Hi sweetheart, Have thought about you all day. But I think of you everyday. I miss you so much. Guess you are looking down and saying what in the world is going on down there. It is a troubling time so much is different and troublesome. I sure hope God comes to our rescue soon. When you see Papa give him a hug for me as well as the rest of our loved ones there. Bet you are enjoying Uncle Elvin and his playing and singing those good gospel songs. Everyone here is doing OK. Sending you some new pictures. Mama & Daddy and your brothers are all well. J'me is proud of his little grandson and will soon have a little granddaughter as Wendy's son Sterling & wife are expecting in March. You would love all of them as they would you. Lil Sam, is getting to be a young man he just turned 12. Amanda's 3 are growing up too. I love and miss you so much. I cherish all the wonderful memories of times we had together. Hugs and Kisses my Angel.

Happy Birthday sweetheart. Nana misses you. Not a day goes by that I don't remember the times we shared. I keep you forever in my heart. Sometimes I want to talk to you and I sit down and remember the many times we talked about so many things. I can still hear your voice, your laugh, it brings me a lot of comfort. I don't know if you have had a chance to see Uncle Elvin yet. I know Papa was glad to see him. Give Papa a hug for me. I miss you both so much. Love Nana.

Hi baby, Fourteen years still seem like yesterday. Your Mama and I went to a baby shower for our sweet Lauryn today. Can you believe it. She married Will Edwards and they are expecting a little boy anytime now. Hard to believe. She is a beautiful young woman. Miss you so much my dear grandson. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Becca, Matt and Matt's girlfriend Kathrine came to see me yesterday. They spent a lot of time talking about you and fun you all had together. Kristin still misses you and gets sad this time of year as does all your family especially Me, Joesph, and your Mom & Dad. You will forever be close in my heart my love until we meet again. Give Papa a hug for me. Love and miss you both so much. NANA.

Happy Birthday sweetheart. Shared some pictures with you. It is a little cool today. Keep you close in my heart baby. Think of our times together and feel you close. I know you are happy and I try to be too. I miss you and Papa so very much. Give my love to him too. I know you are happy to know your Mama & Daddy are together still and doing well. They seem happy. Well I will say bye for now. I love and miss you baby so very much. NANA

Sweetheart, just thinking about you, wanted to share some pictures with you. Miss you so much. You are always in my heart baby and you always will be. Give Papa a hug and kiss for me. Tell him to give you one for me. Love you both and miss you both so much.

Well babe, we haven't visited for awhile. Things have not been so good for Nana. Still miss you so very much. Hope you and Papa are roaming those golden streets. I know you were thrilled to learn your Mama & Daddy are together again. You always wanted that so much. They are real happy, just like you wanted them to be. Your Daddy is very good to Nana and looks out for me a lot. I know that makes you happy too as it does me. Give Papa a hug and tell him I miss and love him too. You will always be close in my heart beside Papa. Love and Miss you so much. Nana

Happy Birthday my angel. It is so hard to believe you would have been 31 years old today. My arms still ache to hold you close and kiss your sweet face. I pray you and Papa are having wonderful times together and I know you are both happy and free of pain. I love & miss you both so much. It is my prayer to be with you both one day. Hugs & Kisses my sweet grandson. You are always close in my heart.

My sweet angel. 11 years and I still long to hold you in my arms, kiss your sweet face. I miss the times we spent together. We shared so much. I would not bring you back to suffer sweetheart but I will always miss you. I know you and Papa are happy to be together. Love you both so much. Bye for now my angel.

Happy Birthday, baby! It has been a bittersweet day. Love and miss you so much! I know you and papa are having a great time. Keep holding onto each other and one day I will be there with you and there will be no more parting, no more sorrow. Love you baby boy!

My angel 10 years ago today you left us to be with Jesus. We still miss you so much. I know you are happy and no longer suffer and I am thankful for that. I know that Papa is so happy to at last have you in his arms again and that you and he are having a grand time. I bet you both enjoyed the beautiful song your Mom sang for you in Church yesterday. We had a lot of tear filled eyes. You are still remembered and loved by so many and your family will love you always. We carry you in our hearts and always will. One day Nana. is going to join you and Papa and we will have a grand reunion. You and Papa give each other a hug & kiss for me. Love you forever.

My darling, I am a little late for your birthday, but I thought about you. I wrote on your other site as did your mom. Jason sent you wishes too and said he loved you. You got a lot of wishes on facebook. Everyone still misses you so much. Lil Sam talks about you so much. I know you didn't get to meet him. Andrea didn't have him tell after you went to be with Jesus. He talks to you and sings for you. He gets angry if anyone tells him he doesn't know you. He says I do so know my cousin Jon, he's in heaven with Jesus but he talks to me. He is seven years old now. He is real smart. Has a lot of your ways. Like you he loved Papa so much. He asked me if we could get on a space ship & go to heaven and visit Papa. He comes up with lots of things & ways of visiting. He is a mess. You and he would have been great buddies. Well baby I will say bye for now. I love & miss you so much as I do Papa. Give each other a hug. I long for the time when I will be with you and Papa. My heart aches for both of you.

Nine years ago my world changed forever. I miss you so much, son. I love you and hold you in my heart always. Love, Momma

Hi Baby, Had you on my mind. I miss you so much, no one will ever know just how much. I bet you and papa are celebrating being together. I know you were there waiting for him when he crossed over. I know the day is coming I will see you again. Until I get Home, I will continue to hold you in my heart. Love, Momma

Hi Baby, sorry it has been so long. You know you have been with me and I look forward to your visits and still love our chats. I know you know what is happening with papa & me. Ask Jesus to please bless papa and help him get better. If it's his will we pray he will continue to do well with his treatments and overcome this bad thing called cancer. We love & miss you so much.

Are you singing with angels Silent Night, I wonder what Christmas in Heaven is like
Are you kneeling with shepherds before Him now, can you reach out and touch His face
Are you part of that glorious holy knight, I wonder what Christmas in Heaven is like.
Merry Christmas, angel, I love you!

The memorial tattoo to Jonathan is worn on the arm of his brother Joseph.

Five years ago the angels took you to heaven to be with Jesus. Our hearts broke and the pain still is in our hearts. We miss you so very much but our memories of you are strong and bring us great comfort. We still hear your laughter and see your beautiful smile. One day we will be together again until then we will cherish the memories and love we shared.

Even though time goes by, the loss is still hard. I miss you, my angel, and love you so much. Love, Momma

Jonathan, you will always be that special someone who touched the hearts of everyone you came into contact with. I know you touched my heart and you left a part of you with me. It will live on forever in my heart. Thank you for being such a kind and loving nephew. I will always love you.

My son, I miss you more than words can say but I know with God's grace and mercy we will see each other again. I love you,J! Thanks to Kristin for creating this beautiful site in your memory.

I have so many memories of them and I treasure all of them.
