, no warning, you were just gone. I watch hilerie to try and make since out of both wrecks, sometimes i think she has a clearer head than mine. My heart , mind and soul are so broken . please continue to stay close enough for me to almost smell you . i need you to help me. love mom

Jade,
I sometimes wish you still were small,/For when I think of yesterday,/I close my eyes and see you play/I often miss that little boy/Who pestered me to buy a toy/Who filled my days with pure delight/From early morn to late at night/ We watch our children change and grow/ As seasons come,then quickly go/ But our God has a perfect plan/ To shape a boy into a man./Today and always Jade, I'm proud of you/For all the thoughtful memories,/I'll love and miss you till my days are done,/ And I'm so grateful you're my son.
love mom

Jade,
A year ago yesterday, our lives changed forever. I still don't want to believe you're gone, i couldn't sleep for nothing last night, sometimes i just feel so alone at night, in silence, i have began to hate silence, because if something is not distracting my mind, i am stuck to face reality of you not being here, sometimes i think im going crazy, it was just the other day, i was off work, sad to say i hate being off, bc im not busy, well i was just laying watching tv, BORED and in my mind i thought for a split second, to call you, i broke down and cried and cried, why would i think that? i think sometimes i just push out the thought that you are gone...i feel like a coward. Because, yes you are gone, but you are somewhere all of us are meant to be, you are so happy, and peaceful, something none of us could ever imagine. I can't wait for that day to come that you come and welcome me into your new home. I miss you so much sweet brother, I miss your smile, i miss your laugh, i miss YOU. I love you so much. and please continue to stick down here by our sides. give us the strentgh to make it through these holidays coming up once again.... I love you sweet brother.
love

so its one year.... not a good day... i dont know how i should act, but im pretty sure im not doing it the right way. i think im going through deniel. i mean i think about you and i miss you every day but the idea that your dead, i dont accept that. the last time i seen you feels like just the other day but the night of your wreck seems like that was just a bad dream. oh and i had a dream about you last night. it was an okay dream. every dream i have had about you in the past year you have been dead but you was back to visit. sometimes your mean and sometimes your nice, but thats nothing new.. but in my dream you always leave before im ready for you to go. it makes me frustrated at you. lol but its my dream so i guess its not your fault.. and i know when your around me, i wished you would come around more offten or at least make it known to me that your around more offten. its hard to explain but i feel you, mainly when im by myself or in church. (which i love going to) but not too long ago me and mom was going through some of your stuff and i smelt you. lol i think mom thought i was kinda crazy cause she was trying to smell you but she couldn't. when you first started coming around it would scare the crap out of me but mom has taught me to not be affaird cuase if its just you whats there to be scared of?? nothing ya know! and i know i cry when it normally happens but i love it. well i love you and miss you like crazy!! love you with all my heart Hilerie

Hey, Jade I miss you so much but I know you my guardian angel and good thing cause I hear you're pretty good at sports and I need alot of help on that!!!!!! I have a game tommorrow so I hope you can watch me. Your Mom and Dad and Hilerie and Meghan are really upset and I worry about them but I know your with them everyday and that makes me feel a little better. My favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain Faith, Hope and Love but the greatest is love; and I have faith that you're with God,I hope you're with us all the time,and we all LOVED you very much. I love you Jade.

Hey there Cuz. Its been a year, and I still don't want to believe it. I think about you often, there are so many things that make my mind turn to you. Please be our guardian angel Jade. There are so many people here that need your strength and free spirit. I know you are up in heaven smiling down, so we will never say goodbye. I miss you 'J-B-A', I love you.

Jade,
Well Baby it's been a year since we received that dreaded phone call with the most tragic news. Jade we all miss you. I have such special memories of you and Taumi growing up together, you two were so darn cute (you may have been a little more mischievious though!). But you & Taumi have a bond that will never be broken! I miss you so much, I can't even imagine what your family is going through today. I get peace in the verse PSALMS 91:11 "For he shall give his Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways". By this I know that you are our Angel and you are with all of us each time we speak your name or recall a memory. I'm sure it's been a tough day for all and I feel so fortunate to have you as my Angel by my side each and every day.
I Love You Jade, Aunt Tami

Jade, well i got a tattoo! just for you! it hurt like crazy... well its almost been 11 months.. so close to a year. i cant believe it. im real scared for september to come along. i dont think im going to take it very good. i have been pretty stong these last couple of weeks but i think its time for another break down.. lol wierd how i can feel it coming on. alexis pierced my bellybotton. i wished you was there. i never thought i would be letting her do that but it was good didnt even hurt. she is going to be moving soon. i hate it but it will do her good. im really dreading sept. i bet the entire month is going to suck. this past year has gone by so fast. i hate it!! a year is such a long time but it feels like i seen you yesterday. i miss you more then you could imagine. most the time it doesn't seem real. it hurts every day. i would give anything for you to be here! i love you! love hilerie

Jade, I always get a notice when someone has signed your guest book, so I sat for a while reading all the entries there. You are loved by so many people.I know that you and Alexis were together for a long time and I am sorry that we did not get to know you better. Your parents and sisters are having such a hard time without you. I only wish there was something I could do or say that would ease the pain for them. I also lost a daughter, you remember, because you where there. It hurts so much to lose a child no matter what their age. It seems to be more hard on a mother than anyone else. Others may not agree with that, but I truly believe it. I just wish I could take the hurt away for your mother. I feel so sorry for her. She misses you so much and is having a hard time getting on with her life. I am so happy to see that your family is turning to God for strength. Alexis is doing pretty good with getting on with her life. She does have days that she will sat with me and cry. She too misses you so much. It's just so hard for all to realize that you are actually gone. The only saving grace is that you and your family will be together some day in heaven, where all is good, no suffering or hurting. I will keep praying for your family that they can get stronger and stronger with each passing day. Yesterday was Alexis birthday and I know that she wishes she could have spent that day with you. It's hard to believe that you have been gone for 9 months, time passes so fast.
Till later - Alexis's Mom

Jade i miss you like crazy. i want to hang out so bad. my heart is hurting in a way i cant describe. I think about the last day we spent together all the time. it was one of the best. i feel so empty now. the other two people that i share memories of you with on that day, i have lost them as well. im just so sad and dont understand. i want you to be here more then any thing. i feel no one else can satify the pain because its not you. im scared to go on and im scared to stay in one spot the only thing i really want is to go back in time. and memories are not good enough any more, not like they really ever were. i miss you so much. this is just one huge nightmare that wont stop. nothing seems real but the pain.im going to try to fall asleep and the only way im able to these day is to pray for god to hold me in his arms and rock me to sleep. the other night i could really feel him and i asked him if i could have a dream about you. and i did i was able to see you for a couple of min but you was mad at me because i had not talked to alexis and you could not find her.. i woke up crying. tonight i will pray for a happy dream. and i talked to alexis today mom got ahold of her for me and now me and alexis is going out on tuesday night. some moments i get so scared i just cant make it any more. but then mom nags. lol you know how that is...jk she can be bossy and tells me i have to stop crying and pull together. i just keep crying. i will keep praying thats the only thing getting me through and i love to go to church i can actualy say i am happy there. ok well these sleeping pills are kicking in so i will end this letter but its not good bye im about to get into bed and pray to you and god i love you jade more then you could understand and you not being here has pulled me apart mentaly and physicaly but we got to keep going it will be one more day closer on seeing you and the lord i cant wait!! LOVE ALWAYS HILERIE

Hey you, its dad. It’s been awhile since I had written to you. Son I think about you all the time. I took the day off today. Just because... We got a big surprise last Saturday. We got a call that your headstone was put in the night before. It seem like we have been waiting forever for it... Mom was worried about every day that it was not up there. But, it got put in and it is beautiful just how we ordered it. I find it so hard to see your name & the date on it... My heart break every time.. Mom had some of your clothes out the other night looking to see if you had a K.U. shirt that she could wear.. We did not find one... But mom took one of you old tee shirts to sleep in.... Mom is still so sad. We were sitting up with you on Saturday and it was a hot day and i told mom that Jade would have been fishing today & would have got a sun burn. Jade, I'm sure you were & I'm sure you did have a sun burn.. Mom seems to be doing a little better. I guess we are all still sad. Think everyday if we could just see you and say hey and to see how you are doing... We are still getting ready for Meghan’s wedding.. It’s just around the corner... I’m sure it is going to be a happy day. Just wish you were standing there beside us to see it.. I know you will be there in our hearts but sometimes that is just not good enough...Jade I am so sorry.. I know that you are in a better place... But I feel that you & all of us got cheated for the times we had and all the 1000's of memory we had left. Just don't seem fair. I have to run Meghan to work at 11:00 then I’m going to go to the Gym and after I plan to go to the cemetery for a visit. Well, son i am going to go for now.. I miss you & love you with all of my heart

Jade, I found this poem and wanted to share it.
You left this life so suddenly,with no time for goodbyes, No solace for our heartache, no answer to our "whys."Your leaving left our lives torn with a gaping empty space. With sadness, we surrender you into the Lord's embrace. Go with God and know that we will always dearly miss you, And till we see you once again... may angels hug and kiss you.
This is a prayer for someone taken too soon.
Jade you were on the phone with me and then just a few hours later the phone call with Alexis screaming that you were gone. I cant make any sense of this , we need you here. I find myself watching others about your age and I cant help but question "why you?" "why my son?" I miss you, i miss your laugh, i miss the way you would get irritated about things that really dont matter today and i suppose they never will, i miss our friendship and our love between mom and son. my heart remains broken.
all my love mom

Hey jade,
Im jst sitting here...can't sleep, nothing new ya know? I miss you so bad, my heart is crushing into bits and pieces everyday, I just want you here...the wedding is creeping up on me so fast...and i just want you here so bad, its not fair, i could go on and on...I want my older brother so bad, its always been Jade, Hilerie, and Meghan...nothings the same. I just want to scream when i know you're not here...Its all starting to sink in...you're never coming back, I just feel like you've slipped away so fast...god jade, i just want to hug you and tell you how much i miss and love you...i jst have to settle with trying not to cry, keep busy, and not think that you're really gone...The weather is starting to get nice again, and its the nice, beautiful days that i have began to hate, it makes me think, Jade would love to be fishing right now....I just want you to know that you are always in my heart and mind everyday, i love you so much, and i miss you more than words could ever describe. Until later my sweet brother...
love you,
Meghan

my dear jade,
its monday morning again, so that means i made it through another weekend without you being around. i am missing you something awful, you being at peace helps me to calm myself down. i am more sad than i know how to describe. i just keep praying that god will give me peace within. just want to tell how much you are loved and missed here on earth. at times it takes my breathe away and i feel like i cant breathe. i know that other mothers have lost a child and some how they appear to go on. as bad as i want to be strong and more like the other mothers ,i just cant seem to make it happen.i am stuck here very very sad . i promise for dad ,meghan and hilerie and for you to be proud of me, i will keep trying with help from god. love mom always and always

Jade,
It's been 3 months and it's funny how a boy I never met touches my heart. I think of your mom and dad and am praying that somehow they will be able to get past the sadness of missing you. You are the reminder that helps me to live more fully. Taking the time to write a love note, to stop and watch a sun rise, to listen to the breeze rustle through the branches of the trees. I've thought of you and the impact that you made upon this world in the short time that you walked the face of this earth. Here I am miles away; a stranger to you, and yet you have made a difference in my life. We often take for granted our time and the people around us. You remind me that this world is so much bigger than all the petty irritants that consume me at times. Each day granted to me is not to be wasted. Thank you for being that reminder to me; for linking a few of the pieces of this overwelming and confusing puzzle of life on this earth. Laura

Jade, Hey bud I just wanted to drop you a line or two. It's a week before christams and like so many early morning's I woke up to go to the bathroom to find your aunt Kerry crying,reading and writing here to you. Cristmas is not going to be the same but you are loved more than you could ever know. I talked to your sisters this week and they are doing OK but this is a wound that I belive will never heal. Kerry has talked to your Dad which I belive is the best thing for both of them. This is something that I hope they can help each other with. Gordon tells Kerry how your Mom is but God I wish I could just give her a hug. I miss you man but I hope this help's to let you know that everyone is helping each other. Love forever Uncle Luke.
Gordon, Balerie, Meg, and Hil I wanted to tell you guys merry christmas. If you ever need me (any of you) call. Love you all Luke

Hey older brother, God I miss you...Christmas is coming up...I wish i could fall asleep and wake up after the holidays, thanksgiving was really bad, i don't want to see christmas come...or the new years, i remember last year saying over and over how much of a better year it was going to be...and it got worse...I can't stand the fact that you're not here...And i have realized that saying it over and over is not going to change anything...i never imagined losing you, it was 3 months monday, what a friggin joke...i hate it...the preacher came over to mom and dad's last night, i thought it would help, but really, no one has an answer...i jst feel empty with no answers, our family is empty without you...all of our hearts ache so bad, we feel we can't take the hurt anymore...i want you to help me be strong xmas day, we have the kids, and i want it to be a good xmas with them, i know it will be hard for me, but i jst want them to be happy, even if im not...help me be strong everyday Jade, let God know i need streghth, day in and day out...I miss you Jade, and I love you will all of my heart, until later,

I just cant help being sad, i miss you everyday. I thank god for giving you to me for almost 24 years. i miss you

my sweet baby boy,
here it is thanksgiving weekend and your not here with me. i miss you so much, i miss you not being in the kitchen driving me crazy with all the cooking mess and such. its not the same and never will be i guess. dad and i, hilerie , meghan and dan went and decorated your grave for christmas i tried to make it look nice,used some of the decorations from home, i really don't know why i wanted to do that because i know your not there anyway, but guess sometimes i feel like that's all i have.
im not sleeping very good these days, when each one of you were just newborns,you ,meghan and hilerie some of my favorite memories are the middle of the night feedings and cuddling we shared. i would talk to you and just look at you, those times have always been very special to me with all three of you. i realize now it was time give to us from god to get to know and bond with each other. its ironic that he would choose sleepless nights for me again to learn how to deal with you not being here for me to hold.
son, my heart and soul aches for you and at the same time i have meghan and hilerie for me to love. i am just trying to get through each day at a time.
rest in peace my sweet boy
love mom

Jade, It is early in the morning about 3:00 and I can't sleep I was thinking about you and thought I would write a few lines. I saw pictures of the blanket that your mom, dad, and sisters had made for you it was very pretty. God jade I still can't beleive that you are gone. I want you to know that I think about you all the time all the silly things you use to do and say when you were little. Watch over your mom, dad, and sisters. Until we meet again, I love you, and miss you, Your Aunt Kerry

jade,
next week is thanksgiving,and believe me i would like to find a hole somewhere and hide until after the new year, but i cant. i dont know what we going to do for the holidays but what ever it is we will all have you with us in our hearts evey minute. i found this poem and i have been reading it several times a day, some how it helps me.
when tomorrow start without me,
and i'm not there to see,
if the sun shuld rise
and find your eyes
are filled with tears for me.
i wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
i know how much you love me
as much as i love you
and each time that you think of me
i know you'll miss me to
and in my mind i also say "love Jade"
son, i love and miss you more than i think you will every know, my heart hurts so bad, the only thing getting me from day to day is thinking of you at peace
all my love mom

Mom, Dad, Hilerie, and Meghan
I am sorry it has taken so long to write, or even really express my thoughts towards Jades new beginning. I have seen the devastation that his passing has done to your family and its hurts me to my core. Not harming devastation but the monumental pain that has hurt every person in your family.
It is very hard for me to see my new family in such pain.
I thought the most horrible thing that a parent would have to go through had already happened, obviously it wasn’t. Even as a parent myself I cannot imagine the pain your family is going through. I have tried to put myself in your shoes and I have failed.
As a family you have picked each up and have kept each other going since day one. You have created such a strong nucleus of a family that all families should drive for. It is reviving to see such a love in a family.
I’m sorry for your loss, and I wish I could change everything or least have answer for why.
I love you,
Dan

Sweet Jade - It is so hard to believe a month has gone since we had to say goodbye. Not a single day goes by that we don't think of you, and yes, we still and will always wonder why. We try and help your Mom and Dad, and sisters, but all we have is words. And words can't begin to replace the loss they feel. Jade, you are still loved so very much, by so many people....'til we see you again...All our Love......

Baby,
It's been a little over a month now and it seems like it just happened yesterday. I don't know what I'm suppose to do without you. Your family has been the most loving and supporting family i could ever be apart of. I just thank GOD everyday for sending you into my life and us having all the memories we have together. I just miss you soooo much. We did everything together and it's just not right not having you here. I just want you to know that i will always be apart of your family. I dont know what i would do without them. We went out to the cemetary today and it just looks so pretty. You have so many people that love you. It's so hard waking up every morning and not having you next to me and even harder going to bed and not having you laying there with your arms wrapped around me and kissing me goodnight and saying to eachother to dream about me and I love you. Gosh... I love you soooooo much and always will. Think of me always because i will always be thinking of you.
Love you always,
your momma

Sweet
Jade,
I miss you dearly. I miss my playmate as a child, I miss my classmate,
I miss my friend. Although we are far away from each other, you are
always in my heart. Please watch down on your family from above, and be
our guardian angel (although you as an angel seems pretty ironic, cause
you always had that devilish smile picking on your younger cousin!) I
know we will be together again one day, in pure happiness and bliss.
Until that day,
I love you and I miss you Jade!! Love always,
Your Favorite Cousin Taumi

Hope is an anchor, and love is a ship
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
Til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars
Well you better have a map
A compass and a conscience
so you don't get lost at sea
Around some lonely island, no one wants to be
>From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide to the waves and the wind
To the beaches and a world where have never been
And we'll climb upon a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried they'll be the first to sing
Woah My My
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
Cause you'll be there
Oh my my
You don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees from praying
Scarred my back from falling down
Spent so much time flying high, til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me, can you talk to God and say,
Tell him I might need a hand to see a boat someday
Cause you'll be there
Oh my my

To Balerie, Gordon and family:
Words can't explain how terrible I feel for you guys. I just want you to know that I've been thinking about all of you alot. It's been too long since we've seen eachother. I just wish I could be there for you and help soften the blow.....if that's even possible. I love all of you and I just want you to know that even though we're a long ways away, the news hit hard and I'm still feeling it. Once again, I love you guys.

To Jade,
Hey man, I know we grew apart after you moved to Florida and all, but the memories are still there. You're my 1st cousin, which means you're just an extended version of me and my brothers and sister. When I found out what happened, it hit me hard....real hard. I'll never forget all the times we played football, baseball and just did what cousins do when they're playing at their grandma's house. I love you buddy. Even though it's been awhile since we've spent time together, I miss you man. I'll never forget you and the good times we had growing up.

Alexis,
We know you are hurting so much. We do not understand why the people we love are taken from us. We just know it hurts so much. It will take a long time for you to even want to get on with your life, and we will wait. We know that you loved Jade very much and he will be missed by you. It's okay for you to cry and talk about him, because we know you have him in your heart. Maybe that's what the old saying "love hurts" actually means. We just want to take away the pain for you, but know that we can not. We are here for you, let us hold you and love you and show you that we care. You are our precious little girl and when you hurt, we hurt.
We love you

Gordon and Balerie, my heart goes out to you. I know what it is to loose a child. Our children can bring us love, laughter and heart aches, but they are ours, that God has given us to raise. We do the best we can and then God takes them back from us. We don't understand why, we just have to accept the plan that God has. I know it does not make it any easier, but we do know that is God's plan. I know your family has been thru so much hurt and sorrow, and you are in our prayers each day. I am so sad that all of you are hurting. Anytime parents loose a child, it hurts. When siblings loose each other, it hurts. I know words cannot help you to feel any better, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you each day. If there is anything we can do for any of you, please contact us.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
