Words cannot explain how I felt when I heard the news. But being at the funeral and seeing you one last time just let me know you are in a better place. Just know that the whole crew has nothing but love for you and you will be sorely missed. Until they find this book and log their own messages, this is for Chuck, Warren, Adriel, Zemirah, Mike, Lil Jon, myself and my family. Keep watching over us and we wont let your life being taken be in vain. God knew what he was doing and we all know you are better off where you are now, right next to GOD in heaven. We all love you and you will be missed.

St. Jocelyn,

I held your hand briefly at the funeral because words could not convey my deepest sympathy, yet I wanted you to feel the love that resignates deep within. Know that you are being lifted in prayer that as the days go by the sting of your loss will be transformed by the love of your son's life.

God knows your pain and though it may seem lonely sometime, we are all with you in spirit and love.

After moving here 3 years ago, Jason and I became very close. We had an unspoken love for each other. Because he was good friends with my twin brother he took it upon himself to look out for me like I was his sister. No matter how annoyed he may have gotten with me he always came through for me. Jason I love you forever. He will never be forgotten by me or my son who adored him. I miss him so much. But God is still good!!! His passing has brought me closer to people in his inner circle which has made me feel even closer to Jason. Because of this I know he lives on and he still looks out for me.

Wow, I just talked to you when you cld for James on Wednesday...its jy like surreal that you are no longer here, a testament that life is not promised to us and that we should live everyday to its fullest and not take it for granted. What rings most clearly in my mind is you knew James and I were going to get married before we told anyone. Come to think of it, you are the reason James realized that he really liked me. Sheesh....no wedding now, I dont know who could take your place and be the best man.....just a quick trip to the JP. I am positive that you will be watching us and hopefully your voice will resonate in James as part of his inner voice and guide his steps through this maze we call life. Peace and blessings. See you when the time comes...xoxo

Jocelyn--
I cannot imagine the hurt of losing a child. I remember when we talked about your Jason and Nycal's Jason. How boys with that name needed close attention. You truly gave that to your Jason and I know he loved you for it.
They say the good die young and time heals all pains. This seems like rhetoric right now. But, I pray that God needed Jason and will smile on you by easing your pain for taking him from you. Your faith is strong, lean on it--it will make you stronger.
With Love...

What can I say about Kenney!?... :)
My first memory of Church is Jason. As we grew older we got too close in and outside of Church, he became one of the people in my everyday circle. Someone I could count on, someone I relied on, someone who I confided in, someone I call 'Brother & Friend' (and thats not many people).

He referred to me as his Lil' Sis (which meant sooo much to me). And although I never told him how much I appreciated and loved him I'm sure he knew. We had an unbreakable bond.

They say the "Good Die Young;" 'Jason' will always be missed and never forgotten.
A LENGEND IN MY HEART FOREVER AND EVER

Peace

Hi Kenny,

My heart goes out to you and your family on the tragic loss of your son Jason. I remember the talks we use to have at FPS in my office about raising boys and the advice you would give me. You were always so proud of Jason and his accomplishments. I know your heart is heavy and will be for sometime, but know God watches over all of us and He will carry you through this one step at a time.

Peace and Love
