Jess, Gramp, I and the whole gang went up to your Mom's & Dan's house to celebrate his 50th birthday yesterday.  How we wish you could have been there., we know you were in spirit.  It was a very nice party Dan put it on for himself and it was also Gramp's 77th birthday. It's kind of funny that they both have the same date for their birthdays but sometimes they both act allike.  Mom has a beautiful memory garden in the backyard for you, with a beautiful mix of flowers, angel and even a fish.  We always feel you are with us in spirit but how I wish I could just hug and kiss you one more time.  I miss you so much Jess but Gramp and I speak of you each and every day and keep remembering the good times we all had together. This seems to keep us both going in these hard times. 

Love & Miss You Lots,
Gram & Grampa 

Jess, Today was Mother's Day and Dan bought a card from you for Mom, it was such a beautiful card and so fitting.  We know how hard it is for her each and every day but Mother's Day is even harder.  I think you were here with us watching over Mom and sending her lots of love.  Dan always remembers her for you with a card and love and kisses.  We just miss you so much Jesse and wish you could be here.  We will all be together again some time.  Missing you is something we do every day but the heart ache never goes away.

LOVE AND MISS YOU
SENDING LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES,

Gram & Gramp

Jesse,
It's fishing season again. I think you were fishing before you were walking. Aunt Chris had this cute picture of you showing off your catch that day. We miss your stories, your smile, & everything.
We all Love & Miss you

Jesse,
It was always a good time when the whole gang could be together and we all had such a good time!!! This was the time you were driving Miss Daisy (your Mom) in the Antique Car.
Love,
Aunt Chris

               Jesse, You were one of the most important people in my life.We understood each other more than most.You were always very loving.You were beautiful.You couild always make me laugh.

Jess,  I can't believe it is already five years ago that you gained your wings.  Yet some days it seem a lot longer.  We often talk of all the good times we have had.  The other day Grampa brought up the time when you locked your Mom's keys in the trunk at the camper when she was getting ready to leave.  Grampa & I knew you wanted to stay longer, while I guess you did by the time the locksmith came and unlocked it.  We also have a lot of pictures of you and your cousins at the beach and campground having a grand ole time.  Those were the good days and now they are the memories we have to look back on.  Nothing will ever be the same you were such a sweet loving and caring boy and we want you to know we think of you each and every day..  We all miss and love you very much.

Love,
Gram & Grampa 

We need to hold on to the memories that made us smile. The ones that we could feel the joy from our heads to our toes. The memories that make our hearts sing. I remember all of us going to amusement parks, fairs, and camping. I'm not sure if this was the first ride Jesse took his Mom on, but he sure looks proud and she looks so happy.

Jesse,   
  

       On this day in 2007 our family experienced a great loss.Something no one would of ever thought could happen to this family.The loss of a child.After hearing the awful news that you died,my thoughts were of your mom.Oh my God, Wanda.This is her son, her only child,the one she loves more then life,the one she has fought for, for as long as I can remember.Oh my God!!How can this be true?But it was.There was nothing anyone could do to make it not true.GRIEF not a very big word but the hell it brings to your life is unreal.It rips you apart,plays with your mind,hurts in a way you never felt before.It brings you to your knees and you pray to God to please lessen the pain.A part of your heart dies.A part of you dies.Life as you once knew it is no longer the same.We needed each other and we were all there Jesse.The only way to get through the days that followed was together.Jesse you mattered to us all.We love and miss you always and forever.I miss your beautiful brown eyes,your smartass ways,your laugh,yoursmile,your hugs and most of all Jesse I miss your love.The love you had for your family was great.We will aways carry you in our hearts.We hold onto the many memories you have left with us.We cherish your Daughter.You brought so much happiness to our lifes.You were such a great part of our family!                                    Much Love to You

I remember the time  u  took me to the movies up at grandma wanda's And when I called great grandma and I said u make sure no one uses my bed. 

Hi Jess,

I  can't believe it is already five years ago that you were calling me at work to let me know that you and Amaya were leaving our house to go to your Mom's.  You were so excited that you had to go back a couple of times to our house because you forgot one thing or another.  You said Gramp helped pack the car and you were going to stop at MacDonald's in Enfield to get a Happy Meal for Amaya and then you and her would be on your way.  You were so happy and couldn' t hardly wait to see Mom and Dan.  We really missed you while you were gone, it just didn't seem the same here without you and Amaya it was way too quiet.  We really enjoyed all the good times we had together.  I guess now we just have to hang on to all the memories.  Want you to know how much we all loved you!!  LOVE, GRAM  & GRAMP  

Hi Jess, Mom & Dan had a party for Amaya, can't believe it was 5 years ago that we were celebrating her birthday at out house, how I wish I could turn back the time. a thing, Mom had pin the tail on the Donkey, put clothes pin in the milk bottle, guess what was on the tray, etc..  Everyone participated and enjoyed it.  I think it made Mom think of all the parties she had for you when you were little.  Then Mom & Dan spent the next whole day with Amaya taking her to the movies, out to lunch and just simply spoiling her, she enjoyed every minute.  Her party had a western theme, Mom bought her a pink cowgirl hat, the center piece was of boots, batches and hats.  She had a large bouquet of baloons that Mom let her pick out and some flowers for each table centerpiece and of course Mom made the goody bags for each.  Mom also bought her some clothes and two different dresses that she can pick from for the wedding.  We were all thinking of you on this special day for Amaya and wishing you were here. We all miss and love you very much!!

Love,
Gram

Jesse,
I'm sure you were with us at Christmas. We all celebrated your Mom & Dan's  engagement. I know you would be so happy for them. Remember when we all went to Howe Caverns. The funny tour guide....the Marriage Stone. That was such a fun day. We all miss you so much. Sending you hugs & kisses.

Jesse, Uncle Ken and i were talking about the time you and Chet were in that accident in enfield.Kenny was saying he wished he was a fly on the car to see what went on after the crash.The two of you with all the men in blue.
