JASON HIGHET OUR HEARTS WENT WITH YOU.......
I have lost a life-not my own, but it would have been easier to have lost
my own life than to have lost the life I loved more than my own,
JASON
When Jason was killed, we not only buried him but also the life that we knew and lived everyday. When he died, we also buried his future: wife, children, his wedding day and our future grandchildren. Into the corner of Jason's casket is his once happy dad: my Eddie. We buried my daughter's only sibling. We buried her future nieces and nephews. There is not enough room in Jason's casket for all the things that died along with him. Dreams, hopes, joys, lives, hearts and souls slipped into that casket
with Jason
THE LOSS OF A SON!
He is not far--no further away
than the morning is to the promise of day,
than the stars to the night, than the sun to the sky....
HE IS NOT FAR--THIS IS NOT GOODBYE.
He is not far--he is always near in the memories
that we hold most dear, in the hearts that still care,
in the love that goes on...he will never be far,
HE WILL NEVER BE GONE.
IN MEMORY OF OUR LOVING SON AND BROTHER,
JASON
YOU ARE LOVED FOREVER UNTIL THE END OF TIME
WE WILL NEVER GET OVER LOOSING YOU.
Jason & Ed were more than father & son. They were best friends. When Jason
was killed Ed not only lost his one & only son he was robbed of his best buddy
for life. And that will break my heart for Ed & for Jason forever
WE ARE HERE, YOU & ME SIDE BY SIDE FOR ALWAYS
You will always be my dad...as I sit and look down from the heavens above, I point
at you and proudly say: "look, look, over there, that's him:
"THAT'S MY DAD"
My love for you is forever Jason: today, tomorrow and everyday
until you and I are with one another. I will always love you my son.
My dad is a survivor, which is no surprise to me.
I walk with my dad each day to lift him when he's down. My dad is like a tower of
strength. He is the greatest of them all. I am his power when he's sad. I hold his hand,
pat his shoulder and tell him I am okay. Now as I watch over my saddened dad from
the heavens above...He says he's the one who's so proud of me, but I say it's my honor
dad that I am called YOUR SON.
I know your heart is broken from the pain of losing me
But one day we will finally meet in heaven
And it will be forever you and me
When this road gets lonely and the journey seems too hard & I get to
feeling sick inside that I didn't get a card-if I close my eyes I can almost
hear you say, "I love you DAD & I miss you~~Happy Father's Day".
MY SON, MY FRIEND, MY HERO
siNCE YOU LEFT US:
Ever since you left us nothing has been the same
All of our happiness has turned to tears
As our worst fear came upon us
Everyday I wonder why it had to happen to you
In everything I look at ~~ I see you
And in everything I do I can only think of you
Knowing things happen for a reason
Does not help us to understand
You had your entire life ahead of you
And suddenly without warning it all came to an end
A Message to Jason
We walked together, you and I
A father and his son
We had Hopes and Dreams for tomorrow.....
But tomorrow didn't come.
We walked together you and I
We talked, we laughed we lived.
We shared so many happy times,
And for that I thank the Lord above.
We walked together, you and I
But only for a short time.
For all too soon it ended
Leaving pieces of a broken heart behind
And even though I miss you
More than words could ever say.
I thank God that I got to walk with you
Every precious moment of every day....

I WALK BESIDE YOU, WHEREVER YOU ARE,

Allison, forever a sister to Jason--must now live without her brother
WHEN MY OLDER BROTHER WAS KILLED, I BECAME AN ONLY CHILD
WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE COME BACK HOME, DON'T LEAVE ME HERE
ALONE. JASON, LIFE WITHOUT YOU HERE JUST ISN'T THE SAME. YOU
ARE SO FAR AWAY AND I MISS YOU MORE EVERY PASSING DAY. WHY
DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE? ONE DAY DEATH TOOK YOU AWAY FROM ME.
JASON, I LOVE YOU.
A BROTHER IS FOREVER
That is what they say. When you loose a loved one their soul goes to heaven.
That's what happened to me for I lost my ONLY brother. I just always
assumed Jason would be here forever. I know that I will see him again one
day and I will never forget him ever because I know deep within my heart
A BROTHER IS FOREVER
MY BROTHER NOW IN HEAVEN
There is always a face before me, a voice I would love to hear
A smile I will always remember of a brother I loved so dear.
Deep in my heart lives a picture more precious than silver or
gold. It is a picture of my brother, whose memory will never
grow old.
I LOOK AT MY BROTHER THEN I LOOK AT ME WITHOUT MY
BROTHER WHERE WOULD I HAVE BEEN? MY FRIEND, MY
BROTHER, MY SHADOW, MY WORLD. WHERE WOULD I BE
WITHOUT MY BROTHER? TEARS, LAUGHS, SMILES, JOKES
I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU UNTIL THE DAY OF MY DEATH
BEST BROTHER FOREVER UNTIL MY LAST BREATH
Jason never got to see his sister working at Disney
TO THE WORLD YOU ARE ONE PERSON, BUT TO US
YOU ARE THE WORLD
FOR PARENTS WHOSE CHILD HAS DIED, TIME DOES SO LITTLE
EXCEPT TO CONTINUALLY REMIND US OF EXACTLY HOW MUCH
WE HAVE LOST
"WHAT DID I DO WRONG?"
What did I do that went so wrong?I tried to teach you to be wise and strong,
I looked forward to seeing you with family
and home,
I didn't know it would be earth and stone.
I'll never see you walk down that aisle,
I'll never again see that wonderful smile.
My heart is breaking that much I can say,
I can't wait to see you on some distant day.
I am no longer afraid of dying,
Sometimes I think it's better than crying,
Our dear, Jason, one day we will be together,
And we will remain like that forever and ever.
NO AMOUNT OF TIME......WILL EVER MAKE THE HEART ......
THE SAME......AGAIN
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for a part
of us went with you the day God called you home
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as
God calls us one by one, the chain will link again
I am tired of longing for my child.
I am tired on not being happy.
I am tired of telling people my son is dead.
I am tired of my son being dead.
I am tired of not being able to remember what joy feels like.
I am tired of being angry.
I am tired of feeling guilty.
I am tired of missing my son.
I am tired of being told it is a blessing I have an angel in heaven.
I am tired of having to explain myself.
I am so tired of death.
I am so tired of grieving.
I am tired of grief.
I am tired of asking why.
I am tired of not getting an answer.
I am tired of having to learn to live without Jason.
I am tired of being indirectly told to "get over it".
I am tired of reliving the night of his death over and over.
I am tired of endless hours at the cemetery.
I am tired of that street corner.
I am so, so tired of not being able to remember...
Every moment of my son's life.
I am tired of being tired.
