Happy Birthday Marine!!!!! I know you and all your other buddies that are with you are shaking the pillars of Heaven with your celebrating! Ha!Ha! Just like when you were here with me! I was remembering all the fun we always had at the Marine Corp Balls. I smile when I remember washing your gloves to make then as white as possible, and helping you button that top neck button on your dress blues jacket. God, you were so perfect in that uniform, the perfect Marine! Even when others rid their hats and gloves 1/2 way through the night, you always stood proud fully dressed, saying, "Once a Marine, always a Marine, and this is how its done." We always had so much fun dancing and laughing with all your Marine brothers. I know you're in great company, & my heart is heavy with you not here with me to celebrate. But I'm also happy in my memories of your smile and laughter. I remember how we always had to look perfect before entering the ballroom, you so proud! You always took the lead when carrying the flags for the opening cememony. I was always so proud to have you on my arm, but then again, it was like that wether for the balls or life in general! I was looking at all my dresses for the balls, and remember your special thoughts on each one of them. I always smile to myself with all our special secret memories. You were so articulate. I loved you then, and I love you still. I always will James. Thank you for so many bright and happy memories Marine. You will remain forever in my heart James. Our son sings the Marine Corp Hyme for his daddy now. Jesse-James is amazing. We love you Devil Dog!!!!!! I know you're standing strong & proud as always!!!!!!

Hey Brother,
How are you, how's heaven treating you? Of course I already know the answer to that, but thought I'd ask anyway. It's about 0300 in the morning and I'm here at work, I've been thinking about you all day long, you know how sometimes you have those days where nothing else matters except the thought in your head? Well it's been one of those days, and the thought of you has been here all day. Maybe I'm just missin you more than usual.
The kids were so cute for Halloween. Alexis was Wonder Woman, Jesse-James was a lil pirate, Alicia & Aliyah were both scary fairy devil's, and Athena was some type of punk rock girl. We took them out trick or treating and only had to go to El Rito, there was hardly anyone out, so everyone was giving the girls handfuls of candy just to get rid of it. It was a weird Halloween, but the kids enjoyed it, so that's all that matters.
Well I better get back to work now, you know they don't pay me to sit here and chat.:) I'll check in with you again real soon. Love You.
Until We Meet Again, You Are Forever In My Heart

Good Morning James,

Happy 31st Birthday, I wish we could all be together like we use to be. Things have been so different since you went away. I had a dream of you about 10 days ago and you were packing to go somewhere. You gave me that picture, the one with the stitches in your eyebrow. I was kinda mad because you gave me that one. I always ask you to come visit me, and it had been over a year since your last visit. Dad was going hunting that morning, and when he was leaving I felt as though it would be the last time I would see him. I hugged him and cried and when he left I stood at the window to watch him drive off. For the first time in 20 some years and I had never felt like that. I know your leaving has made us all so aware that any day could be our last. There are so many things that are still left undone and I plan to correct that soon. I know it doesn't matter who is at fault, the fact is that when the end is here who did the right thing. You were so perfect in so many ways. I know that you are watching down on us. We love you and we all miss you very much. So until we meet again James take care of us and remember.. Your always in our hearts.

Love You

Happy 31st Birthday in Heaven James!
Jesse-James is so excited to celebrate today for you. He's picked out your cake and knows it's time for all the fun things we've been planning. He didn't want me to go to work so that I'd be home earlier than usual so the fun could start. He insisted on all the balloons his little hands could carry! He's colored you so many little pictures to tie to the baloons. Yes, all the green baloons are for his Daddy! James, I wish you were here to see our son and his amazing smile when he talks about you. He is so proud of his Daddy! Anyone asks, and he tells them about you and all the things you did! Everyone says he's so smart! I miss you greatly James. So many of our plans and dreams I had to let go. You aren't here with me to fulfill them. You are carried in the center of my heart always. This will never change. Our love endures, no matter what may come. It endures! I know you are with us in spirit, I can feel this. It would just be so heart breakingly beautiful to see you walk though the door, hug you and tell you we'd missed you & loved you! It would be awsome to have Jesse-James in your arms. But again, I know you're his greatest fan and his guardian angel! So we celebrate today with you James, and when Jesse-James blows out the candles on your cake, know that his little hearts greatest wish is that you'd come back to play. Happy Birthday James, we love you with all our hearts and know the angels are singing your praises!

Hi James,
You are so missed by Levie and Phyllis. You are always brought up in conversation. You were so loved by both of them. Your mom say's that you were the light of her life, and things have changed so much now that you are gone. Please continue to send your love to both of them from heaven. You are gone but never forgotten and you will forever be in their hearts.
A good friend of Levie and Phyllis.

Hi James,
Just thinking about you as always. Jesse-James went to the rodeo this weekend and was so excited to watch everything and participate. He is such fun to play with and watch having fun. He is a riot. I know you know this, but it feels good to say it anyway. So many people come up and just love him. So many people are concerned about us and how we're doing. But they always tell me I've done a good job cause he's a good boy, very respectful and happy. I've been told a happy child is one that is raised that way, they aren't born that way. It's been tough, but it's how it should be. Our son is my blessing. We love and miss you always. He is sharp and even though it breaks my heart for him to have to learn how you left us, little by little he is learning more about your passing. He just wishes you didn't have to be in heaven, but here with us. I will never let your loss be his crutch. You would not want this. He will excell beyond our wildest dreams.....I will make sure of this. His opportunities will be many...just as we would have it. Again, we love and miss you with all our heart.
Love Veronica & your little man, Jesse-James.

James,
Your loss came so unexpectedly. I thought many more years we would have to share.
But God had another plan and at times the loss and grief are things that are so hard to bear.
We created the most wonderful son. And he looks and acts just like you.
I never thought that I'd have to raise him and care for him not always being reassured by you.
He asks about you all the time and says "Mommy, I miss daddy when can I see him again?"
I tell him you are in heaven and when you reunite you can catch up on all the things that have been.
Hours, days, months and years pass by, but the love of a father and a son never run dry.
I miss you as one of my best friends but I can't change anything that has happened or what has been.
Our son is the legacy that you leave for all to see.
And I pray that God has wrapped his loving arms around you allowing you the chance to be all that you can be.
We love and miss you. You are a world class father James!

Happy Father's Day James!!!
You held him when he first entered our world,
You warmed his first chill,
You wiped his first tears,
& you calmed his first tears.
You are is protector from above, now, and always!
He is small, yet knows the feel of his father's love.
He knows his father loves him, because Mommy tells him so, yet he wishes for his father's arms to help him pitch & throw. He always plays with cars and includes you in his play, he wishes all the time Jesus would have let you stay. You are the best, and will always remain so. I love you and thank you for our Miracle. Jesse-James loves you with all his heart.

James,
You would be in gold uniform today. Instead, you will forever remain golden in our hearts and minds. You instead wear the golden halo bestowed on those who enter the golden gates and walk with the angels. Jesse-James celebrated for you as did your brothers in black and gray who were adorned in the gold. You are Always on our minds and first in our hearts, we love you and miss you greatly.

James,

Three year anniversary of you being called away to serve God has arrived! I know every day for the past three years those that love you dearly have thought of you, and have shed many tears in your memory. People say that for a parent that things will get easier. For those of us that have lost a child they don't understand that our lives have changed forever, our hearts have been ripped from our chests. A parent will never forget that child, and they will always be a part of their lives, and even 15-20 years down the road if we are still here, we will still ask God why and the tears will still come. All any of us can do is take one day at a time and keep our loving memories alive. James, continue to keep watch over your loved ones. You will never be forgotten. We love and miss you dearly.
Love You,
Mom & Dad
(Your Always In Our Hearts)

James,
I'm so glad & greatful that I was so close to you, for a moment of forever!! Our lives are so truly short, we know this, but we pretend it isn't there waiting for all of us. Memorial weekend has come & gone, and everyone we see smiles so happily and with such heart when they lay eyes on Jesse-James. You are always thought about by everyone, not just on special occasions. You are so heart breakingly missed. You had a heart of gold. GOLD! It would have been around the corner: (You being adorned with yet another honor for your hard earned work & determination) Being able to now wear the gold buttons & trim on that sharp NMSP uniform you loved. I'm very happy for your friends who have made their 5 year mark with NMSP. But it hurts my heart knowing that you should have been right here with them. I'm always so proud of you & always have been. Not just for all you accomplished in such a short time, but for the good, loving & giving person you truly were at heart. Our son is missing out on one spectacular Daddy. And you're missing out on one loving, handsome, intelligent little boy. I know miracles happen & dreams do come true, because of us, you are still & always will be with me. I am able to still touch you, hear you & see you: Jesse-James, Your eyes, Your smile, Your hands & feet, Your laugh, Your spirit & charm, Your image: TRUE, EXACT & PERFECT. Never to fade, come day or night....mine to cherish. You are with me....in thought, spirit, heart, & what's more, you are still in my arms. I heard so many times this weekend " The walls in memory of all the ones who wouldn't bend or break....the lives they bravely gave, their pictures in a frame, and still.... more space for the next hero that falls. James, you are the substance of what most people strive to become. You are loved and missed so greatly. my heart hurts for Jesse-James, he is so much a part of you. I wish you could be here to raise your son.. I know you're always watching, but oh the joy he would feel being embraced by "his daddy." We love you, I know you know this.

Hello James,
There was a retirement party for one of your(our) close friends this weekend. You were there, with all of us,and some mentioned you when they said their fairwells to him. So many of the people attending had known this person for over twenty some years, yet one of the newest guys on the force was referenced quite a bit. That was you. Everyone knew what an impact he had on you and what your thoughts were about this man. You looked up to him and knew all your aspirations were possible because he and you are a lot alike,they were all attainable. You should have been there to tell some of your special memories of working with him, cracked some jokes, & wish him your fairwell in person, but as we all know, God chose a different path for you. I'm sure as I said, you will guide and light his future paths. Thoughts of you and seeing Jesse-James running around & playing, brought smiles to so many of your friends. He's a charmer, and yes, my guiding light. Watch over your friends who wear the badge, getting them safely to their destinations and back to their families. You're always in our hearts James. Still bringing smiles and blessed memories!

Good morning James. I just wanted to say that I know for a fact that your mom and dad miss you so much.Theirs not a day that goes by that your not thought of in our conversations. Life is to short, and I know that your mom only does what is fair and right for both of your children. You would be so proud of what decisions she makes for her both grandchildren. We know for a fact that you loved both of them, and you would want everything to be equal for both. I know that your mother has peace in her heart and no quilts in her decisions. Maybe one of these days she will be able to see her grandson, the way she see Alexis. May you rest in peace, and GOD BLESS YOU JAMES.
