Jeffrey,

Just over four years now... Still unbearable at times, but we all take great comfort in knowing that you are home with our Father and that one day we will all be together again.

So much has changed in four years. A lot of it put in motion by you. Especially when we look at our family. The family YOU have built. Mick and I just celebrated our 5th anniversary. Thank you for bringing him into my life. Neither Rhyann nor Gabe would be here if you had not put things in motion to create those two families.

We're doing better... Miss you terribly, but know that you are safe and basking in the glory of heaven.

Always loving you,

Mom 

Not a day that goes by I don't think about u and miss u. We had some of the best times together and the day u left this world I lost one of the most important people in my life u was just like my son and I miss u texting me everyday. Can't wait until the day we meet again. I love u jd!!

It's your 22nd birthday. The years have flown by. But not a day goes by that I don't remember your smile. Summers aren't the same without you. But I'm thankful I got to have the brother/sisterly bonding with you one last time. I'll never forget what you told me before you left, and it'll stay with me forever. I promise. I'm sure you're making an amazing angel up there, big bro. I love you, Happy Birthday.

Brandon picked the right person to call his best friend. He'll never have another one that measures up to you.

i miss you sooooooooooooo much.. i find myself crying more and more as time goes on.. i am a mess without you. you were my go to man. i dont have that anymore. you were more of a big brother to me than an uncle.. i find life harder without you and dont know how to make it better.. you passing just showed me how life is without any one there for you and with noone to talk to. ive learned to trust noone.. i hope to see you soon! i miss you soo much and love you a lot.. im just trying to get through life without you.. its very hard and is only getting harder.. especially with your anniversary coming up.. this is one of the hardest days for me.. please just watch over me and keep me safe.. please just keep me together.. love you lots!!

Our second Christmas without you here with us. How glorious for you, though, to be celebrating the birth of Jesus right there in heaven!

Who would have thought when you got that crazy tattoo that so many of us would use those stars to help symbolize our love for you? Rachel has the same tattoo on her foot - looks much better than the one you had put on your neck! Carla has one, too. Your nieces and nephews draw stars all over everything just to remember their Uncle Jeffrey.

I found some of your school papers from elementary school. Oh yes - you had drawn stars all over them!

I recently came across this quote:
 
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
-- Inspired by an Eskimo Legend

I like knowing that you are happy. I miss you terribly - always will. But I know that one day I will see you again.

Love always,

Mom

I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you! There isnt a day that goes by I dont catch myself thinkin about you. Rememberin all the movies and applebee's trips we took :) I'll only eat 2 for $20.

Just checkin in with you.  Your are ever present in our lives, the first thought in the morning and the last at night.  Miss you sooooo much, but we are getting healthier all the time.  Can't question God's will . . . so we accept that you are home and we are so thankful for the time we had and can't wait to see you again.  Love You!
