Always in our Hearts! My Little Man

God's Little Angel.

Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend...Carol had a great love for her family only to exceed her love for gardening and the out doors. Her grandchildren Josh and Jeremy were a great source of joy to her, as the love for all the children around her. We all lost a wonderful woman much to early in her and our lives.She fought a very brave battle against Leukemia and was very close to coming home "cured" from a bone marrow transplant. We all miss her in our lives very much. She would be so thrilled with her new grandaughter who is her namesake, Mariah Carol Ann.We know your floating on a cloud watching over us all Mom and some day we will see you again. Love Tom, Pam, Ken, Tommy, Fiona, Josh, Jeremy and Mariah

chris was her nickname. christina's maiden name is spencer. chris was her mothers favorite even though they always fought. chris is a strong person in tough times.

Sleep well, my angel, you are in Gods hands now. You will be missed by all who knew you. You are at peace now, no pain, no doctors. We will never forget you Dustin, you were an original.

My mother was born in Union, SC into a very large family of thirteen children. She had a hard but happy life there, eventually completing high school at Sims High and later moving to Spartanburg, SC where she would live the great majority of her life. She met and married my dad in Spartanburg, and together they purchased a home and started a small upholstery business. My mom's entire life was spent in helping others: her family, her friends, and anyone else that needed her. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 9349, and served as president and treasurer of the Military Order of the Cooties. Additionally, Mom's multi-talented skills as tailor, upholsterer, community center director, vocational teacher, and community worker allowed her to meet many people. It was her humor, however, that made her an easy person to know. Friends were so important to my mom, but family was always her main priority. She spent countless hours sewing, quilting, and caring for those she loved. My mother left many to mourn her death, including me, her daughter, a son-in-law, a beloved granddaughter, three sisters, six step-grandchildren, ten nieces, eight nephews, and many other wonderful relatives and friends. Although it has been three years since your death, Mom, we still have wonderful memories of you, especially your last six months spent in Nashville with us. You were a great lady who will always be alive in our hearts and minds!

Isaac was a special man, born in St. Louis to Mary and Isaac Sr. and with several brothers and sisters. I met him in 1982, married him in 1987, and we had a marvelous life together. He worked for Group Health Hospital, and died on a Monday while he was at Lunch at Seattle Group Health Central. His heart stopped beating, and although there were several ER nurses there, and the EMT's and hospital personal were able to revive him once, his heart stopped, and they were unable to revive him again. The whole of Group Health, his family, and his friends grieved his death. He was a friend of many, but spent most of his time with his wife. That would be me. He was an elder of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in West Seattle, he believed in the resurrection and he will one day live again according to his belief. I miss him, he was my best friend ever, and I hope to see him again one day. We planned it, that when Jesus comes again, we would be neighbors in heaven. The scribes asked Christ about a woman who had married a man and he died, and according to Jewish tradition, married his brother, and he died, and on and on, until she had been married several times. Each brother, having been faithful on earth, went to heaven. Then, they asked, who would she be married to in heaven? The answer is in the Bible, take a look at the answer Christ gave.

He was a wonderful man and a loving husband. He enjoyed his job at the Rockdale County Sheriff's Department in Conyers, GA. Although he was there for only 2 years, he touched so many lives. He received "Deputy of the Year" award in December 2000 which his co-workers nominated him for. He and my sister, Tonya Simler Jackson, were married for only 4 1/2 years but had been friends for quite some time before marrying. Although Jack was 22 years older than her, you would have never known it. He was physically fit and full of life. He loved backpacking, Mickey Mouse and he loved being around family. He loved their dog, Misty. She brought alot of joy to him. He fought long and hard against the lung cancer that finally took him from us. He will be missed greatly by all of his family and friends. As his niece wrote in a letter to him and placed in his casket to take with him, "See ya in heaven"!

Mr. James Leroy Jackson left us in 1994, and has lefta large place in our hearts. He was the husband of Mrs.Delores Powell Jackson of Baltimore, Maryland. He was survived by three daughters and four sons. Namely,Gary Jackson, Michael Jackson, Roderick Jackson, and Renaldo Jackson, who were sons. The daughters includedKaren Jackson, Dellareece Jackson, and the late SharleneJackson who departed us in 2003. The family still recalls the memory of Leroy, and hismemory will be with us always as husband, father, familyman and friend. He served in the U.S. Army and was buried with honorsin a military cemetary. We love you "Pop."

You are one of the smartest ladies I know. I love you and hope that you and Morty are enjoying heaven together. See you later some time in the future, Amen.

I miss you little Sis. From your big brother that you never had a chance to know.

You will never be forgotten, you were a great man and I miss you heaps. Thanks for being an excellent grandfather, the best there ever was.

Bye Dad - Sorry we argued so much. It's not important any more is it? Love from Me (Dave) Val, Dan & Amy

Shane was so young, and so full of life, it just doesn't seem fair. Well, I guess death never is. He was my first born son, and a brother of 2 younger sons, he also had a sister, who's older. Shane's death was truly a shock..I still have a hard time dealing with the thought of never seeing his smiling face again, or seeing him grow up. You'll for ever be in our hearts shane, and you know that! I miss you buddy!! love,mom

Sharlene Dora Jackson was the daughter of Leroy Jackson and Delores Jackson of Baltimore. Sharlene had four children, Danielle Hector, Ronnay Jackson, Steven Herring, and Jaquita Carter. Sharlene left two sisters, and four brothers. Dellareece Jackson,Karen Turner, Michael Jackson, Gary Jackson, Ricky Jackson,and Renaldo Jackson. Sharlene was well liked by all that knew her. Her smile was clearly her trademark, and was welcomed by all. Sharlene went to college, and majored in business. She turned her life over to God and was struck down suddenly with cancer. She inspired all with her friendly disposition, no matter the situation. We will miss Shy as she was known. Gone today, but never forgotten in our hearts. Shy you are missed.

God saw the road was getting rough
The hills were hard to climb
He gently closed those loving eyes
And whispered “Peace Be Thine.”
The weary hours, the days of pain
The sleepless nights are passed
The ever-patient worn-out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.

Beloved Husband of Mary. Dedicated father of George, Hollis, Kathryn, James, Ronald, Lynn and Elizabeth. He was a good man

April 13, 2004, our 30 year old daughter drowned while bathing due to a seizure. Because she had not reported to work or called in, I, her mother, received a call to check on her. I kept telling myself, since nobody could reach her by phone, there had to a mix up and she must have taken a vacation day, but even that thought seemed strange since our entire family works at the same place and she would always let me know if she was not coming into work.

Our daughter, KANDA MICHELLE JACOBS, could see so much beauty on this earth. Each spring she would start planting flowers and still be planting into late summer. She had the most beautiful hanging basket of petunias I had ever seen, and her secret was the bumble bee that lived within the flowers. She told me as long as the bumble bee never bothered her, it could live there all summer and fall. And the bumble bee stayed and the petunias grew more and more beautiful all summer and into the fall of 2003. The bee never bothered her and just maybe, I always suspected, the bumble bee knew the home it found was safe.

In the fall, she would purchase an abundance of bulbs for planting and the abundance of bulbs did not even touch the pots and pots of mums she purchased from August through October. We would go shopping for groceries and she would fill her cart completely with mums in every available color. Of course, she never had much room for groceries, but the magnificent beauty of the flowers took priority over what she would be eating the next week. Her yard, house and porch were always decorated for every season of the year with colored lights. My favorite lights were the orange ones she used with the pumpkins, fall colored mums and bunches of dried corn stalks during Halloween and the fall of the year.

During her school years, she was a cheerleader for 6 years and also played a flute in the band through high school. Her appearance had to be to perfection from bathing, lotioning, curling her hair to pressing her outfit. She had her schedule down to a science. Her day started at 4:00 AM to manage everything including all the make up, eyelash curling and lip stick to match her pressed and creased clothing. Lastly , was the chosen perfume of the day and I always woke up without my alarm once the perfume was applied.

She had a love for animals like I had never seen before. She bought medicine for any sick or injured animal in the neighborhood and would try to nurse them back to health. She had two house cats, numerous outside cats and a gorgeous pure white Springer Spaniel. She would stop along the highway to move a turtle from the road to safety. All animals were so special to her and she could not stand to watch an animal suffer. She would worry over an injured animal and try to relieve any suffering as she did for the cat that had walked on hot tar poured in a drive way. She bought antibiotics and cream from the vet for the cat. But to her disappointment, once the cat knew she was going to pump antibiotics down it's throat, the cat did not come near her for a long time.

Kanda was married in 1995 and after having two miscarriages, she went through a divorce so she had lived alone since 1998. Our hometown of Flora, Illinois has a population of 5500 so I never had any cause to worry about her. After all, she only lived five minutes from work. What could possibly happen to her. She was safe. So, I THOUGHT. She lived in a small neat cottage style home and not only did she have considerate and kind neighbors, she also had many animal neighbors since most every family on her street had dogs and cats. But the beauty of all the animals, seasonal decorations and flowers on the outside came together perfectly with the inside of her cozy home. She collected Coca Cola products so she had a Coca Cola utility room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. After going to many fabric stores, I put the final touches in her Coca Cola rooms by making all the Coca Cola curtains.

I found our beautiful Kanda on April 13, 2004 in a flooded bathroom floating face down on top of the water. The water had been running for hours and was ice cold. I propped her head up on a towel, shut off the water and pulled the plug. I immediately called 911 and it took the operator many times to understand the address I kept screaming at her. I sat on the edge of the tub and held my daughter's head rubbing her ice cold face begging for a miracle which, of course, I knew deep down was not going to happen. My husband, Jack, arrived after the EMTs had removed Kanda from the tub and were trying to pump life back into her. My son, Jerrin, and his two children arrived as Kanda was being loaded into the ambulance. She was not pronounced dead until she had reached the emergency room in Flora.

After the ambulance left, the city police locked her house down so they could investigate the cause of her death. It was later ruled accidental due to a seizure. To our knowledge, she had only one other seizure in 2002 and our family doctor thought it had been brought on from stress of working too much overtime.

Our lives are forever changed. Her brother has two children, Aaron age 7 and Ashley age 3. Ashley looks so much like Kanda and we are so blessed to have our son and grandchildren living so near. They keep us alive and the spirit of Kanda alive for all of our family.

Since I, alone, found my daughter, this nightmare will always be with me. She would have been 31 years old on May 24, 2004. Some days I feel cheated but I think about all the beauty she could see on this earth and I know within my heart she was able to grasp all the world had to offer during her 31 year journey here. What a gift she had.

Our entire family misses her funny wit and bluntness as she always had a quick answer for everything, but we also feel so blessed to have had almost 31 years with her. She was not only my daughter, but also my best friend. She always found time in her busy life for me and her family.

ADDENDUM

We, the family of Kanda Michelle Jacobs, were very ignorant as to the seriousness of seizures. Kanda could not admit what she suspected might be going on concerning seizure activity, even as she feared it may be increasing as she became more stressed from demanding job responsibilities and many hours of overtime. Kanda was in denial as to what was happening to her body even though she suspected she might be having seizures in her sleep when she would routinely wake up feeling very sore and achy for no other apparent reason. Even then she did not seek medical attention, as she was fearful of losing her driving privileges and her job which allowed her to live alone and support herself.

Kanda did not have to die. With the correct diagnosis and prescribed medication, she could have lived a normal life, retained her drivers license, and most important of all, she could have maintained her work ethics and stayed self supportive.

Since Kanda's death, we have learned of the many dangers related to seizure activity, and number one on the list is water. No one close to Kanda had ever given thought to the danger of something as simple as bathing. As her family, we are saddened by the fact that the seizure itself was not the cause of Kanda's death, but the seizure caused her to drown when she passed out while bathing with the water still running. Prior to this horrible day, Kanda had passed out completely due to a seizure in the spring of 2002 and to our knowledge and to hers, that particular seizure was the first. We now know she had many in her sleep after this initial occurrence.

We do know that on April 13th, sometime after 12:00 PM , Kanda had exercised at Curves and had eaten a salad from Subway as the container for the salad was still sitting on her kitchen table. Her curling iron was plugged in and her clothes that she planned to wear to her second shift job were laid out and ready. Knowing these facts tells us she was evidently feeling fine as she prepared to go to work that afternoon.

We have added this addendum to the original story in hopes that this information may help others suffering from seizure activity. Any type of seizure activity is serious. Maybe this warning will give someone a second chance, the second chance that our 30 year old KANDA MICHELLE did not get.

Malvina Jone was a very loved person. She will always be remembered through the memories of the people who loved and knew her the most. She was a very important person who was sweet, kind and would always have a smile on her face. Although she is gone, we will always love her. "God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arm around you and whispered "Come with me." With tearfull eyes we watched you pass away, though we loved you dearly, we couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands were put to rest, to prove to us, godonly takes the best." In memory of Malvina Mathildia Jones.

Uncle Pat touched many and is missed by all who knew him. He left behind a loving family including a niece who will never forget all the fun she had with him. I miss you Uncle Pat, see you in Heaven. Love Christy:)

"Chill" - I never told you how proud I was of you for taking care of my sister and being there like you was for her. Her moving away was really scary until I realized how dedicated you finally became to her and the both of you struggled and made life enjoyable for everyone around. Though I often wished I had a man like you, but with you around - we were never bored... I remember our last words to each other and what a hard time I gave you and how much I was looking forward to coming to spend the weekend with y'all and how we were gonna "ball til' we fall"---but we never got the chance, huh????? I will always remeber all the good times we had----and though life goes on, I still often slip away and mourn for you even now!! I Miss You Chill and I Wish You Were Here!!!!! Love, Your Sis-In-Law Beanie

UH- Brother dear I love, I miss you dearly, it breaks my heart to know the LORD took you from us. We all miss you dearly, even though the LORD felt that your work was done here on earth, i wasn't ready for you to go away for ever. I know we had some rough times, and I know that I was kinda mean, but I really regret that I missed the most important day of your life. well that is something I can't change but I miss you dearly. Lil bro I know we had some great times together but we have to say we were straight thuggin' in all the parties and all the clubs. Be reassured even though i mourn you often I am still the strong shoulder you came to rely on for support. okay bro rememeber that I love you from the 1st day I laid eye on you. Tell the LORD when you sit down to supper tonight that your wife, and family still need your support and moat of all HIS HELPING HANDS. lover your sister forever lil bro., COOKIE LADY, TAWANDA JACOBS FOSTER.

I think of you and remember all the good and bad times (more good than bad) that we've shared together. I miss your love, smile, humor...I miss you! When you walked out the door that night as I stood to the top of the stairs looking down at you not knowing that would be my last time seeing you in the flesh. It hurts that I didn't even get a chance to give you a kiss goodbye. I love you with all my heart and there is no one that could take your place in my life. I know you're looking down on me everyday seeing the works I am doing or have done and yes I am getting back into school because I know that was our plans anyway. I dedicate everything that I accomplish or achieve in life to the Lord Jesus Christ and you! I sit back and think about what we would be doing or where we would be at right now. I know the Lord has to do his works and has a purpose for all of us in this life and I'm glad the Lord placed me and you together for some many years. I miss you so much and will love you forever! Alicia "Lisa" Jacobs

A good man..

Patrick died in a car accident. Together with his friend Peter in the age of 22. Patrick was our only son. We miss him more and more. Patrick where ever you are or where ever you will be. Someday somehow we'll be together again. Patrick was a beautiful guy. The sunshine in our lives. Our lives will never be the same without him.

My friend's brother and a special guy, after enduring the pain and suffering of cancer. Sail on, Terry.

Dearest Bubichki, our Mother, Grandmother and loving friend. We all miss you so very much, and words are very hard to come by because: few people are able to touch others unseen in the way that you touched us all. In times of deepest troubles, be it family or friend or stranger, you were always there with a kind word, a gentle touch and loving heart, but in Your hours of darkness, you spread joy with nary a word of complaint. To all of us it was a true measure of who you were, and we are all the better for having had the privilege of sharing your life with you. Bubichki, Mumsie, Mum, Nana, this is especially for you:- " They that love beyond the world can not be separated by it. Death can not kill what never dies, nor can spirits ever be divided that love and live in the same divine principle - the root and record of their friendship......Death is but crossing the world as friends or family do the seas, they live in one another still. This is the comfort of family and loved ones that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship,love and society are in the best sense, ever present because immortal". (William Penn modified) Mum, you are Forever in our hearts.

Name:Ami Jakovleski Ami was the greatest dog ever. He got the Name Ami because the people who gave him to our family had named him Amedeus, but we called him Ami for short. And that turned out to be the best name we ever could have picked for him, see Ami means friend in French, and that he was. All the kids in the Neighborhood would drop what ever they were doing to play with Ami when they saw him walking down the street, and he loved it. He was always there at the door when anyone came home and to lend support and make you feel good. He was the best friend I have ever had. July 27, 1999, was the hardest day of my life, see we found out Ami had Cancer a few days before and that we had to put him to sleep, because he was in so much pain. I miss him more than anything in the world, and would give anything I have to get him back. Wherever he is, I want him to know I love and miss him with all my heart. I love you Ami, and I miss you so much!!!

Beloved aunt of Madhu, Chandra, Neela, Vimal and Kiran

To my Grandpa who was my best friend, I miss you so much, I wish you were here so that you could see how Jade has turned out. You were always there for me even when things I did turned out wrong and never judged me. I miss your kindness and advice but one day we will see each other again where-ever. Love you always,

I loved Zach but now I will never see him again.

Daddy, When things go wrong, as they sometime will, when the road we're truding seems all up hill. When the funds are low, and the debts are high, and we want to smile, but we've to sigh. When care is pressing us down a bit, Rest if you must, because we won't quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As A'ida and I have already learned. And many a failure turns about, When she might haded won had she stuck it out, We won't give up though the pace seems slow, We may suceed with another blow. You taught us sucess is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubts, and we can always tell how close you are, You be near when it seems so far, So we will stick to the fight when we're hardest hit, It's when things seem Worse, That we remember You saying Do Not Quit.
Renida & A'ida Talley

A loving husband to Loretta, a wonderful, giving father to Judy, Marilyn and Sandi, a grandfather, a great-grandfather who adored fishing and the outdoors, a brave WWII veteran and a great practical joker who got everybody...he never missed with a joke. we all miss him though he is in our hearts always. sorrow is not forever....love is.

In the shadows it crept,
Waiting for its chance,
Not giving a damn
for what is left behind,
It waits in silence,
For the lowest point,
The voice rings out....
It's time,

Blair was a wonderful man. With a laugh that was contagious and a smile that would warm your heart. His love for family was tremendious. His future was broad. A loss so great in the world today.....The world is at a loss. Blair, where ever you are I hope you are finally at peace. We will always remember you.

In Memory Of Our Beloved Darrel.
There is a place called memory,
Where we sometimes like to roam.
Through hills of love and laughter
A place we know as home.
A place that's free from all this pain
Where our hearts are light once more.
A place that lives forever,
Where life is, as it was before.
Our children live in memory.
They laugh and dance and sing.
Their lives are filled with a magic
That only Heaven can bring.
They feel no hurt or anger.
Their spirits are free as air.
And God's love will always protect them
In times when we aren't there.
Cherish this place called memory.
Feel the love that lives there.
Remember the joys, the warmth of the sun,
And the bond you will always share.
Smile at happy moments,
Laugh at times gone by.
Let the tears you cry be happy ones,
Know love will never die.
Have no fear of visiting,
the joy will outweigh the pain.
Learn to treasure memory
for there is much that you will gain.
And though life is not as it was before,
And never will be again.
Our memories are much richer,
Than if love had never been.
We Love and miss you Darrel Your Loving Family
Mom, Dad, Tonya, Jerica, and Adrian.

Even the blackbirds
hung their heads low
today,  the day
Faith died.

The night winds will whisper
her name, the stars will shine
softer, clearer, brighter

because her presence, as an angel
in the heavens, is just like
her short presence

in this world:
pure, untouched,

and ever so lovely.

Those of us that were graced
with her presence will never
forget her beauty, her strength,
her perfect heart-shaped lips,
her peach sweet skin,
her raven black hair…

or the true innocence
that left the earth with her.

In January of 1996, a very dear, and sweet little girl was taken away from the family and friends who loved and cherished her very much, as they still do even today. Words and tears cannot express the feelings of those who knew her and loved her. Grief cannot explain how very much they miss her even now. Kimberly was a very lively little girl who brightened the lives of everyone around her. Even though she's gone, she lives on in the hearts of those who loved her the most. Kimberly Rene Jaramillo is survived by her parents: Isaac & Tammy Jaramillo; Sister Megan Jaramillo; and Brothers-Jonathan and Marcus Jaramillo. She will be dearly missed by all those whose lives she touched. May she rest in peace with our Lord, and all those who have gone before us.

Your grandson misses you ... .

Daddy. You were the best father anyone could have. Always loving, always supportive, always interested and involved. I am so grateful to have had you, and so devastated to lose you now, and so quickly. I always thought of you every single day, and always will. I can't imagine life without you. It feels empty and sad. I love you. Ali xxx

Dad, no-one ever comes here to stay, but you, in your heart, always wanted to leave, to go to the stars, where you often had your eyes set. Your spiritual heart was broken long before the mundane organ gave out physically. We were always restless travellers together, and I miss your stride by my side now that we all have to go on without you. I miss you, I miss you. Your son, Michael.

Mary

She made me feel warm
I loved her pretty face
her beautyful smile
her sexy body
She was the toughest, braverst, sweetest person I've ever meet
I wish you would have left a note and/or told me goodbye.
I never got to say " Mary I've fallen in love w/ you . I will throw away my friendship w/ J. if we can be together."
You did and always will mean so much to me.
R.I.P
Forever in my heart

Norman was the best at everything he did.

He was a great father to his daughter Kim, grandfather to his grandsons Travis and Tee Jay, husband to his wife Karen, brother to his brothers Michael and Darrell, son to his mother Molly, uncle to his nephew Tyler, friend to many, and even a great daddy to his four legged children Chewy, Jasmine, Misty, Koala, Sasquatch, Grizley, and Ming.

May you travel the tides of eternity, Norm.
