You left behind so many people that loved you. If LOVE could have saved you...you would still be here with us.
We had more to do, son.

I miss you so much, just shared about you at Northside, our favorite meeting,and go hangout at your sober living house..gone but never forgotten a moment of silence for the addict still suffering and the ones taking their first and last use. Always in my heart. |
My brother - no matter what you and I will always be connected and I feel your presence sometimes in the most random places. I wish I could just talk to you one more time. I have so much I want to say, but also so much I need to hear from you. - I love you Jerod- always have and always will. I just wish you could be here to see how we've grown. |
My brother I will always love you. Please watch over us! - little sis |
My son Jerod, I raised on my own for many years. He was my baby. My heart breaks so many days from losing him. His final day in the hospital my daughter (his sister), my husband Dan were the only ones with him throughout his last minutes. I did not leave your side during the hardest sounds a mother would ever have to hear after they unplugged you. I suffer so many days with that memory. You were so good to me and I did not even realize you were in so much pain. Your friends let me know you had lost 5 friends in 3 weeks, but you would always try to hide your suffering from me and your addiction. You always wanted be at your best in front of me. You never wanted to hurt me and I know if you were here now, you would hate that it was still hurting me. I love you everyday. Now more than ever I can understand how lonely you must have felt in hiding all the hurt! Because I do that too! I never talk to people. I always try to mask my pain. Please forgive me for not being a better mother and being able to save your life. Forever Jerod's Mom |
For as long as I can remember,.. you've been a part of my life,.. I miss you more and more as days, months, years pass,.. I remember your voice, your laugh, and your wonderful singing voice.. lol just kidding! I wish I could call you,.. I wish we could speak.. I would tell you how sorry I am for not being stronger for you.. I would tell you how much I love your smile, and how often I think about watching you dance around in your underwear when we were 14... you were so goofy, and loved to make people laugh. God, I wish you were here.. I wish I could hug you, and tell you how sorry I am. I feel like I let you down when you needed me or someone the most. I carry around with me a lot of guilt,.. that I could've done more. I wish I could've heard my phone that night,.. if I could've just heard my phone I would've been there for you my friend. Jerod, I love you, you were my best friend,.. and I'm sorry. I miss you. |
Jerod,
I miss you bro. When times get tuff or I have a moment to sit back and reflect on life, you always cross my mind. I remember your laugh and the ridicules faces you would make. I can even still remember the sound of your voice. Sometimes when I drive through Balch Springs, I purposely pass your old house next to the power plant and it makes me smile. I cannot believe it has been almost five years, we were kids. To many things left unanswered, too much life to have lived. I wish that the world would have had the opportunity to meet the Jerod of today, I am sure that he would be an amazing man. I wish that I could have been the type of friend I am capable of being today back then. Sometimes I get caught up in the I wish or what if’s, just hoping to see my friend again one day. Love you like a brother.
You’re friend always

Thinking of you at this time |
miss you |
So sorry for the loss of your beloved son, I also lost mine. The pain is unbearable, nothing I have ever felt before. This makes no sense. Hope your son and mine are partying in heaven. They are angels now. |
love you jerod and miss you always! |
I wanted to be a guidance counselor when I graduated from college. I decided I'm going to be a Substance Abuse Counselor..My heart couldn't bear to lose another loved one. The pain is unbearable. |
This pain is unbearable..but I can only hope you feel no more pain. I love you and I always will. I have seen counselors to cover the pain and I am one year away from getting my master's degree and becoming a sustance abuse couselor..my heart couldn't take to lose another love that was as important and still is as you.
I love you. |
What a beautiful son he was. I am losing mine. I wish you peace. |
