"I love you baby, you are always on my mind and in my heart. Missing you forever, forgetting you never."

"May the gentle breeze of ur spirit embrace those who miss you filling their hearts w/love & peaceful thoughts of you
"

""To have, to love, and then to part
is the greatest sorrow of one's heart."

You are with me still in my heart and my memories. I pray every day that you've found peace."

"Precious James, Sending lots of love to you sweet angel & sending lots of wishes to your mother to have a Happy Mother's Day. Hugs to you both."

"Here I place your Angel wings, for I know that you have them and that you are soaring high above us. You are forever a part of us all, we miss you so much. Send Mama all your Angel kisses this weekend for Mothers' Day. I love you."

"Hugs Prayers and many blessing are being sent your way with much love. James you will forever be remembered. Joseph's mom"

"May the Angels wrap their Arms around You James and keep You safe in Heaven xoxo"

"Karena added "You Are My Sunshine" to your site for me. I cry every time I hear it, but it also brings back precious memories. I wonder how many mommies have sung it to their babies. It was always special for us though and still is for me. I miss you every minute of every day sweet boy. "

"You will forever remain a part of us all, we miss you beyond measure. I wish you could have known how much we'd miss you, and how painful it would be to lose you. I send all of my love to Heaven. Tyler kisses you goodnight every night, and his room is full of Eagles, I am so grateful that he was able to know you and love you as he does."

"Listen and you will hear the Whispers of Your Angel!!Words of Comfort and Love.God Bless xoxo"

"I got to talk to the little ones for a few minutes today. Hunter was so proud. He made the honor roll. You should be here to share in all the good things your kids are doing. We all miss you baby."

"James The tears in our eyes we can wipe away, the ache in our heart for you will always stay hugs Wendy&Sarah ♥♥"

"The tears in our eyes we can wipe away, the ache in our heart will always stay hugs Wendy&Sarah ♥♥"

"Today is one year since I was out in St. Petersburg looking for the unthinkable. I still wish to this day I had found you, I was so close. At the very least we would have been able to say goodbye. I miss and love you so very much. I know that you are at peace, fly high on wings of Eagles Jeffrey."

"Wishing your Family Peace, Strenght & Comfort Remembering you always Hugs Wendy & Sarah♥♥ "

"It's so very hard to understand
why our child is taken,
leaving a Mom and Dad behind
with hearts so badly aching.

There are so many things in life
that no one really understands.
But the child you hold in your heart,
God now holds in His hands.

Cared for and nurtured by the Father,
he will grow and mature in His love,
while angels guide and protect him
in his Heavenly home up above.

They will tell him he was, oh, so special
to you both, in every way ~
as they spend countless hours preparing
for your reunion One Grand Day!

They will take him to the edges of Heaven
and let him look, often, down below
to see the Mom and Dad down here
that he didn't get enough time to know.

So as you gaze up into the sky,
know he's now in a Glorious place,
and maybe he's looking back to you ~
searching for a smile upon your face.

For I'm certain that in his little heart
it grieves him to see you so sad,
for he knows he had the very best ~
The world's greatest Mom and Dad!

"The tears in our eyes we can wipe away, the ache in our heart will always stay hugs Wendy & Sarah ♥♥"

"Remembering you today yesterday & tomorrow you will never be forgotten you are missed Immensely Hug Wendy & Sarah♥♥"

"Remembering you on this day,
Comforted by so many memories."

"I wish with all my heart that I could have had more time with you. Nothing will ever erase the pain of your loss, but nothing can erase your sweet memory either. I have to force my mind away from the pain or I sometimes feel that I can't survive it. You were and are my sunshine, my baby, my sweet boy. I miss you more than you could have ever imagined. "

"Jasmine told me today about watching the 4th of July fireworks. She said she was looking at all the stars and they were following her and she thought she saw her daddy. I told her I was sure that you were there watching over her. Please continue to let them feel you near them. They're great kids."

"Butterflies are souls released in glory. Every one I see makes me think of you and how much I miss you. I want to believe that you are in a better place and that we will be reunited some day. Please visit me in my dreams sweetheart so that I can see your smile and hear your voice. I love you."

"Hey Jeff i miss u so much i just cant believe ur not here any more i miss wrestling with u and the kids i miss ur hugs and ur kisses i hope ur having fun up there in heaven with the angles and eagles i love u and i miss u!!!!!!!"

"A candle lit with lots of Love for a Special Angel in Heaven above, it's send to You with a Hug & Sealed with all our Love"

"Lighting a candle for you to let you know how much I love and miss you every day. You are with me every minute. How I wish for a second chance. You will always be my baby."

"I woke up this morning thinking of you as usual and feeling the pain of loss. I miss your teasing and that great smile. I miss your voice and your huge heart. I miss all the things that will never be shared now and I wish I could see you again. I love you baby - forever."

"Jeff, we love and miss you. I believe that you are happy in a beautiful place where, as the old hymn puts it, the soul of man never dies. "Then weep not, weep not dear ones; God wipes away all tears. 'Tis only a little while, though you many call it years." We'll see you in a little while, Jeff. Look for us."

"Sweet boy, there are so many things I wish I could say to you. I would put my arms around you and never let go. You've missed so much already with your kids and there will be many more occasions when your absence will be painful for all of us. I love you with all my heart baby."

"I'm so sorry I didn't stop by last night. Some nights, here alone, I just can't seem to cope with seeing your sweet face on a web page and knowing that photos are all I have now. No one can prepare a mother for the loss of a child. I miss you every day, every minute and with every part of my heart and soul. It's hard to talk to anyone about you because they don't understand. Your sister thinks it means I don't love her as much and your brother gets too upset himself. Shirley tries, but I think she gets annoyed with me too because of the way it affects the family. I love you baby boy, and I wish I had known the right things to do and say. Now it's too late and all I can do is wonder."

""What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us. "Helen Keller" "

"Jeff, Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to loose you no one will ever know. Sending lots of love to you Jeff and your wonderful (sis karena)"

"Christmas will soon be here for the second year without you. I miss you so much my heart aches. You should have known that losing you would be a devastating blow to all of us. You were our baby and will always be that in our hearts. Please watch over us."

"Precious Jeff,I keep in my heart the love of the past, for there it was planted forever to last.Sending you and your loved ones lots of love. God Bless"

"This was our second Christmas without you, and it wasn't any easier. I will never get used to the idea that you are gone. I keep thinking I'll wake up or someone will say it was just a joke. I got to talk to the kids for just a minute. I'm praying that that will change. Maybe you can help out with that. I miss you baby every day. I will never stop loving you. You are and always will be my baby boy."

"Precious Angel,Wishing you & your loving family a Merry Christmas."

" "In the hearts of those who loved you, You will always be." "

"Lighting this candle for your birthday. An eternal flame burns in my heart for my baby, my youngest, the little boy who was so full of love for his family. I miss you so much and I know the pain will never go away. Sending you my love today and every day Jeffrey."

"Just wanted to lite a candle for you precious angel Jeff. Please stay close to your family always and bring them some comfort. You are so loved and missed. Please give my Dad, Dan and Jeff hugs for me.
Sending love and hugs to you, Karena and family. xoxoxo"

"Every day is difficult without you baby boy. You had a way of making even the bad days better for others. Yet you were hurting and didn't let us know how bad. Or maybe we just didn't want to see it. If we could have another chance maybe we could make it better for you.I miss you, Jeff, with all my heart. Loving you always -- Mama"

"I see your sweet face in the photos I treasure and I long to hear your voice again. Your laugh was wonderful. You were such a tease and could make anyone forget that they were angry at you with just your smile. We all miss you baby. The passing days do not make the pain any less or any easier to deal with. I pray that you are at peace and happy now and that you are watching over us. I love you."

"I miss you. I won't cry because I know you're okay in heaven. We all love you and wish you were here with us. Love you, daddy."

"Wanted to tell you something that happened yesterday. I took little Dillon and Jasmine with me to pick up Hunter & Jamie at the library. Dillon, at age 4, reached for the gear shift and "helped" me shift gears. It was like having you beside me again as a child. I've told people about you learning to drive by that method and it brought me to tears because Dillon is clearly so much like you. Jamie played with his younger brothers & sister like you used to -- on the floor letting them climb all over him and loving it. You were very near all weekend -- just not near enough. I miss you baby and I love you."

"Happy Easter baby. All the kids have been together this weekend for the first time in ages. Your little ones talk about you a lot, especially little Dillon. I guess I expected him to say the least but he clearly misses his daddy very much. They're beautiful children, Jeff, and you would be proud of them. I don't know how you could leave them, but I guess the pain must have been unbearable. I miss you every minute of every day baby boy and I know it'll never end for me. I want to see you smile and hear you laugh. I even miss the teasing you gave me. I hope this Easter you're at least at rest. I love you."

"Stopping in to leave my love to you and your family...Hope you and Nick have met in Heaven.
God Bless"

"Sweet boy, I stop by often just to see your sweet face. I love that old school photo with the double image. You look so adorable. I miss you every minute of every day. Thoughts of you pop up at odd moments and most often bring tears. Memories of loved ones lost are so bittersweet. I wish so much that you would visit me in my dreams. There I could maybe hear your voice again. I hear echos of it in my mind, but it's not the same. I love you baby boy. Someday hopefully I'll see you again."

"Sweet boy, I dreamed about you last night for the first time in months. I put my hands on your precious face, but I couldn't speak. I'm thankful for the visit, brief though it was. Dreams can seem so real and for just a short time you are with me again. I'm putting this candle on your wall to commemorate the visit. Please visit my dreams often. I miss you baby, more than words can express. "

"Dear Dad,
I miss you more than i can put into words. i dream about you sometimes, and write them down as often as i can remember them. I hope your having fun in heaven. I have to remind myself thats where you are, because sometimes I'll see you over my shoulder, or on the street. But everytime i look again, your gone. Thank you for continuing to watch over all of us. it brings great comfort to me, knowing your still being the best dad you can. And, if you ask me, your the greatest of them all. Good-night daddy"

"Sweet boy, it's been too long since I was here. I'm sure you know all that's happened and you know I don't have the ability to visit like I did. Still you are always in my heart and in my thoughts. I miss you more every day. I see you in the kids and I wish so much you were still here to share in their lives. I will visit whenever I can baby. I love you."

"I'm lighting this candle for my sweet boy, lost too early and missed so very much. Lots of stuff going on here. Your sister is having a hard time. I wish you could talk to her. Maybe you could say something that I haven't or don't know how to say. She's doing well in school and I hope nothing interferes with that. Scott, too, is doing well and is alcohol free for 9 months now. We all miss you baby. "

"If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.
"

"Stopped by to light a candle. I can't seem to do enough to ease this pain. I miss you baby boy and I love you as only a mama can. There are no words to tell you how sorry I am for all I did and all I didn't do when I had the chance."

"Today is my birthday and I wonder why I'm still having them and you're gone. This time next year I will be twice the age you were when we lost you. It's so unfair. Every day is painful with the loss of my baby boy. I miss you so much sweet boy. I couldn't have you with me today, but maybe you'll visit my dreams tonight - please."

"We laid your Grandma Bessie to rest on Tuesday. She had suffered with Alzheimers for some time and her passing, at least, was peaceful. Now you are with Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Ronnie. I miss you all so much and look forward to the day I can see you again. I love you baby boy with all my heart."

"Another year without you begins tomorrow. I hope you, Ronnie and Mother are with Daddy again and happy. We all miss you baby boy. Your children speak of you and how much they miss you. Sending lots of love from all of us.l"

"Dear Jeff: Today is your birthday and I want to hug you or sing a silly song or anything that would mean that you are still here. I want you to pick me up or laugh at my haicut or do any of the little things you did to aggravate. It has been 3 1/2 years, but I don't think my heart has accepted it yet. I miss you more than words can describe. Sending my love to you today and forever."

"Yesterday I took Jasmine a b-day gift and took her and the boys to Chuck E Cheese. They always talk about you, especially Jasmine. She told me she had one dream about you where you were a giant. She said you protected all of those you loved by putting them in your pockets. Such a sweet and beautiful dream. It's one of the first things that has made me feel a little better. I like imagining you as the gentle giant you were protecting all of us left behind. I love you baby boy and will miss you every minute til I see you again."

"Tomorrow is the end of another year without you. We still see you in your children and the photos we have of you, but you are missed every day and loved more than you could have ever known. On January 14th, you would have been 37. Too soon gone. I will think of you that day as I think of you every day and the tears will come. I can only pray that you are at peace. Visit sweet boy please. I look for you in my dreams."
