7.26.08 a special day for us! I’m thinking of you a little extra today. You are never far from my thoughts & always in my heart but some days it’s extra heavier in both. You are missed!! Thank you for some of the happiest days that I now have as precious memories.
Love & miss you always and what could have been …

Happy Birthday, little brother. You are loved and missed every day. What would you have been like at 42?
Only God knows why you aren't here to celebrate. Trusting Him always,

Remembering you always but especially today. I sure wish I would have hugged you tighter had I known it was the last time. So many things remind me of you. It’s crazy how my body- emotionally & physically reacts to this month. September hits and I can feel the loss more than usual. I’ve continued my life and I’ve done well, considering, but I’ll always have a part of me that’s still with you. The way our story ended was not something I had imagined and it’s extremely unfair.
Your life was one that had purpose and brought so much to everyone around you. You were taken too soon!! Until we meet again, love always

You are not forgotten! I carry you in my heart; although, it feels more accurate to say you took a piece of my heart with you. You missed and loved deeply!!!

Thinking of you a lot today. You recently had a birthday, Oct 24th. I thought of you more on that day as well. You know, it just dawned on me that we were engaged on this weekend 10 years ago. Maybe that’s why my brain has been sorting through thoughts of you today. I can’t believe it has been that long. I don’t think my heart will ever be whole again. You took it with you! You are forever missed.

Jerry, thinking of you today. I spent some time at Mike & Pam's today. The boys and their families were there as well. Paislee and Zoe hunted Easter eggs. I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I think of you often, but especially today. I've tried to imagine how our lives would be if you were still here. I usually don't dwell on it for long as I know it's not doing me any good. Im forever grateful to you for giving me an extra family. Your parents, Mike, Pam and the boys have been so good to me. Thank you for making me part of your family and for choosing me. You are missed, & loved always.

Thinking of you today on what is the 7th year since losing you. Wow, I can't believe it has been 7 years already. We took a wreath to the cemetery today and then stopped by to visit with your parents. It was good to see them. Paislee enjoyed Maggie. I'm sure you know all about Paislee. Life sure is strange. I still think of you often and a piece of my heart will always be with you. I don't think it will ever be the same. Please continue to watch over us, until we meet again.
Love always,
Samantha

Hi sweetheart, I can't believe it's been almost seven years
since you left us and stepped into Heaven. We, your family
will never stop loving and missing you. Our days are long
and empty without you.
Here is a poem that I wrote, and its for you.

" I just stepped into Heaven"
I just stepped into Heaven
What a glorious sight.
Then I saw my Savior
Standing to the right.
He reached His hand to me
And said come child and see
All the glory and the wonder
that I have for thee.
Then I saw my loved ones
who had gone on before,
they shouted out a welcome,
we'll be together forever more.
come join the celebration
it will last eternally
I've made it home to Heaven,
please don 't mourn for me.
i'll be waiting by the gate
when your time comes to leave
and I will welcome you
as others welcomed me.
written by Mom

I love you Son and I miss you every day.

Jerry:
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS, TIME HAS
WENT BY SO FAST, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT
YOU HERE WITH US.
YESTERDAY, SEPT. 13, MARANATHA BAPTIST CHURCH HAD
A "GOD BLESS AMERICA DAY", THEY RECOGNIZED AND
HONORED, MILITARY AND FIRST RESPONDERS. THEY
DISPLAYED A PICTURE OF YOU ON THE OVER HEAD AND
READ ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. IT WAS AN
EMOTIONAL DAY FOR US. CHRIS BURFORD, ROB HENDERSON, TONY GAYLOR AND TRAVIS HAWLEY JOINED
US AT THE SERVICE. TWO LADIES FROM THE CPAAA WERE
THERE ALSO. IT MEANT A LOT TO US TO HAVE THEM THERE. THE OFFICERS ALSO WENT TO THE CEMETERY
AND THEN TO THE HOUSE FOR SANDWICHES. WE HAD
A GOOD VISIT WITH THEM. WE MISS YOU HONEY, BUT
WE KNOW THAT WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY THAT YOU WELCOME US INTO HEAVEN. CHRIS AND IRENE HAVE A LITTLE ONE, JUST ONE YEAR OLD AND EXPECTING ANOTHER ONE IN NOV.
I'M SURE I MENTIONED THAT CHRIS AND ERICA HAVE
A LITTLE GIRL NAMED ZOE, SHE IS EIGHT MONTHS OLD.
TRAVIS ANE DARLENE HAWLEY ALSO ARE EXPECTING A
BABY. I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE MISSING SO MUCH, BUT I'M
SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT GOES ON WITH US AS MUCH
AS GOD WILL ALLOW.
SAMANTHA AND DERICK ARE EXPECTING, IN FACT, SHE
WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR AN EMERGENCY
C-SECTION. WE'RE PRAYING THAT THINGS WILL GO
WELL, SHE HAS LOST SO MUCH.
I WISH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU AND SAMANTHA
BUT GOD KNOWS BEST AND WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT ALL
SOMEDAY. I WILL CLOSE FOR NOW, DAD AND I LOVE
YOU SO MUCH AND MISS YOU EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY
DAY. LOVE MOM.

Beverly Jones,

Jerry,

It has been 6 long years that the lord called you home. We miss very much. There is not a Day goes by that you are not thought of. Well Jerry we miss you. I can't wait to see you when I get to Heaven. Tell Grandpa Shepherd that we all said hi.

Love and miss you very much Jerry

Tomorrow, 9-13-15 will make 6 years since you were taken from us. Although I'm living my life and moving on to the future, it's 6 years later and I'm still unable to completely sort through all of your things. I've made progress and given a lot of things to your family, but I'm down to the last couple of boxes/ tubs and I still struggle. I'd like to make a memory book out of some of the things that were given in your honor after your death. I'll get around to it, hopefully soon. I try but it's like salt on a wound. I hope you understand that I put things off or keep them hidden in my mind/ heart because it's the only way Ive been able to cope. I hope you're happy for me and the progress I've made. The past couple of years (after losing both my mom & Cooper), I've been determined to do what makes me happy and to live. People will have their opinions but it's MY life and I'm finally at a happy place. It doesn't mean you are forgotten or that you don't matter. You are still very much a part of me and I carry you in my heart. I really miss you & Cooper. I hope he's with you.
We went to the cemetery today and placed a wreath. It was chilly & windy, I think it's the first time in 6 years that the weather has been like this on this weekend. It's usually sunny & warm, just what I need.
You are missed more than you would ever imagine. I still can't make sense of why you were taken so soon. I'm thankful for the short time you were here and that you made me a part of your life. We will meet again, one day.
