My sweet baby boy, I just want to thank the Lord for allowing me to borrow you for the time we had. Your face, smile, and cries hold a place in my heart, and for that, I can’t be sad. Although if I would have known my last time holding you was the last time holding you, I would have never let you go. I do understand the Lord had other plans, so to heaven you had to go. -Love Mommy

Jr, My Boy, First and foremost, I’m going to miss you. I had so many plans, dreams of us fishing, playing sports, cut ting the grass, working on cars, and you walking a straight line. I just wanted you to be a better man than me. I will miss the way you would stare into my eyes, me blowing on your face just to see you smile, and you raspy cries when it was time to eat. I hate our time was cut so short, but the creator had other plans. The Bible says in 2 Samuel,” I will go to him, but He shall not return.’’ So, until we meet again, this is not good bye, but see you soon.

-Your Loving Father, Ja’Christopher Sr.

My goal was to protect you, but now you have to protect us. I love you Junior. -Jasmine Hi my little brother. I’m very sorry I was not here for you, but now you are watching me. I love you. -Janae

I love you baby brother. -Omari and Ja’Miracle

The time I spent with you I will forever hold in a special place in my heart. It was love at first sight from the start. Who would have known we would have to part. You’re my guardian angel now and forever in my heart. -Granny Karen The blood that ran through your veins was red, and when you left, our hearts were blue. God said whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Ja’Christopher Jr, that was you. You were loved dearly, but God loved you more. I’m your Big Auntie, the one you would have adored. -Aunt Toni To Our Grandson Ja’Christopher Jr, (Lil Man) You were so very, very special from the very start we held you in our arms, but mainly in our hearts. You have gone to play with the angels in the Heavens up above. Although you were with us for just a little while, you left special memories that will forever be in our hearts. Love you. -Papa (Richard) & Granny (Marilyn) My Dear Sweet Nephew, There’s so much I would’ve loved to say and so much I would’ve loved to know about you. We wondered so much about your smile, your personality, and just what kind of person you would be. To say the least , we wish we had more time, although we are Grateful for the time we had. Love forever, -Aunt Bridgette

Silent My Child

My silent child Our precious baby Close to my heart I’ll keep you with me

An important job God has for you There is love to give and work to do.

He needs an angel strong, but small To shine light on many and give love to all Before you go, I give you this Half of my heart and one last kiss. We will miss you dearly, that we know But by God you were chosen So to heaven you must go .

S AMUEL 1:27-28 I prayed for this child, and

the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.

Statement of Appreciation Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song, if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, by word or deed or touch. Whatever was the kindly part, We thank you, oh so very much.
