Just wanted to send my love and thanks to you. I know Leo is always watching over us and eveyday something comes to mind to make me think of your brown eye boy. And like the song I hear on the Radio, " Me and My Gang" and as I sit on my patio and look down theres a Lady bug sitting by me. Don't ever give up hope , and don't ever give up faith, for I know you;ll see your boy again.
I wanted to send you this thanks that I put on Jamie's tribute to help others .
Your always in my thoughts and prayers, and have been striving to get an income started, but I trust in the Lord to bring it all 2gether for us.,
Sincere thank you. I added this to Jamie's site ,but wanted to send it to you as well.
I wanted to send a Thank you to all who sent prayers by lighting candles, thoughts, visits e-mails and calls on Jamie’s 2nd year Memorial. It’s all greatly appreciated and I love you all. It helps me to cope each and everyday and to make July 8th a special day in Jamie honor, you all help to makes it happen. Sorry, I haven’t been on the sites much lately I’m finding it much too difficult, but am building up my strength and faith and want to be there for you all again, when I get strong again. Also, on this Journey of Loss, grief and sorrow, comes a new hope, Faith and Love in my walk with Our Lord and Savior. I put my complete trust & faith in the Lord. I know we have been chosen for his great plan and one great day he will bring us all 2 gather again.
Even though everyday is still such a struggle, I know without a doubt I couldn’t have made it thus far with out God, Our Lord and the Heaven’s above and love from family & friends and all of you who visit the site. And knowing my Jamie spirit lives on and his love continues on. Keeps me striving for the eternal glory….for one awesome day I will hold my Jamie again…forever and always…
Also I have been very busy in trying to launch a new business, In Jamie’s honor. With the help from above a new business adventure is formed and inspired to begin “Hopey’s Heavenly Gifts & Treasures.” ( A Home Gift shop of Handmade Dried Flower arrangements , Gift Baskets , Inspirational gifts and more. ) I’ve started loading some of the pics on Face book of some of my products I do.
I have been working on launching this for some time, but like any business is slow starting and not too mention it’s tough when your weighed down with grief and sorrow, and when your physically , mentally, emotionally drained, BUT THIS IS WHERE I KNOW GOD IS GIVING ME STRENGTH, NOT ONLY to GET OUT OF BED AND GET MY SELF DRESSED (WHICH SOME DAYS IS ALL I’m ABLE TO DO AS I KNOW MOST OF YOU CAN RELATE TO) God is helping me to cope each day and to show me ways I can work from home on this new business and heal as I go. I don’t ever care about getting rich, in the all mighty dollar , as long as I can make enough to take care for my family and again I put my trust in the Lord , b/c He has promised to prosper us see (Jeremiah 29:11)and is blessing us in ways of providing my basics needs, comfort , love and PEACE. TO LET HIM TAKE CARE OF ALL THESE THINGS, AND THE JOY THAT COMES WITH KNOWING GOD IS WITH ME EVERY MOMENT I NEED HIM.. B/C WHEN I DON’T THINK I CAN MAKE IT TO THE NEXT MOMENT, HE ALWAYS SHOWS ME I CAN.
I only hope that this may help who ever reads it, to know even though we suffer greatly now, consider it a blessing when you suffer all kinds of trials, James 1-3 because we are chosen for his plan. And I know my Jamie has been called to the heavens b/c of the great person he is and I know I God has chosen us for this, b/c he knew it was going to bring me closer to him. And if I can help one person, from the everyday hell that we go through please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. I will gladly keep you in my prayers.

i miss my friend / Vanessa `. Miller (Friend)
I miss a friend, who truly turned my life around. When trying to go thru the pictures, and the memories, I start to cry, because I know Im never going to beable to have those memories.. or beable to see that beautiful face looking at me..
Its been a rough 2 and some years Leo.. Thank you for all the signs you've given me. Please know i dont intentionally mean to not come visit you.. but it seems that it gets harder and harder everydayy.
Right now, its even hard to type this, becasue i feel as if everything I say is wrong.
I just miss you so much.. and I wish I could do something that could bring you back. Because if there was something.. I would do it in a hearbeat..
Also, a good friend, Shana Berryman lost her life last weekend, and I was wondering if you could keep her safe for me? I know you will.. she's a party animal just like you. I miss you both dearly..and I need to know your both okay.
I love you so much, and I cannot wait to see you again.

Thinking about Leo and his family / Diante Wayne (Braden Erickson's friend )
I've been thinking about Leo's friends the other day. I feel sorry for them. They must be going through hard times. If I was there, I could tell them how I feel. I lost my friend, Braden from this game. I really need him. I miss his smile. His smile melts my heart. I wish can see him make Leo laugh. I could picture him right now. I think Leo is a wonderful person with alot of love and attention to him. I'll see him in my dreams. I'll be so happy to see these boys. We will hang out together in heaven and play around. I hope Leo's friends and his parents stay strong. You will be in my dreams, Leo.Close

Dear Rose and family. Just to let you know that I am thinking of Leo and all your family and friends. That 2 year mark can be just as hard as that first year and hope you all came through ok. I can't imagine any anniversay date will ever be easy for any of us. What a wonderful idea about the walk! Please let me know how that goes. We did a bowl-a-thon and was also thinking about a walk someday.
Thank you also Rose for all the messages you send our way for all those special occasions. They really help get thru those days. All my prayers and love your way. (I now Leo and Kyle are together up there and are watching out for us)
Tributes and Condolences
