No Last Words
JAY
Its been 5 years that we have seen eachother. Then today 6/23/2011, I found our special friend Tiffany, I just heard of the news- now it will be more than 5 years. Life taken so soon, so easy in another person's palm. You were taken - our hearts broken.
Speechless,Breathless and angry. I miss your jokes, your big smile and the way you laugh. You are original and unique. Something no one else can have. But I promise we will meet again, i will see your pretty face again. I Love you

On his 22 birthday
Dear son,
Last week you would have turned 22. You are now, forever, 21...at the start of your adult life, ready to shoot for the stars. I cherish our memories, and morn the memories we'll have to wait another lifetime to share. To all who knew you.... I wish you peace, and gratitude for the web of support we give each other, if only in thoughts or prayers.
As I see the other children in my life grow (Claire, Seth, Anna, Thomas..) I wish to cherish them more than ever, knowing how really short our time on this earth is. They are all beautiful, individual, with strengths and challenges all their own. Thank you, Jay ., for teaching me to love and accept someone else so completely.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Hey Jay,
I miss you so much! I hope you had a great Christmas.
Tonight is New Year's Eve! I hope you have a Happy New Year!
Love,
Claire ♥
Godspeed, Jay
Jay, I am so proud of who you had become and where you were going in life. You had the rare ability to connect with people, no matter their age, station in life, or level of refinement (or lack thereof). You chose to give, love, and support people wherever they were at - sometimes to the point where you had to be reminded to take good care of yourself, too. What a rocket you were, waiting to write your streak across the sky. You left each of us a better person for having known you. Each one of us looks to you now to smile and nod our thanks, and wish you Godspeed on your new journey. Till we meet with you again, Jay...
All my love,
Chas
Sent with love ♥
As each day goes by,
we sit here and wonder why
Our hearts in pain.
Our eyes are wet
Our memories we'll never forget
We miss you more & more each day,
And in our hearts you will always stay.
