"NEPHEW"

Jay you've been such a good example of what a loving nephew should be. You and I always got along so well. Even if we disagree.

You've always been so patient and so understanding. You never asked for anything that was too demanding.

Jay you were always so willing to give. You were always a joy to be around. You were such a wonderful nephew. You deserve to wear a special crown.

You had such a good heart and you were always honest and true. You have been to me such a loving nephew and your Auntie dearly loved you.

Little Did We Know

Little did we know that morning that God would
call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went
with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are
always on our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be a resting place,
Along the road to sweet eternity. We all
Have different journeys, different paths along
The way, we all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay … our destination is a
Place far greater than we know. For some,
The journey’s quicker, for some the journey’s
Slow. And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward and find an
Everlasting peace together,
With the Lord.

 

A Mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain.
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may,
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
It defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand,
And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.

I can't seem to move past the ache but I'm going to continue to praise the Lord anyway, thanking him for your life and its impact on mine.

I will love you always.

"This Year You Will Celebrate Your Birthday In Heaven"

In Loving Memory

Friday,September 7, 1979 to Sunday, April 5, 2009

There is no cake to cut; there is no ice-cream to share,

There is just an empty seat at the dining room table there.

That is a fact that is very clear,

 But we will still celebrate with you my dear

For this year you would celebrate thirty years of life

Loving, rejoicing with lots of laughter and some tears

Reaching out to people both far and near

Touching the hearts of those that were even your peers

There will always be a memory candle that will always glow

There was a time when you laid under my heart

Now a tragic event in our lives have caused us to part

No one on earth will ever truly understand,

How much I miss you baby, how hard it is to go on without my little man,

You were my joy precious, my life and blessing from God,

Being a mother to you was my reasonable service, it was a joy not a job

Oh Jay I knew one day that you would leave the nest,

But I never knew that it would be because God knew best,

Because of one awful night when you were homeward bound

Evil sought after you, and caught you, and there caught in evils grips you were found

No one you loved was there to whisper to you sweet darling it is alright,

 Go ahead Jesus is here, it's okay to take your scheduled flight,

 My darling son in the arms of Jesus is where you will go,

God's love, comfort and peace is all you will ever know

To your rightful place where eternal life will not fell

To keep you wrapped up in God's comfort and peace

Surrounded with God's love for an eternity where it will never cease

 Jay, no one will ever know what a price that Sunday morning you paid

To be justified and rewarded for the promise on Calvary Hill Jesus made

Our precious Savior laid down His life on that old wooden rugged cross

Then went to hell and showed the devil and death who was boss

Victory, victory Jay is your real story

That Sunday morning was not your end

You went home to your Father in heaven

That He and only He would get the real glory

Jesus proclaimed,"oh death where is your sting"

Only I can raise the dead and give life this is for sure

I laid down my life and paid the debt for Jason

For I am the light and the resurrection, I am that pure

Jesus took the sting out of death, and gave you victory Jay, all of that Jesus did

Now you are resting my sweet precious one

You know unlike your mommy, that the victory was really won

What a wonderful time you must be having celebrating there

Angels all around you singing Happy Birthday Jason

Rejoicing and praising the one who really care

Not one preparation for this birthday celebration was eliminated no not none

Now to all of your loved ones you have left behind

That we must learn the true love of God, and how easy it is to find

To be able to rest in the arms of Jesus, with no worry, or no care

To know Jay that you are safe in heaven up there

But I just want you to know, we are celebrating your birthday

All of your family and all of your true friends

We are all celebrating your life and birthday

Because we know that death is not where celebrating a birthday ends

Happy Birthday my precious Son, We all truly loved you,

From: Mommy, Pops, Grammy, Granddaddy, Auntie,

All your brothers and sisters, Mom B, a host of Aunt's and Uncle's

 your Godparents, your Cousins, and your Church Family

and your special mom, Pastor Mary L. Johnson,

Extended family, friends, neighbors
