Colleen F Jason - Online Memorial Website

On May 31, 2020 My dad joined my mom.  It has been really difficult to get into all this but it was time to get this done for daddy.  My mom and dad were soul mates.  They went through some very difficult times with each other and their kids.   Their love was an amazing site to see.   Every parent has their faults and my parents were far from perfect.  The thing that always counted for me was when I needed them the MOST they were there.  No matter what.  I love you Mom and Dad!!  You are so missed everyday!!

Mommy I know you are so proud of your grandbaby.   Here is my sweetie at the beautiful age of eight.  Going to her first gymnastics show.   I know you watch and applauded for her when she was showing off her skills.  

She is so smart.  Smarter than i ever was.  Please keep your arms around her and show her the way like you did me.  I was stubborn but i still remember what you taught and told me.  

As for a love that you always told me to go for that i thought i was never good enough for, we found each other again.   Thank you for that!!!   We see where we go from here.  

We love you so much!!!!   You are never forgotten!!!!  

Keep smiling and being my fun loving mommy.  Enjoy that "Screaming Demon rollercoaster"  LOL!!    Big hug and a bigger Thank you!!!

this poem reminded me of you mom and dad. 

written byNorma Clay McCoy

I was a lonely wanderer, searching for a place to belong, you came into my life and gave me love, a place to call home.

Home is where the heart is, it doesn't always have four walls. Sometimes it can be a park bench, a homeless shelter, no matter where we lay our heads we are together and love counts the most.

We had our trials in life, even a few brief spats and separations but you had my heart as no one ever before, we always made up and got back together, loving each other ever the more.

Now you are gone and I can’t be with you for awhile, my aching heart is killing me, I cannot smile. You became sick and wasted away, why oh why did you have to leave me all alone?

I wanted to go with you but I have to wait, wait till my name is called and I hope you come with Jesus to carry me away, this I wait for impatiently each and every day.


I love you mom and dad.   I know your love is eternal.  I know you will be together forever whether you are here or not mommy.  Thank you for watching over all of us.  Especially Olivia.  We needed her. 

As you know, your garden has changed quite a bit.  The China Berry trees behind the west side of the garden are about 25 feet tall now and give the garden shade all through our long tropical summer.  The China Berry trees are in full bloom right now, perfuming the morning and evening, while delicate pink and white petals snow in the spring breezes.  The Drake Elm at the south end is maturing with its long, graceful, arching branches which seem to reach out with cool, comforting embrace.  The Drake Elm is full of orchids for the summer.  The white  Crepe Myrtle at the north end is just leafing out, saving its energy for its spectacular, fragrant summer show.  Its beautiful cinnamon colored bark reminded us all winter that it was just resting. 

The China Berry Trees are wild and grow about 10 feet a year.  They were just seedlings when I started the garden.  I had to move two of the roses because their is just not enough sun.  However, wild daisies, settled in their place.  They bloomed at the end of February. They are beautiful red and yellow, known here as Indian Blanket. They were the first blooms after winter and were sorely welcomed by the lone hummingbird which did not fly south, choosing instead to spend the season by the garden.  I know you sent the daisies.  Thank you.

Birds love the garden.  We added a bird bath, since you loved birds.  Happy Spring. 

Hi Mommy!!!!  I miss you so much!!!!  Olivia is 18 months now and she is growing so fast.  She has a lot of mannerisms like you.  She is beautiful, happy, moody and so adorable.   I wish you were here.  I wish she had a chance to get to know you from you.  I know between daddy and me, we will make you alive to her.  I'm so blessed to have you and daddy as my parents.  I hope and pray I'm a good mommy to my sweet Olivia like you were to me. 

 

Smile big and an angel kiss to you!!!!!   You will never be forgotten ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    I love you!!!!!

 

Here is your little grandbaby picking her first pumpkin.  She wanted all of them.  Hehehehehe!!!

Through the rough, good and great times--I always wished for what you and daddy have.  Know that you are throughly loved even now.  You will never be forgotten and you will be missed till we see you again.  There are not enough words in any language to express how much we love you and how much you are so missed. 

hey mommy.  I was just remembering all the times we would talk in the car.  I always wanted to talk to you there because if i pissed you off you couldn't kill me right away or we would both crash.  Hehehe.    I loved our talks.  i remembered it because I have most of my important talks with Olivia in the car.  LOL!!  I can't seem to get out of the habit.  At least I know she has to listen to me like how I had to listen to you because there was no way i was jumping out of the car.    Thank you for all the advice.  I really miss talking with you.  So much is happening and changing.  I love you and if i didn't say it enough you were a great mommy to me.  we had our moments what parent and child doesn't but it was all worth it.  You were always there when I needed it the most.  THANK YOU!!!!  

 

Here is your grandbaby all happy in her very own buggy!! 

Singing to the radio in your VW bug!

Hi mommy.  Olivia is 8 months on Friday.  I can't believe how much she has grown.  I know that you are watching her everyday.  I just wish you were here.  I keep remembering everything you did and said.  i hope and pray i'm a good mom like you were.  you were always there for me when i needed you the most and that makes you the best mom in the world.  i love you so much!!  I miss you so much!!!!  I have so many questions and I want to talk to you. 

 

I am so glad you are not in pain anymore.  i'm just being selfish.  I was numb the first year.  olivia brought it home that I lost my mommy!!  I'm sorry that I caused you and daddy so much grief. 

 

I know you see her but I had to post this picture.  She is definitely your granddaughter!!!!
