age gap / LeeAnn Nicholson Eadler (like you don't know )
The age gap is shortening between us. I'm now only five years younger than you. Big diff than being nine years younger. It's weird to think that some day I may be older than you. I guess I need to not say "maybe"..but with my damn health, who the heck knows anymore. It really has to be weird for Dawn. She was always your little sister..now she's older than you. It's still just so difficult to accept that your gone. I talk about you all the time, not like just "remember when" stuff...but almost like you're still around. I took a big risk today and let Caitlyn wear your blue jean coat. It looked good on her and fit her pretty well, which is odd considering it fits me well also. I told her that she had to treat it with respect and not get it dirty or LOSE it! You wore it much of the time before you died.
Your birthday is quickly approaching..I'll be making your traditional "happy" cake:) The cemetery people probably detest me. I care NOT! You may be even get another beer..lol. Man, I miss you Jimmy. I see you in my contact list all the time. I've actually emailed you. I would love to get a reply (though I'd most likely be joining you if that happened!)
Anyway..things around here are chaotic. Money is tight...stress is high, too many of us seem to be falling apart at the seams (physically...and yeah, maybe even mentally. Mark is in so much pain all the time, I know mom is too..she just doesn't say anything about it. Plus her health is just crappy in general, always feeling bad. I'm also sorry to a Poor Mags just seems to be getting infection after infection..not to mention she was on somewhat of a falling/breaking spree last year. On a positive note she's graduating!! On your birthday of all days. She's have a BA . That's hard to believe also. I still see her as that cute little baby or annoying little 8 year old brat that use to harrass the hell out of Jon..hehe. Jonathan and Caitlyn are doing ok, as far as health. Caitlyn is just kind of out of control at school...out of control with her behavior period. Not sure what I need to do. Beth and Austin are doing ok...they really don't have the time to do anything but work though. Dawn and Scrott and the girls are doing well. Rosie and Larry, not so much. Larry's health is getting pretty poor. I hate to see that. Bubbles died and they have a new doggy now. I've only seen him once. I don't seem to see much of the Juerlings at all anymore..not even Beth or Maggot. I'm not a very likeable person anymore I guess. Makes me want you back here even more. As for anyone I missed..they're probably doing ok. I feel like crap much of the time. I need to have tests ran for autoimmune deficiancy (most likely a systematic lupus)...but one..I don't have the money for the tests, two..there's not really a treatment and even if there was...NO MONEY! So..I just take it day by day and the poor kiddos have to put up with my wild mood swings. Yay them! Oh yeah, I'm also sorry to say that Brutus is starting to fail. I know he's an old dog, but we love him. His ear is getting a little better but he's just wearing down. Unable to run around as much, limping around..maybe even having mini-siezures. None of us will handle losing him well at all...but mom and Mark will be devastated. I'm scared at how they're going to react. That's their baby now. They've projected much of their feelings of love for you on to him. It's going to be like losing you all over again. I'll write more later. I love you and miss you like crazy! Close

My Letter To You Jimmy / Tami Cox (The One Who Did Love Him )
I have visited you before but have not had the reaction as I did today. I guess looking at the album and remembering, often smiling and thinking "man you could drive people crazy sometimes". Always the life of the event, whatever it may have been. And yes, we were happy, huh? But even thou we were in our 20's, we were still kids that were going thru the motions of what we thought we were suppose to do in life - fall in love, marry, possibly children (which didn't come and I accept that as my fault) and growing "old" together (which didn't come either). I know we loved each other the best we knew how and i have 11 years of memories to prove it. And I hope that you took them along with you as well. When it was the beginning of the end of us, I can honestly say that I hated you for what was happening to us. The hatred turned to me being angry and then to sadness, being scared of what was to become of me without you. We both went on with our lives, but you were always there. Now I look back and can say, damn we did have alot of fun!!! I still like telling people how we met and how it all began. The drive-in and Blue Clay Falls. How I lost my ring and you told me you would go back to the drive-in to find it with your metal detector, by the way I need your phone number for when I find it!! SMOOOOTH!! And you did find it! How we both sat in my parents garage, crying, when you gave me my engagement ring. Being nervous and you eating, I think, 4 Big Macs and me 2, before telling my parents we were getting married. Burning the railroad tyes, by the curb, in Cambridge, and being sick days later because of the fumes! Thinking, after 3 months of marriage, that you were gonna be a daddy. Still not sure if you were excited or not about that. I think we were both alittle scared, huh. How you were soo proud of every diamond you put on my finger and every gift that you ever gave me. I still have my scrapbook with every card, note or piece of paper you ever gave me. As I've gotten older, I realize that life is way tooo short, why did we have to put all the extra dumb shit in between to make it that much shorter. I do miss you're late nite calls, but you still find you're way to me in my dreams, where you often visit. I was in love with you and I do miss you. And I will see you soon! XOXO Close
Today would have been your 44th b-day. It's weird how you're kinda stuck at 41..I'll be catching up to you soon! As tradition has it, I'm making you your favorite cake;) I love you and miss you. I hope you're having a wonderful birthday with all the other people we've loved and lost.
God Father / LeeAnn
You have two new God children to watch over up there with you. Please take care of them and let them know how much they were loved and wanted. Tell them I'm so sorry, so very sorry. Please help me figure out what to do now. Close
Still here..still missing you / LeeAnn
Soon it's going to be two years since you left us...it's still so surreal. You still had so much left to do.. so many things were left un-said. I have so much regret...it weighs me down like a lead coat. Not a moment passes that you aren't on my mind. Everything reminds me of you. When I see a guy with a cut off shirt or tats..or better yet, both.. I think of you. Whenever I hear crazy laughter..I think of you. When a new movie comes out that looks pretty cool..I think of you. Almost every song on the radio reminds me of you..whether it's Notorious B.I.G or the BeeGee's..it's all you. You're everywhere. I hope you know how much you're missed..how much you were loved; how much you are *still* loved. You're forever my big brother, even if I pass up the age that you lived...you'll still be my big bro. I still need you, I need you a lot. If at all possible, I hope you can still be here for me, for all of us. I love you Jimmy. See you soon. Close
Your Birthday! / Luz (Rosa's Mom) Oyola Today is your birthday and yet we feel the same. Another year without you; another year of pain. We've continued to celebrate you, in any way or form. But we just can not forget you, in our hearts we still mourn. You left us unexpectedly and we're lost in our despair. This horrendous pain we're feeling; we just can not compare. Our beautiful world keeps growing as it supposed to do, we don't know how it does it, continuing without you. Some say you're in heaven, others say you're fast alseep. All we have are your memories, that's all we have to keep. As we raise our glass of spirits, to make your birthday toast, We'll wish for your eternal blessing, to the most courageous host.
A brief moment of darkness was all that I knew, before Heaven's Gate came into my view. Loved ones and friends I had missed for many years, welcomed me with open arms and many happy tears. All the hurt, fear, and pain that I have ever known, is gone from my life, I am finally home. I gazed upon the Lord's sweet smiling face, and for the first time in my life I knew and felt His grace. I know that you miss me, but please dry your eyes. I will always be watching and loving you from my new home in the sky. A cool breeze on your face, a touch of light rain, I will send as a reminder that we will be united again. Life on earth is but one brief moment in time, I am finally home, Eternity is mine.
Autumn Gone / LeeAnn
This poem was written by a friend of mine, thank you Martin.
Autumn Gone
The golden Summers time has past and Autumns calm will soon be gone The time has come for partings grief with Winters breath I must move on I need the road benieth my feet the thrill of open trails I yearn for travel far and wide And wind within my sails A restless soul a wandering heart a need to find my home desire for a better place never more alone
Jimmy's friends.... / LeeAnn
I'd like to thank everyone that's made a point of stopping by and leaving messages. Jimmy loved (loves) you all and I know it would have meant a lot to him (and it probably does now!) to know that you think of him. It also means a lot to me, it helps to know that we're not alone in missing him. Next time you stop by, drop me a line with your email address. Love to you all. Peace, LeeAnn Close

Visiting Jim at Cemetery / Stephen Hudson (Family friend etc. )
Yesterday I stopped by to see where Jimmy was buried (as I wanted to know exactly where his gravesite was). When I discovered his tombstone/grave, it hit me hard as my brother died over 6 months ago and the first thought that came to mind was perhaps Jimmy and my brother Michael were having a talk etc. with each other in "Heaven". I don't really understand what happened to my brother and yet seeing Jimmy's grave and missing my brother Michael we all hurt for each other one way or another.
