How Mom loved her sons - but of course - they loved her too! We were never jealous - we understood why she loved them so, because we did too! Stan was her baby boy.... We all miss him.

Dearest Brother,
Here it is one day before the anniversary of your home-going. Sometimes it is okay you are with our Lord, and other times I miss you more than I think I can handle. I kept your name on Yahoo Instant Messenger, and on my cell phone. Just to remind me of the great talks we shared together and makes me wish we could have more. I know in Heaven one day we will be able to resume those talks, and the way it is looking on this Earth, it could happen any day!! I wouldn't take from you the ultimate healing our Lord gave you a year ago tomorrow. But I am a selfish person when it comes to missing you. As I still wish the healing could of happened here and you were still blessing your Mother, and sisters, with your prayers, and of sharing of God's Word with us. It was a wonderful year and a half He gave us before you went Home to be with Him, and I am thankful we had the time.
Still loving you, Big Brother.

Stan, you are a special guy and even more special now as you sit with our Lord and Master personally at His feet.
We will miss you and your stories Stan. You taught us alot as we ministered at Rosewood for those 5 years together. Those praise and prayer nights were something special. But you are praising in heaven now and even though we miss you, we know we will see you again.

You don't know me. I may have known Stan years ago. If this is the Stan I knew, please know that I am deeply sorrowed by his passing. He was a wonderful man and he loved his family. Is his Birthday Jan. 28th? If this is not the correct ''Stan'', I still extend my sympathy.

Grampa I love you so much. And it's very hard to believe that your gone. I mean it seems like just the other day that you walked into our door laughing. I didn't spend as much time as I wouldv'e liked, but i'm happy I spent some time with you in your last hours. Grampa you mean so much to me.
I feel bad for mom because she has to go on without her daddy. She really misses you Grampa. As you can already see. I know your looking down on us, but that's nothing like your presence...
It's not going to be the same without you anymore. I can't wait for the day that I see you again.
I love you and miss you soo much.
Love,Jourdon <3

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.

You kissed me when I was hurt
You picked me up when I was down
Taught me what butterfly kisses were & even rubbed noses to show me eskimo kisses
Pointed out the small & big dipper & we'd wish upoun stars
Saved me from snakes & swung me over your shoulder
Warmed up butter milk to sooth my aching tummy
sat me on the counter & looked me in the eye & told me everything would be alright
From pigtails to piggy back rides, you always did it the best
Patiently teaching me how to ride a bike, making sure I wouldn't fall - only to be shooed when the neighborhood kids came speeding by
Coming home from work & picking me up & swinging mre in the air, saying ,"Oh Kelly, kelly Kelly!" Rubbing your stubbly beard on my face to make me squeal with delight - no matter what it was you were always there for me.
Daddy, I will miss you so very much. I know you are in Heaven & I take comfort in that. I will hold dear to our memories - I love ya daddy!
