David's website linked me here, and I'm so glad I got to read your account and tribute to your son James. I know you don't expect folks to have sufficient words for your journey, but being my sainted mother's only child, I sure can recognize a mother's love!! I'm sad from what I read. I'm encouraged by what I read. Mostly, I'm touched by what I read!! It is a reminder to me how much my sainted mother loves me! Thank you for sharing something so personal. Jimmy |

Three and one half weeks ago, a million years, a blink of an eye. He was young, in love, and going to propose on Christmas. His girlfriend is still not conscious from the accident that took my sons life. I was searching on line for scripture on grief, and found your site. It is a site that is my story too. Young sons, in their twenties, gone too soon. My son was dead at the scene, so we were only able to donate his corneas. He found Jesus in December of 2010. I don't know what you andi would do without the knowledge our sons were saved. Thank you for your website. I have found the words, "A new normal" to be scary but also inevitable. |

I read through his story because I was searching for Bible verses to comfort my sister. Her son was born 6 weeks early Wednesday 3-14 and is having problems with his digestion and apnea-he stops breathing and the doctors can't figure out why. This is her first child. She had problems conceiving and almost lost the baby a few times. Her baby shower was this past Sunday, we just keep hoping things would get better for her, but it seems to be problem after problem. My sister is pretty stubborn and I don't know her heart, but I don't think Jesus is her Savior. Please pray for them all- for salvation and healing. Please pray for me that God would give me wisdom and give me the right words to comfort them and minister to them. Their baby boy is so beautiful and precious. Oh Lord help us to trust you more. God bless you and thank you for sharing your son's story and the beautiful verses of comfort and hope we have in Jesus. |

We are rejoicing knowing he is with Jesus, pain free and with a healthy body. |

Ray and I lost our 19 year old son, Christian Oct. 26, 2011. It is a pain that only another parent whose lost a child could know. But this is not the end of the story. We know, as a strong believer in Christ, Christian is indeed with the Lord, safe and loved. We, as fellow believers can only look FORWARD to that awesome day when we will see him again in Heaven. Although the days are difficult, we are praising God that each day brings us one day closer to our glorious reunion with Christian! I wish you peace and pleasant memories as you wait for THAT day. |

A friend of mine lost her 4 month old grandson a few days ago, and I could think of nothing to say that would bring comfort. The scriptures you provided are perfect. I know that Nicholas is with Jesus and no longer suffers, and I know my friend appreciates seeing God's words of comfort. Thank you again, God bless you. |

It is evident that you have allowed God to speak to you through HIs Word, and I pray He will continue to heal your heart, as He guides you forward. Your son would be very proud of you for how you have turned your energies around for helping people as they also grieve the loss of their loved one. As God has poured out HIs love and encouragement on you, you have, in turn, poured that love back to others! |

I really needed this today. I lost my Mom to cancer 2 yrs ago (on July 4th) and today a dear friend from church lost her husband unexpectedly. Coming up on the anniversary of Mom's passing is hard enough, but then to watch my friend go through such a tragedy just adds to it. I'm so sorry for the loss of your son James; however, he must be very proud of a Mom like you, who is using this experience to help others who are grieving. The Lord has also used my experience of losing my Mom to help other people with their losses as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Perhaps we will meet in this life, but if not, I'll see you in heaven. :) |

I looked up "comforting Scripture in death" on google and your site came up. I am sorry for you loss but Praise be to God that you will see your son again. I was saved 4 years ago. All my old pals know I am saved but there has been no change for them. Well one of them passed away last week and they want me to pray at the service for him. I don't want to give the comforting message of everyone goes to Heaven, Becasue we know that Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father except through Him. I am praying that the Lord gives me the right words and opens hearts. I thank you for posting comforting scriptures on this page. The reason I am being soooo long winded is just to let you know that the Lord is still using James to further His kingdom. REminds me of Romans 8:28 " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." God bless you sister and THANK YOU AGAIN!!! In Christ, Meghan Faulkner |

I am so sorry for the loss of your son, James. You must be a stong woman to have endured these trials, I understand how grief can make you an emotional rollercoaster. I do not know you or your family but I appreciate the story you shared about James and you should not worry about him being forgotten, because as long as his story is out there then someone else has a chance to know him. I can't say that I know what you feel like to lose a child, but I do know how it feels to make the choice to donate a loved one's organs. I made the decision to donate my father's organs after his death. After attending the donor remembrance ceremony I decided to become more involved so now I am a volunteer with a local organ donation organization. I believe if I can help just one person become more aware of the importance of organ donation then I will have done something of importance with my life. |

I understand how she feels and also how you feel. My sons, Ryan and Brett died in a car accident 3 years ago. You would think that it would be easy to explain grief since I've been there! Not true. We all do it differently. There's no right or wrong. All I know that God will be with us every step of the way. I pray that you continue to update your site so others will be encouraged.

Name: Erin Email: e_somo@email.com From: Laurel, MD Signed on: 9/4/2009 6:17:00 AM Entry: I am very sorry for your loss. I also lost my son Matthew (17) to Brain Death on 4/1/08 after being struck by a car. Everything seemed so familiar when I read your story. This is something no family should have to go through. 1 year later my family are still in very bad shape, I dont think we will ever recover from this. The bad thing is even today Doctors and Nurses still have no clue to what to do with TBI cases. I honestly feel most TBI cases do not have to lead to Brain Death if the proper steps are taken,,, I feel to the hospital my son was sent saw him a potential organ doner and thats why they let him go Brain Dead..They could not ID him and could not contact us in his most crucial moments. For reasons I am still trying to figure out and understand why the on call surgeon made the decision not to take my son to the OR to relieve the cranail pressure building up in his head. 7 hours later he went Brain Dead. We finally were contacted and arrived to the hospital 1 hour too late... He was still on life support and I swear they were ready at that moment to disconnect him. If we did not get there when we did they would have done it themselves.. These hospital's really have no compassion. That same night we sent him to another hospital because I could not stand him being in there care any longer. And like your son The County, Police, The Law put's all the blame on him because he did not cross in a crosswalk and The driver also never once contacted us... Its amazing how easily these murdurers can go on with there lives believing it was not there fault... They live comfortably just because the law says so.. But no matter how you look at it these people contributed to the act that caused the accident. Shouldnt that make them partially at fault if not entirely? I mean they are still alive so who was more at fault? I am sorry if i am not making sense but like your family we know our son was a victim and did not get treated properly, His death could have been prevented. Again I am very sorry for your loss and hopefully in this unwanted journey you found some peace along the away as i am on that same road just a bit behind you... My Sympathies to you and your family, Erin |

Name: Brandy Combs Email: combsbrandy@excite.com Web Page: http://www.myspace.com/brandycombs From: Nashua, NH Signed on: 7/16/2009 5:36:00 PM Entry: Hello again, I last wrote in this guestbook in 2003. Your story had such an impact on me. At the time my son was two years old and we were stuck in a very abusive house. Your story gave me the strength to make sure my son and I were able to escape. I love him as much as you love your son too and couldn't imagine having to bury my son too because his father was so violent. Your loss makes me want to wail in agony for your loss. I now have another son and love him dearly too. These years have been extremely hard and there were many times i wished i could go to heaven right away instead of having to deal with this world but my sons and the love they have for me gives me strength. Also I see myself in your son so much that I realize what kind of turmoil might be left behind if I was taken away. Thank you. The poem about not weeping at the graveside because i am not there was used for my youngest son's uncles' eulogy card so it was especially dear to see it here. I missed your sons birthday but even though i didn't know him he still lives in my heart. That a good person would have so many times where his life was almost forfeit surely means the Devil was afraid of the good your son brought to this world. He was a hero for Gods' word and truly inspired people to be closer to Him. Not many religious people can even come close because he genuinely believed in His most precious rule... love thy neighbor. I wish you didn't have to go through that pain. When Edmund died, my feelings were echoed exactly with yours. I understand the desire to wail and scream at the injustice and wish that it would bring that precious life back. Like maybe if I screamed loud enough he would mot be so completely broken that he was not able to work again, that the deep pain was now the only connection we had with him and maybe it could all be taken back. It has been nine years since your son has been gone and I can't imagine how these years have been. It has been five months and four days since he died at 4:45 am on valentines morning. I know his brother appreciates it too when we can talk about how wonderful it is that his nephew acts so much like him that we still get to keep him somehow. His birthday is coming up too and we will celebrate that too. This world is in sore need of beautiful people like your son and you are an amazing person to have brought such a wonderful gift to this world. It is horrible that his life was threatened so much and you still had to say goodbye. I share your anger and frustration with the injustice of it all. I am so glad he is in Heaven with our Lord. I am so happy he was saved. I look forward to meeting him in Heaven someday and hope my sons will be as wonderful as yours. He is remembered, the whole world should know what was taken from it and you have done just that. Nobody will love him as much as you but I want to let you know, when I first read your story and again now, I truly love him too. I truly feel his loss keenly and I truly, absolutely truely will never forget him. I have always and will always throw myself into danger if I see someone in peril. I would never want another parent or loved one to EVER feel this loss because I was too chicken to reach out and help. I don't want to dredge up these feelings that may have been healed some so I just want to end with... he is not forgotten and he did live. Happy birthday and the world will miss you James. You loved life so much and the gift of your life will never go away. |

We finally accepttheir death, but mourn his absence. Preceious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. God also say Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

I was in church CARE group with James and David during middle and high schools. This August I had a dream that James, who I had a crush on for much of high school, was looking for me. The next day I did an internet search, expecting to find pages and pages of his musical accomplishments. Instead, I found a memorial site. Since then, God has reawakened my own songwriting dreams, and I've written many songs in the past few months. This one is for you: "Sometimes I Wonder" Verse 1 Sometimes I wonder if You're really there. I search for You in times of trouble and You are hard to find Sometimes I wonder if You really care. I fall away; my faith is shaken and I cannot see Your light Chorus 1 To find my way to You, oh Lord, Through the valley, through the night, Through the days of my life. You are my hope; You are my strength. And it's You who walks beside, Who holds me up through the darkest night. Verse 2 The times I wonder if You hear my prayer, When my heart cries out to You for mercy And I don't know what to do, Are times I wonder why I despair, For there's never been a time that I was doubting That You did not come through! Chorus 2 Teach me Your ways. Lead me, oh Lord. Even when my heart is doubting Does Your faithfulness shine through. I trust in You, I trust in You. You will always walk beside me Though the darkness clouds my view, I'll trust in You. Love the blog, and I couldn't agree with you more. Jodi |

Name: Kevin Johnson Email: kshine423@yahoo.com From: Baltimore, MD Signed on: 1/19/2008 6:24:00 AM Entry: I had tears in my eyes as I read this heartbraking story of the loss of your dear son James. I know some time has passed since the accident. But as a survivor of losing a loved one, I know that time doesn't erase the pain or fill the void. Yet, keep those beautiful memories forever in your heart and talk about the good times as often as possible. Count each moment, not as one away from James, but one moment closer to being with him again. For the Bible calls death an "enemy", and God promises that he will bring it "to nothing".(1 Corinthians 15:26) This promise of God will do away with death and the pain it causes. It is my sincere hope and prayer that this will comfort your hearts. |

I was a close friend of James and sadly I lost touch with him. To find this out now so many years later sickens me. I feel a guilt that I'm not sure others would understand and it took me 10 days to actually read it. It is so beautiful. I cried horribly, but I also laughed. I remember all his stories about escaping death. I guess I thought he would outlive us all. He was such a caring person and I am absolutely positive he is still smiling down because his organs helped others. What a generous and wonderful thought. Talisha |

It is impossible for a mother to express in words all the emotions involved in carrying and birthing a child. We who share these special tears, know that there is absolutely no way to express what we feel when they die. I am grateful that the cries from our hurting souls are heard by a God that understands our hurt. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you painfully relive James'journey to Heaven. I pray that though the memory be so unbearable, the joy of knowing James is in Glory and awaits for you there continue to fill you with our Lord's blessed peace and hope. |

Name: Sherry Email: Robnsherry@justiceforjanelle.com Web Page: http://Justiceforjanelle.com From: Linden, MI Signed on: 3/25/2007 4:49:00 PM Entry: My name is Sherry. My only child, Janelle Ann Marie Durk age 15 was killed on July 6, 2006. The accident occured on July 5, 2006 at 11:28 pm on Interstae 70 in Clark County, Illinois. We were driving back to Michigan from a family reunion in Kansas. She was killed because of a intoxicated and fatigue driver who had fallen asleep about a mile up the road. We came to a safe stop when we were rearended by antoher semi. He hit the corner of our car, pushing us into a ditch. If it weren't for the driver doing that, we would have been pushed up under another semi that was stopped directly in front of us. Sometimes, I wish that he would have just hit us, rather then swerve. If he would have done this, I probably wouldn't be here emailing you and I wouldn't have to live with this everyday. We don't know why the driver that hit us was unable to stop, as he to died in the accident. I came upon your website, not sure how but I did. I want you to know how sorry I am. We too have created a website, Justiceforjanelle.com in trying to find a way to prevent other tragedies. I just want you to know how sorry I am and that my heart goes out to you and your family. May God keep you safe and forever in his care. God Bless. Sherry |

I am sure a great guy like James is resting in peace. He would surely have made the lives of many people on earth happier but maybe God had his own reasons which we can't understand.

I am so glad that you shared your pain, doubts, and range of emotions that you experienced and experience. The loss of a child is one that I cannot imagine, and do not ever want to imagine. I don't think that we ever get over loss. We move on, eventually, though the night may seem like an eternity, but I think that loss indeniably and inevitably changes us forever. To say that it doesn't is to diminish the person's very existence. There will always be a void. |

I have been a Garland police officer for about 15 years. 8 of those were spent in automobile accident reconstruction. I have made several painful death notifications in the middle of the night to unsuspecting parents and relatives. I can remember every one. Thanks for sharing your story. Ironically, it seems a lot of people visiting your website have already experienced the loss of a loved-one, particularly a child. It seems that it's all the others that need to read your experience so that they will value the little things in parent-child relationships. Too much is taken for granted. God bless. |

It was Dec 9th, the day before my birthday. He was on his way to work and hit a patch of ice. He slid across the bridge and was hit by a tractor trailer. He was killed instantly. So much of what you write is how I am feeling. We just had his first birthday without him on Oct 11th. The 1st anniversary of his accident is coming soon and I am in a panic. Even though I know he is already gone, I feel like I only have a few weeks left. A few weeks before I relive that horrible nightmare from a year ago. I said a prayer for you today. You have been an encouragement to me. Thank You Mary |

Death is apart of our lives but somehow it always feels unnatural when we experience it. I hope that you and your family will be able to help one another to cope with James' death with the help of God's word. John 5:28,29 promises that in the near future Jesus will call all of our dead loved ones out of the grave to life back to us. In the meantime our prayers are with you all. |

I too have a son (only 6) and a daughter and cannot imagine the pain you have gone through the past several years. I only want to say that I think what you have done to help others with this site is amazing. There have been countless teenagers in our area(and everywhere) dying in car accidents. I'm sure their parents are feeling everything that you have felt over the years. I feel now after reading your story God can use me to help if I ever meet them. I will send them to your site for inspiration. I will never again forget the birhtday or holiday of someone who has passed and not let someone know I am thinking about them on that special day. I think when you haven't been through this you are so afraid it will hurt the person's feelings and bring up unhappy memories but I can see now how important it is to le people know you remember. Thank you for that and God Bless you. I know you will someday see your Son James again. My heart goes out to you and your family for living through the worst thing to ever happend to a mother and father. |

Name: crystal frye Email: clf495@ktis.net Web Page: http://none From: hermann, mo Signed on: 7/31/2005 Entry: I lost my father, 46 years old, in early april of this year due to injuries he suffered when a tractor trailer didn't see his car and made a left turn; they collided head on at 859 am. I was contacted by the hospital he had been flown to a little before 100 pm. By the time I had gathered items for my 5 month old son and made the hour and a half trip to the hospital, it was around 300 and no one would tell me anything. I held my infant son and prayed as I paced that little room. I said to myself "it's okay Dad If you're in pain you can let go Don't hold on just for me I have a man to take care of me now" and I kissed my son. Then I heard the words that had just come out of my mouth and wanted to take them back. Then I heard an announcement over the intercom.... something about a death and rest in peace. They announce when someone dies? I thought that was a strange new practice, but later learned they were announcing the Pope's death. Shortly thereafter, I went to meet the surgeons. The chaplain had informed me that after asking the first surgeon how he was doing, he had told her he was doing okay about an hour prior to this. So I thought it wasn't life threatening if he was " ok" I was shocked when the surgeon said he didn't make it. My father and not making it didn't belong in the same category. I had forgotten about telling Dad not to suffer, that I had my son to take care of me until about a month or so after the funeral. I felt burdened and guilty about that. I also was somewhat shamed that I didn't see his body at the hospital, and wanted a closed casket at the funeral. I was in denial and didn't want to have that image in my head. Months later, I was wishing I had. I want to thaank you for creating this site because it has helped me so much. I am crying, but not for myself, for your family. I wish words could ease the pain; both yours and mine. I was wondering if you took any legal action against the trucking company and if so what was the outcome? I don't want to be nosy, but I don't know if I am making the right decisions. I am a 26 year old single mother with very little moral support and could use some advice. God Bless, Crystal Frye |

Name: Michael Akers Email: michaelakers@excite.com Web Page: http://www.zizzeradio.com From: Oceanside, CA Signed on: 8/31/2006 Entry: I'm writing again about a year and a half from the last time I posted here. I found this site one day while looking for family members on the Moody side. I'm not sure how I got to this site back then or what lead me here but it has been a blessing to be able to visit from time to time. Anyhow, I mentioned before, in my first post, that I had two friends that were taken in tragic accidents as your son was. I had said back then that in a way I knew how you felt but I know now that I realy had no idea the emptiness and chaos that was instantly stabbed into your life. I know now how cliche' my statement was. Losing a son is incompareable to someone losing friends that weren't flesh and blood. Since my last post I can unfortunately say that I now know your feeling of vast emptiness and uncontrolable sorrow. My family and I have experienced a loss that, I believe is compareable to yours. I lost my father last year prematurely. My dad died because of a doctor's irresponsibility. My father was given multiple prescriptions of morphine that were extremely powerful 10mlg time release pills. He was had never taken morphine before and was use to taking Hydrocodone for his unbearable arthritous in his shoulders. Why he was given morphine I'll never know. I have given morphine to friends that were dismembered in combat to help them basically slip peacefully into death. For the life of me I'll never understand why his doctor prescribed him medication of that caliber. Because dad was used to taking the hydrocodone, which isn't a time release pill, he took the morphine as if he was taking the hydrocodone and simply overdosed. Because the morphine was time release he took more than he was supposed to thinking the medication wasn't working. Hydrocodone hits in about 30 minutes the morphine takes about an hour or so. So he took more morphine pills because he thought it wasn't working as the hydrocodone did. I'm rambling. I just want to say that I am sorry for my niavety before and unfortunately now I truely know what emptiness feels like. Thank you for this site. It has realy helped me think and cope with the loss of my dad. |

He sounds like such a great guy. I also recently lost my daughter. She was 49 days old. She was born with 3 heart defects(that we knew nothing about) until she was born on July 8,2005. She went threw surgery and all but we believe that she had some type of infection. They continued to do all kind of cultures to see where the infection was but all cultures came back Negative. I am still waiting on the autopsy, they said it would take around a month. So I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am. Your story inspired me that maybe one day I will not cry all the time and I will be able to start living again and for this I say THANK YOU! |

Name: susan erb Email: bskt1999@aol.com From: bloomsburg, pa Signed on: 9/29/2004 Entry: Thank You for this site....I just lost my sister and Aunt on Friday August 13, 2004. They were coming home from visiting relatives in Missori when they were stopped in traffic due to road construction they were they last car in line when a tractor trailor came from behind at 70mph and slammed them forward into 7 other cars. 2 were seriously injured they were the only two deaths.My heart aches so much for she was not just a sister but my best friend and how my father aches for she lived with him since my mother had died 10 years ago from breast cancer and july 15,2004 he buried his father and a month later buried his Daughter at age 34 and his sister-in-law age 64. We miss them so much,the only thing getting us through is knowing they are in Heaven for they both were Christians.And the good Lord above is getting us through each daynot to mention some of the beautiful gospel hymns that I listen too from the Gaithers. Thank You for the web site and may God truly bless you and your family,and use your website for reaching out to those of us with such tragic,accidents. You know it is so different when you know someone is dying like when my mom did because she was in such pain with her cancer and she battled it for 9 years so we had time to process and let her go because we got to say all the things we needed too for closer but when a loved on is taken so tragic we had no last goodbyes and this accident did not have to happened if the driver was paying attention he did not heed the construction signs whatsoeverand of course he too was uninjured. But I know I have to let God deal with Mr.Lester Jackson frome sunbury,ohio. It would be nice though for some sort of an apology, but I know it is early yet and am sure he is being advise to say nothing and someday when this is settled i will becalling him just to let him know who my sister was and My Aunt audrey. God BLESS YOU ALL...I LOVE YOU SIS AND MISS YOU MUCH. |

He is trying to re-learn how to walk and talk again. He has trouble moving the left side of his body because of the injury.

Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us. I lost my 21 year old grandson on December 21, 2003 and had lost a 5 year old grandson on June 25, 1997. We are living the nightmare once again. My daughter does not understand why she had to lose two of her four children and I have no answers for her. I just trust in God for my strength each day and she does, too. We will get past it and time does heal the hurt some. I can not wait to see my grandsons again. My Koby, who just died, was my first grandson and my Taylor was the last grandson. I have seven and I call them my Magnificent Seven. I just don't bother to explain that I only have five on earth since I feel them in my heart every day. God bless you and your family and thank you once again for helping me to heal by such a beautiful site. |

James was one of the nicest young men that I have ever met. He was a great friend to me during our 4 years at Lakeview, and even on a few occassions of seeing him after graduation he was just as nice and friendly as he was in school. I just registered on the Lakeview -Legacy Home Page, & I just read about his accident and I cried. I just could not believe what I was reading. I am very sorry for your loss. I wish I would have read about James when it happened, I would have gone to the funeral to give my sympathy. He was a great friend to all that knew him, and he is now an angel, and I know he is watching over you and your family. Once Again, I am very Sorry for the loss Amy Waugh Awau3@aol.com |

Name: Nedra M. Ellis Email: nedra_marie@Yahoo.com Signed on: 11/15/2003 Entry: You have my very deep and sincere sympathy in the homegoing of your precious son. I too lost my 43 year old son on July 16, 2001. My husband died when I was 29 years old leaving me with three small children to raise which I did very successfully. My son, the youngest of the three was an electrician by trade, married 13 years with two lovely children ages 10 and 6 years. He died peacefully in his sleep very unexpectedly. We miss him desperately because he was a good son, brother, husband and father. He neither drank or smoked and his wife was his childhood sweetheart. My one consolation with his death is that he accepted the Lord many years ago and was very dutiful to his church and devoted to his family. I am living my life so as to join him when God calls me home. I share your feelings because you will never stop loving your son and never will you forget such a horrible accident. My prayers are with you and your family. May the peace that only God can give be with you and your family. Very sincerely, Nedra Ellis |

Name: kristina Email: kristinaatsarashope@msn.com From: adelanto, ca Signed on: 7/11/2003 Entry: I came upon your website and was deeply touched. My 17 year old daughter was killed just 7 months ago on Dec. 5,2001. Sara was killed in a car accident due to the negligence of a father who allowed his unlicensed daughter to take the vehicle. He also had no insurance on his 2001 chevrolet blazer. The CHP states that they will not issue any citations to the father because they were on a private road. First of all, I don't think it matters where they were, it is against the law to allow unlicensed drivers to drive!! Second, I have found out through the county that this was a public road, owned by the county. I find it sick that the CHP is sending this kind of message to the public and to our children. It is dangerous for unlicensed drivers to drive and anbody permitting this should be held accountable for negligence. I will fight to the end to make sure that this type of negligence is not permitted. I wish you the best in life. I know our children our together now with "Our Lord In Heaven" and we will one day soon rejoice with them. My heart is broken forever with the loss of my daughter. She was my only daughter, my oldest child out of four. Sara was to graduate this year and would have been 18 on May 18th. It's a tadgedy that I would wish on no person. God Bless you and your family, Kristina Nolan |

Name: Carla Winn Email: sdcswinn@earthlink.net From: Muncie, IN Signed on: 7/8/2003 Entry: I learned of the poem when tomorrow starts without me when I opened my grandmas scrap book. She passed away on June 7th 2003. She lived in Tennessee and I in Indiana, so when the news hit that she was being taken to the hospital and the family needed to get there as soon as possible we had a long drive. Noone expected this to happen she was feeling fine. But her aorta had ruptured and she needed surgery. When we got there at 2am she had been in surgery since 10pm. At 4am they came out and said it did not look good they were having trouble repairing her aorta. My husband and I went to the chapel and prayed for her to make it out so I could tell her I loved her(I lived with her most of my life along with my sister and our cousin) I just wanted her to know I loved her and Kiss her. God came through for me. She came out of the surgery with very little hope. We had a lot of wittiness of God watching over us them few days. We learned a few days after her surgery that her brain stem was dead and there was no hope of her living without all the meds and breathing machine, so we all decided she would not want to live this way and we all gathered around her and let her go be with the lord. I was at my grandparents house on the forth of july and looking through the book and that poem just fell out. We just thought Grandma liked the poem, but after reading all about James I feel a connection with you. I am sorry for your loss. I to have lost a child when I was 19 and I know how hard this is. Please feel free to write to me. Carla |

Name: Pam Franklin Email: pamf@ckt.net From: Girard , KS Signed on: 6/2/2003 Entry: Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your son. I have 3 sons, but realizeI can not truly empathize with you on your loss. As no two people suffer in the same way. But the loss must be ever so great. Whether this was 4 years ago or somedays probably seems like yesterday. What brought me to your sight was that I put in for a search on the essay "To Remember Me". I saved this clipping from 1995. And have kept it in a drawer. Saturday, my girlfriends daughter was killed in an accident. I retrieved my article and wanted to send it to her. Your sight came up. I have enjoyed "getting to know your son James". He appears to have been a wonderful son, possibly much like my boys. Please realize though I don't even know you. My heart goes out to you and your family. And be assured July 4th and July 9th, I will say a prayer for James, you and your family. It doesn't seem fair that after a tradegy peope do draw close, but then life goes on and other thing muddle their lives or possibly they feel they might sadden you by bringing up your son. Your posting are a wonder tribute to your son. Sincerely, Pam Franklin |

My heart goes out to you. But your web pages in James's memory are quite wonderful, I am sure that he is so proud of what you have put together here. And how wonderful that he was an organ donor and helped give so many people life. I know that cannot replace him in your life, but it is something to hold onto nonetheless. love and hugs, Maria Christopher's mommy forever |

I have lost a child of my own, our tiny little angel, in April 2001. I also lost my only brother, Dustin, in March 2001 tragically. I think it is a wonderful thing to donate James' organs, a part of him lives in another human being. We also had to have a closed casket. I hate that we have to have sites like this. I think it is very important that we sign eachother's guestbooks to let us know that we are not facing this neverending battle alone. I wish peace for your broken heart, God Bless You! Love, Tasha |

I guess I'm not sure I have the words to explain how I feel. Reading about James, it sounds like he was an incredible person. I was crying when I read what happened. My husband used to be an over the road truck driver, he was always so careful driving his truck, deciding where to pull over, and so on. He knows how dangerous tractor trailers can be. And he has stopped to help at many accident scenes involving trucks and cars. We know a lot about how this happens. We are so sorry for your loss. I am glad I came across this webpage though, and got to read about James' life. God Bless. |

Name: magge Email: stelinda@one.net Web Page: http://www.geocities.com/magge1.geo From: Aurora, IN Signed on: 10/14/2001 Entry: Lisa, I am so sorry about James. His life was too short, he was too vital, too loved to be gone. I walk the path of pain with you and it is a long one, the price we pay for loving! The following is taken from Psalms of Lament, by Ann Weems, written after the death of her 21 year old son, Todd. A portion of Lament Psalm Nine: "I wrestle to hold onto the deep places of my inner being. My soul is in danger. Save me, O God, save me. Consider my weeping, O Holy One, be tenderhearted when you speak to me. Handle my bruised heart, with gentleness, for without you, I am nothing." ~ And Christ said, "Blessed are those who Mourn, for they Shall be comforted." Matt. 5:4.  |

Name: Louise Email: louise.bourner@bbc.co.uk Signed on: 9/5/2001 Entry: BBC Science is producing a 4 part landmark series about genetics. The opening film explores embryology, stem cells, therapeutic and reproductive cloning. These are sensitive documentaries to be broadcast on BBC2 and in the US early next year. These are not current affairs programmes but rather in the mould of The Human Body and Superhuman. One of the areas we are keen to explore is the implication of reproductive cloning for families who have lost a child. I would be very keen to talk to people who would, in principal, embrace these reproductive technologies should they prove reliable in the long-term to produce a later-born 'twin' of the child who died. I was very sorry to read about the loss of James and I do realise that I am entering highly sensitive territory. I do hope you understand why I am keen to talk to you and if you have ever considered the possibilities surrounding this science. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please do let me know if and when I can call. All the best Louise |

This is the most beautiful way of remembering him,he went through so much in his short life. I also lost my only child, Jennifer to a multi car accident. She was 26 and the love of my life. She was killed instantly. Seeing her mangled car and the pain she must have felt just tears my heart apart.She was hit by two cars one on either side of her. No one else died but my Jenny.It's been four years this past June 27 and it still feels like it just happened. I started a group site for Mother's who have lost their children and I would like to add James to our list of children. We will have a candle lighting on his birthday and anniversary of his death, if you don't mind. We want so badly to keep their memory alive. My tears are mixed with yours over the loss of our precious children. |

I'm so terribly sorry for all your pain and your loss. It's a heartwrenching story. The pain of losing someone close is always hard on your heart. Though different circumstances I lost my Aunt almost 1 yr. ago from a drunk driver and her family lives were altered forever from the severe injuries. At times life seems so unfair and you feel you'll never be able to move on but somehow through signs I see almost every day I somehow go on knowing she's here and she didn't forget. We will be with them one day again when our time comes. Until then we keep them alive in our memories and dreams. They are gone but will never be forgotten... |

I understand what you mean about the old you, I too see this in myself. Whether we have 24 years or 2 months, it is never long enough. May the multitudes of memories keep you. And try to remember with each passing day, there is a gap, but I picture the gap closing closer to the day that God will reunite me with my daughter. I look forward to getting older. My daughter Jillian was born premature 2-12-00 and died 4-5-00. My daughter was normal, just early, needed to gain weight, she contracted a staph infection that caused NEC, she suffered I pleaded with God, she waited until I could accept that her healing be on earth or in heaven,just as I prayed. I too, told her she could go, she would be healed. I'd see her again, I just didn't think it would be so long either...Hugs to you, Mom to an angel, you have created a wonderful site for James, Much love to get you through the 'moments' Nita |

I was looking for information about people I knew in high school, and although I did not know James that well, I did speak with him during band practice time and again. It came as a surprise to me that someone I went to high school with is already gone. I am sorry. I wish I could say more, but it is hard to believe how many lives each of us touches, even for a brief time. I remember James. |

Name: Tracy Grogan Email: tgrogan@adelphia.net From: Pittsburgh, PA Signed on: 6/9/2001 Entry: I stumbled on your web page reading a web page of a transplant recipient. I've been a transplant nurse (liver, small bowel, kidney and pancreas) since the early 80s. As we care for those waiting for and those who have recieved transplants we are always mindful of 2 families. The one waiting for or celebrating life after transplant and the one with compassion and selflessness during the worst time of their life. Reading about James, his life and family really brings the reality of transplant to center stage. James and his family are heros - not just to those who recieved organs from his mortal body, but to everyone who is waiting for or received a transplant and all of us who care for them. James (and his family) chose to give the gift of life to others as he journied on to a different world. There is no greater act of honor, love and compassion. |

We read the story from start to finish, with not a dry eye between us. From beginning to James's new beginning in heaven, his life story was amazing, his cheats with death throughout his short life and his ability to overcome everything that was thrown at him. What a very brave child who was nurtured by his family to turn into a very brave young man who cared for everyone. What an ultimate devestating shock it must have been for everyone concerned when you learned of this accident. We cannot imagine what you must have felt like or what you must be feeling even now. Our hearts go out to you and your family, for no-one should outlive their own children, its the cruelest cut anybody must endeavour. God Bless you all, and thank you so much for sharing this memorial with us. We have taken the liberty of bookmarking your site to put in a link to it from our site for others to read this very sad story. We hope we dont mind. |

Our little boy passed away almost 11 years ago and how true it is when we say we have buried a huge part of ourselves along with our children who have gone home to heaven. No one can understand this except for those of us who have loved and lost a child and our hearts. Thank you so much for Sharing your son with us. I will keep you and your family in my prayers...

James sounds like such a wonderful young man, and he was taken from us far too soon. He sounds a lot like my son Kevin, both wonderful young men who would do anything to help others. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I thank you so much for sharing James with me. Love, Martha, Kevin's mom |

Name: Christy Morrow Email: ChristieM24@aol.com From: Meridian, MS Signed on: 1/30/2001 Entry: I was "surfing the net" this morning because I was thinking of two dear friends of mine that were killed in a car wreck almost a year ago when I stumbled onto your site. It wasn't even really something I was looking for, but I was just drawn to it for some reason. I have gone over every page and just cried like a baby. From your descriptions of James, I feel like I might have even known him. My heart goes out to you in every way. I'm so relieved that you said each day was getting you further away from James, for when my friends died (Chris, 20 and Chad, 21) I felt like everyone thought the funeral should be the end. People thought I was crazy because I said I didn't WANT to stop hurting because that would feel like it was over, and I wasn't ready for that. Thank you so much for sharing your son with me today. With Love, Christy |

I know how those visual memories haunt our lives and although the pain eases some with time it never truly goes away. I want to say I am sorry for that unspeakable behavior of that nurse in the ICU ! It was unforgivable....!!!! It is nurses like that that perpetrate suffering for families like yourself and it should NEVER happen...I would very much like to find out more about the "underride" issue as I also work with trauma victims but the link didn't work and I couldn't get to the site. If you could let me know another way to enter it..I would be very appreciative and will do what ever I can to help make changes. |

Name: Daniel Martin Email: daniellmartin@worldnet.att.net From: Carlsbad, Ca Signed on: 12/14/2000 Entry: Your memorial to James is a wonderful tribute to him. My heart broke again, as it often does, reading about your son's accident, the touching and loving memories of his life. It has been a little over 5 years now since our daughter Megan Martin died in a car accident too. She also desired to be an organ donor and we tried very hard to see her wish a reality, but her internal injuries were so massive to her organs that the doctor's said she was not a donor candidate. They say that grown men shouldn't cry......but I don't believe that.....one will never get over losing a loved one.....so having a good cry when I feel like it cleanses my sole and renews my inner peace. I cry reading Megan's story each time and I cried again after reading about James. May God's grace and peace be always with you, Daniel |

Most of the victims could be saved for sure, if Government and Justice decide to protect the automobilists. It is a shame for Civilization that these crimes against simple safety precautions are not being considered, and Justice members are blind and insensible to our avoidable suffering.How is it possible that human Society members are being killed this way? |

James is a handsome young man that should be alive and in your life. I truely understand your pain, for we have lost our beloved child also. The following is taken from Psalms of Lament, by Ann Weems, written after the death of her 21 year old son, Todd. A portion of Lament Psalm Nine: "I wrestle to hold onto the deep places of my inner being. My soul is in danger. Save me, O God, save me. Consider my weeping, O Holy One, be tenderhearted when you speak to me. Handle my bruised heart, with gentleness, for without you, I am nothing." ~ And Christ said, "Blessed are those who Mourn, for they Shall be comforted." Matt. 5:4.  |

She died a year ago on March 11th. I still have my times that I grieve alone but, her dad and us all loved her. We have four sons and daughter-in-law's and 8 grandchildren to love too!

Name: Michael Daymude Email: attorney4u@earthlink.net From: Sherman Oaks, CA Signed on: 8/9/2000 Entry: Hi, Lisa and David. I just wanted to visit with James after reading your note telling me that you will be in LA next week. It is hard to think that on the 4th of July two years ago Manuel and I were havin' a good time in Yosemite with friends and you were in such agony. Then to realize that two weeks later Manuel would be dead and I would join you in agony. The pain is not so intense and not so frequent now. There is a wound that will never heal. But I hope we can learn to live with it just as persons with disability must learn to live with it. James' lives on through the lives of those he saved by giving his organs. What a wonderful tribute. I hope you will be able to meet all of the recipients some day and it will bring you a greater measure of peace. -- Michael |

Name: Rose Email: roseangl7@aol.com From: Livonia, Mi Signed on: 8/9/2000 Entry: Hi, I am in tears reading this web site. You son was so wonderful and handsome and what a tradgey. I lost my son Keith in 1998 to. He was 27 years old married with two beautiful children. When I read about James having nine lifes my eyes went to tears. My Keith was the same way....should have died in 15 car accidents and a drowning when he was a teenager. Then he dies walking across the street and gets hit by a car. I had to say this cause I can relate to alot of what you lived. I am a host in HA for the loss of adult children and I would love for you to join us. Sorry, this is the reason we met but I am happy to have seen your wonderful tribute to a great son. Blessings and Peace to you and your family. Love, Rose (Keiths Mom) |

Name: Yvette Herring Wong Email: whytree@hotmail.com From: San Antonio, TX Signed on: 7/10/2000 Entry: Dear Wier family: I linked to your page from the LCHS alumni page. I was reading through the memorials and noticed James' name. I graduated from Lakeview in 1988 and played in the band with James. Although we were never that close, I do remember him. I was the first recipient of the Amy Senato Memorial Scholarship, and the similarities between his accident and subsequent days in the hospital nearly mirror Amy's. How ironic that he was awarded her (and now THEIR) scholarship. Reading your web page brought back so many tough memories. Amy was one of my two best friends when she passed, and so, to some extent, although not near just enough, I have felt the same pain as you. Your site is so wonderful and a special tribute to a fine man. This is such a small world...and it is made more meaningful having known of such sweet spirits as Amy and James'. Sincerely, Yvette Herring Wong |

I was on the internet when I happened to run across your page, it touched my heart. I am not one to be very emotional but your story brought tears to my eyes, I want to send my deepest symathies. Just remember God takes care of you and, right now, James is looking down on you and watching over the entire family. Don't think of this as goodbye, think of it as an "I'll see you later" just like he said in your last conversation. When the time comes, you WILL see James again. Kristen Kirks |

My baby brother was killed in a car accident at the age of twenty-four December 3, 1995. I hope you don't mind me telling you this on your loved one's website. I miss him so very much. He was such a fun loving person, always smiling. I can see how much you miss your son. Thanks for allowing people like me to come into your heart. My heart goes out to you. |

Name: Deb Goldie-Ryder Email: goldie99@home.com Signed on: 4/12/2000 Entry: Dear Lisa, I know your agony and your struggle to get through the days as I have experienced the loss of my precious child also. When I read your before and after story,it is so like me. Your James sounds so similar to my Mike. They were both talented young men, both experienced close calls. I used to say that if I could get Mike to age 25, he would be OK. After Mike's death I so many times have thought that he was trying to prepare me for his death but nothing could do that. He was such an intelligent,talented and caring young man. He was just at the stage in his life when he was starting to make some really important decisions with regards to education, responsibility ect. I would give you a big hug if I could. This will have to do (((hugs))) I am trying to do a web site for Mike but as I am a rookie at this web stuff, my attempts so far are nothing like your beautiful site. However I am learning. Thats how I fill my days now. My love of gardening seems so unimportant to me now, as does everything else. I have a beautiful daughter age 11 and she keeps me going.I always thought she was my special gift as I was told I would never be pregnant again after Mike was born. She was so close to her brother and struggles every day too. My Mike was so against violence, it seems ironic that he would be the victim of a random stabbing. He did not know his attacker, nor did he see the knife coming. He was only attempting to break up a disturbance. The following insert is from one of my attempts at a memorial site. Michael Paul Goldie-Ryder "GOLDIE" TO HIS FRIENDS 03/09/1978 ~ 01/19/1999 My son Michael, age 20, was a victim of a random act of violence. He was stabbed on Jan. 16, 1999 and subsequently died in hospital on Jan. 19, 1999. He was a talented young man stolen from us in the prime of his life. He accomplished a great deal in his short life. His art, poetry and songs are a tribute to his many talents. It was only after Michael's death that I found out what a mentor he had been to so many friends and acquaintances. My Mike was always special to me but he was pretty special to so many others as well. We feel his spirit is with us but there is a great void in our lives without his human presence. After Michael's death, an organization called F.A.S.E. (Friends Against Senseless Endings) was formed. Their mission is to change the face of violence within the community through education, awareness and legislation changes. The F.A.S.E. group recently ran their second annual Goldie Ribbon campaign and are in the planning stages of a "Walk Against Violence" to be held in June in conjunction with a local school board. Michael is in our hearts every minute of every day and our lives have been changed forever. Knives have become the weapon of choice and if you carry a knife, its only a matter of time before you will use it. KNIVES DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. I have marked your site as one of my special site and will return to visit. Sincerely Deb |

Name: Kristina Phillips Email: kphillips From: Nashville, TN Signed on: 3/20/2000 Entry: I knew Jamie when I was ages 8 to 10, when he was called "Jamie" and I went by "Kristie." He was a year or two older than I, and my sister Michelle was about David's age. We played with them in the neighborhood near Toler Elementary. Jamie was, as the other contributors to this page testify, a real cutie, especially back then with his little spikey-on-top-but-longer-in-the-back haircut. He always had a sweet spirit about him, friendly to all the kids. We all rode bikes and played freeze tag in some neighborhood yard on countless hot summer evenings. I remember his talking about learning to play guitar back then. Though my family moved to Georgia when I was ten, I have kept in touch with a couple of my girlfriends from the old neighborhood. It was one of them who directed me to your lovely Memorial website today. Jamie obviously grew up to be a loving, compassionate, and caring individual, the seeds of which I remember seeing in him when we were children. Thank you for letting me know what a great person he turned out to be. I pray that the peace of Christ will continually give you comfort until you see him again. |

Name: Valerie Sanderson (Wier) Email: valerie.sanderson@mail.sprint.com From: Irving , TX Signed on: 1/31/2000 Entry: I knew James (Jamie) mostly as a little boy who was deeply loved by his family.I didn't see James much of his teenage years or early 20's.I remember him as a goodlooking kid with the love of music on his heart. The whole family just knew he was to be a great song writer/conductor.(taking after his father). All throughout the family we all described David Christopher (his older brother) as the one who was so smart, at 2 years old could carry out a conversation like an adult. And Shannon his his younger sister was like her mother. A sweet little girl who was definitely taken well care of by her two big brothers. But Jamie (James) was different. He had natural talents that expressed who he was through his music. We were given a raw deal when he left us to play for God. But then again I have learned so much more about the value of life and just knowing Jamie for the short time he was here, he has not only impacted our family but the lives of every mother and father who has children. His life and music lives on for ever. Thank you David and Lisa for bringing Jamie into our lives and by keeping Jamie alive by sharing with others who needed him to live. James is a great aset to this family. We love him and always will. I totally admire his parents David and Lisa for the brave hearts they have. I have seen them both grow from two young lovers,wild and free, loving music themselves into two wonderful loving parents who put there lives aside so that thier children could have every thing they had to give. I am proud to have them all in my family. |

I wanted to email you privately, but could not find your addy on any of your pages. I would like to invite you to visit my web site as I would be honored to add your beautiful angel to my Memorial Page. I am also a parent with a Child In Heaven. That is the reason I made the Mothers With Angels web site. It is a support site for grieving parents. (I should have called it Parents With Angels, but it is too late now) There is a Memorial Flower Garden, and I would be honored to place a flower (or a picture if you have one) of your child on this page. My web site is not all sad. There are humor pages, quotes, quips, religious materials, and even a java snake game to play. I have beautiful e-cards to send. Please stop by and let me know if you would like me to add your child to the Memorial Page. And always remember; "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure!" |

I can not relate to loosing a child. I can only imagine your pain. I lost my husband in January of 1996. He had received a lung transplant in 1992. I do not know who the donor was, but, I have thanked God for that person daily. Though he only lived a short time (almost 4 years) after being transplanted, he was able to attend the birth of two grandchildren, see his oldest son graduate. He treasured that time living life to the fullest. I commend your choice to donate your sons organs. I know you take comfort in knowing a part of him lives on in others. He memory lives on forever in your heart. Thank you for sharing that memory with others. |

As a recipient family (Lil received a kidney from Holly Lea Nelson in Feb. 1998. Holly's page is also on the Donor Mom's page), donors and donor families are very special people to us. We have become very close to Holly's family and the relationship has meant so much to all of us. I wish I was more articulate about the feelings I have on this subject but I just lack the words. Let's just say that we love them and Holly very much and think about and pray for them, and all donors and donor families everyday as well, that they know God's comfort and His peace. May God bless you too each day. Dave |

It's a wonderful place to visit whenever I think of James, which is more often than you could imagine, or when I need to be reminded of how short our time together on earth is, for many far shorter a time than is fair. But your words also remind us that we can look forward to being together again! James was truly a loving and lovable young man, just the way he is pictured in your words. He will never be forgotten because we cannot possibly forget those we love or those who have touched our lives so beautifully. And thanks to your graciousness, he lives on through others who never knew him on earth. What a testimony and beautiful tribute to this wonderful young man! |

God is sovereign and I know that James is looking down on your family from heaven saying Don't be sad for me I am with my Lord and Savior. May God richly bless your lives and others as he has already done by your decision to donate James's organs. This is a beautiful tribute to James. Keep looking to God for your strength and he will be there to comfort you. |

I did not find out about his passing until recently on the Lakeview alumni site. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I lost my uncle when I was 6 years old and he was only 18. He was 9 years younger than my Mom and was her best friend. To this day we still suffer from the loss. Now that I'm a mom, I can understand the horror you must have gone through and continue to struggle with daily, I saw my mom, and continue to see, how deeply my uncle's death has affected her. You have done such a wonderful job with this site. And you did a wonderful job with your son. I know you've heard this, but, as time passes, it will become, not easier, but, more accepted, if you can understand what I mean. It is truly wonderful how you allowed James to "live" by donating his organs. That, in itself, says a lot for you and your family. I wish that I could explain better how much your tribute to your son has touched me, but words can only get in the way and cannot truly describe what impact this has had on me. God bless you and your family. |

We need to accept their love and suport in whatever way they are able to give it. We unfortunately are now part of a large group of people who really know what it's all about.

His name is Jason Williams. He was born April 6, 1980 and called home to be with God on his 19th birthday, April 6, 1999. He died from brain death. due to injuries sustained in a single car accident on FM 1138, Neveda, Texas. He hit a cow in the road on his way to work at 4:45 am in the morning. He had graduated in 1998 from Community High School and was taking a year off from school. He had planned to attend college this fall. He was working as a manager at the McDonald's in Rockwall. He had began this job at 16 and had worked his way up to management. Other than paper routes when he was younger, this had been his only job. Jason was very intellegent. He had a photographic memory. The cow had gotten out because it's owner did not maintain the fence. Jason and I were very close. I was only 17 when he was born. He was my son, like a little brother, and my friend all in one. I miss him greatly. I have two other children, Kristin Williams (17) and Kerry Monk (9). I am a single mother. Finally, I know that someone really does know my pain, too. Thank you for listening. |

Name: Amber Anderson Email: andersonjones@mindspring.com From: Mesquite, TX Signed on: 9/2/1999 Entry: Mrs. Wier, I was fortunate enough to read your very personal story in the Dallas Morning News yesterday. I can not express enough sympathy for the loss of your son. I do not have any children, therefore, the pain that you have experienced is unimaginable to me. I wanted to let you know that your son is not forgotten. I never had the privilige of knowing your son but through you sharing his story I will be forever grateful. I am 22 years old and waiting for a kidney transplant. It is through people like you that allow me to live. And living is what I plan to do. I graduate from nursing school in December. I hope to care for those whom cannot care for themselves. Our lives are certainly in God's hands. But I truly beleive that he sends us all Angel's here on earth. Your son's life was cut short. But I know that he is an angel. He has helped others to live. I wish that I could take away your pain. But, I know I can't. I can only offer you my deepest gratitude for the decision you and your family, made in your most heart-wrenching time, to donate James' organs. So on behalf of all the recipients whom did not respond to you, I say thank you. May we considered our lives gifts and live it in away that glorifies God and our angel's whom wanted to live. May God bless you and yours. And I will not forget the precious memory of your son I never knew. Respectfully, Amber Anderson |

There are so many good things that could be said about James. He was one of the most caring, giving, loving, fun, vivacious, and brightest men that I have ever known. He was there for me during the most difficult time of my life. I love him dearly and I will miss him very much. |

We read the story from start to finish, with not a dry eye between us. From beginning to James's new beginning in heaven, his life story was amazing, his cheats with death throughout his short life and his ability to overcome everything that was thrown at him. What a very brave child who was nurtured by his family to turn into a very brave young man who cared for everyone. What an ultimate devestating shock it must have been for everyone concerned when you learned of this accident. We cannot imagine what you must have felt like or what you must be feeling even now. Our hearts go out to you and your family, for no-one should outlive their own children, its the cruelest cut anybody must endeavour. God Bless you all, and thank you so much for sharing this memorial with us. We have taken the liberty of bookmarking your site to put in a link to it from our site for others to read this very sad story. We hope we dont mind. |

Our little boy passed away almost 11 years ago and how true it is when we say we have buried a huge part of ourselves along with our children who have gone home to heaven. No one can understand this except for those of us who have loved and lost a child and our hearts. Thank you so much for Sharing your son with us. I will keep you and your family in my prayers...

It wasn't even really something I was looking for, but I was just drawn to it for some reason. I have gone over every page and just cried like a baby. From your descriptions of James, I feel like I might have even known him. My heart goes out to you in every way. I'm so relieved that you said each day was getting you further away from James, for when my friends died (Chris, 20 and Chad, 21) I felt like everyone thought the funeral should be the end. People thought I was crazy because I said I didn't WANT to stop hurting because that would feel like it was over, and I wasn't ready for that. Thank you so much for sharing your son with me today. With Love, Christy |

I know how those visual memories haunt our lives and although the pain eases some with time it never truly goes away. I want to say I am sorry for that unspeakable behavior of that nurse in the ICU ! It was unforgivable....!!!! It is nurses like that that perpetrate suffering for families like yourself and it should NEVER happen...I would very much like to find out more about the "underride" issue as I also work with trauma victims but the link didn't work and I couldn't get to the site. If you could let me know another way to enter it..I would be very appreciative and will do what ever I can to help make changes. |

Name: Daniel Martin Email: daniellmartin@worldnet.att.net From: Carlsbad, Ca Signed on: 12/14/2000 Entry: Your memorial to James is a wonderful tribute to him. My heart broke again, as it often does, reading about your son's accident, the touching and loving memories of his life. It has been a little over 5 years now since our daughter Megan Martin died in a car accident too. She also desired to be an organ donor and we tried very hard to see her wish a reality, but her internal injuries were so massive to her organs that the doctor's said she was not a donor candidate. They say that grown men shouldn't cry......but I don't believe that.....one will never get over losing a loved one.....so having a good cry when I feel like it cleanses my sole and renews my inner peace. I cry reading Megan's story each time and I cried again after reading about James. May God's grace and peace be always with you, Daniel |

Most of the victims could be saved for sure, if Government and Justice decide to protect the automobilists. It is a shame for Civilization that these crimes against simple safety precautions are not being considered, and Justice members are blind and insensible to our avoidable suffering.How is it possible that human Society members are being killed this way? |

James is a handsome young man that should be alive and in your life. I truely understand your pain, for we have lost our beloved child also. The following is taken from Psalms of Lament, by Ann Weems, written after the death of her 21 year old son, Todd. A portion of Lament Psalm Nine: "I wrestle to hold onto the deep places of my inner being. My soul is in danger. Save me, O God, save me. Consider my weeping, O Holy One, be tenderhearted when you speak to me. Handle my bruised heart, with gentleness, for without you, I am nothing." ~ And Christ said, "Blessed are those who Mourn, for they Shall be comforted." Matt. 5:4. |

I. too, just lost my MOther the year before my daughter died.We miss her terribly. You have done such a wonderful thing by donating your son's organs. We were unable to donate our daughter's as she died when her liver ruptured. I know she lives on in her children. Her daughter looks just like her.We love and miss her terribly. She died a year ago on March 11th. I still have my times that I grieve alone but, her dad and us all loved her. We have four sons and daughter-in-law's and 8 grandchildren to love too!

I just wanted to visit with James after reading your note telling me that you will be in LA next week. It is hard to think that on the 4th of July two years ago Manuel and I were havin' a good time in Yosemite with friends and you were in such agony. Then to realize that two weeks later Manuel would be dead and I would join you in agony. The pain is not so intense and not so frequent now. There is a wound that will never heal. But I hope we can learn to live with it just as persons with disability must learn to live with it. James' lives on through the lives of those he saved by giving his organs. What a wonderful tribute. I hope you will be able to meet all of the recipients some day and it will bring you a greater measure of peace. -- Michael |

I lost my son Keith in 1998 to. He was 27 years old married with two beautiful children. When I read about James having nine lifes my eyes went to tears. My Keith was the same way....should have died in 15 car accidents and a drowning when he was a teenager. Then he dies walking across the street and gets hit by a car. I had to say this cause I can relate to alot of what you lived. I am a host in HA for the loss of adult children and I would love for you to join us. Sorry, this is the reason we met but I am happy to have seen your wonderful tribute to a great son. Blessings and Peace to you and your family. Love, Rose (Keiths Mom) |

Name: Yvette Herring Wong Email: whytree@hotmail.com From: San Antonio, TX Signed on: 7/10/2000 Entry: Dear Wier family: I linked to your page from the LCHS alumni page. I was reading through the memorials and noticed James' name. I graduated from Lakeview in 1988 and played in the band with James. Although we were never that close, I do remember him. I was the first recipient of the Amy Senato Memorial Scholarship, and the similarities between his accident and subsequent days in the hospital nearly mirror Amy's. How ironic that he was awarded her (and now THEIR) scholarship. Reading your web page brought back so many tough memories. Amy was one of my two best friends when she passed, and so, to some extent, although not near just enough, I have felt the same pain as you. Your site is so wonderful and a special tribute to a fine man. This is such a small world...and it is made more meaningful having known of such sweet spirits as Amy and James'. Sincerely, Yvette Herring Wong |

A very powerful labor of love. I cannot imagine the loss you have suffered. I look at my only child, eight year old Sarah, and know it is not possible to imagine. As a bilateral lung recipient, I was very moved by your meeting the recipient of one kidney and the liver. I hope one day to meet my donor family. Love and prayers, Kathryn |

Just remember God takes care of you and, right now, James is looking down on you and watching over the entire family. Don't think of this as goodbye, think of it as an "I'll see you later" just like he said in your last conversation. When the time comes, you WILL see James again. Kristen Kirks |

You see, Delaine and I have both lost someone close to us in a car accident. I see you lost your loved one at an early age, also. My baby brother was killed in a car accident at the age of twenty-four December 3, 1995. I hope you don't mind me telling you this on your loved one's website. I miss him so very much. He was such a fun loving person, always smiling. I can see how much you miss your son. Thanks for allowing people like me to come into your heart. My heart goes out to you. |

Name: Deb Goldie-Ryder Email: goldie99@home.com Signed on: 4/12/2000 Entry: Dear Lisa, I know your agony and your struggle to get through the days as I have experienced the loss of my precious child also. When I read your before and after story,it is so like me. Your James sounds so similar to my Mike. They were both talented young men, both experienced close calls. I used to say that if I could get Mike to age 25, he would be OK. After Mike's death I so many times have thought that he was trying to prepare me for his death but nothing could do that. He was such an intelligent,talented and caring young man. He was just at the stage in his life when he was starting to make some really important decisions with regards to education, responsibility ect. I would give you a big hug if I could. This will have to do (((hugs))) I am trying to do a web site for Mike but as I am a rookie at this web stuff, my attempts so far are nothing like your beautiful site. However I am learning. Thats how I fill my days now. My love of gardening seems so unimportant to me now, as does everything else. I have a beautiful daughter age 11 and she keeps me going.I always thought she was my special gift as I was told I would never be pregnant again after Mike was born. She was so close to her brother and struggles every day too. My Mike was so against violence, it seems ironic that he would be the victim of a random stabbing. He did not know his attacker, nor did he see the knife coming. He was only attempting to break up a disturbance. The following insert is from one of my attempts at a memorial site. Michael Paul Goldie-Ryder "GOLDIE" TO HIS FRIENDS 03/09/1978 ~ 01/19/1999 My son Michael, age 20, was a victim of a random act of violence. He was stabbed on Jan. 16, 1999 and subsequently died in hospital on Jan. 19, 1999. He was a talented young man stolen from us in the prime of his life. He accomplished a great deal in his short life. His art, poetry and songs are a tribute to his many talents. It was only after Michael's death that I found out what a mentor he had been to so many friends and acquaintances. My Mike was always special to me but he was pretty special to so many others as well. We feel his spirit is with us but there is a great void in our lives without his human presence. After Michael's death, an organization called F.A.S.E. (Friends Against Senseless Endings) was formed. Their mission is to change the face of violence within the community through education, awareness and legislation changes. The F.A.S.E. group recently ran their second annual Goldie Ribbon campaign and are in the planning stages of a "Walk Against Violence" to be held in June in conjunction with a local school board. Michael is in our hearts every minute of every day and our lives have been changed forever. Knives have become the weapon of choice and if you carry a knife, its only a matter of time before you will use it. KNIVES DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. I have marked your site as one of my special site and will return to visit. Sincerely Deb |

Name: Kristina Phillips Email: kphillips From: Nashville, TN Signed on: 3/20/2000 Entry: I knew Jamie when I was ages 8 to 10, when he was called "Jamie" and I went by "Kristie." He was a year or two older than I, and my sister Michelle was about David's age. We played with them in the neighborhood near Toler Elementary. Jamie was, as the other contributors to this page testify, a real cutie, especially back then with his little spikey-on-top-but-longer-in-the-back haircut. He always had a sweet spirit about him, friendly to all the kids. We all rode bikes and played freeze tag in some neighborhood yard on countless hot summer evenings. I remember his talking about learning to play guitar back then. Though my family moved to Georgia when I was ten, I have kept in touch with a couple of my girlfriends from the old neighborhood. It was one of them who directed me to your lovely Memorial website today. Jamie obviously grew up to be a loving, compassionate, and caring individual, the seeds of which I remember seeing in him when we were children. Thank you for letting me know what a great person he turned out to be. I pray that the peace of Christ will continually give you comfort until you see him again. |

Name: Valerie Sanderson (Wier) Email: valerie.sanderson@mail.sprint.com From: Irving , TX Signed on: 1/31/2000 Entry: I knew James (Jamie) mostly as a little boy who was deeply loved by his family.I didn't see James much of his teenage years or early 20's.I remember him as a goodlooking kid with the love of music on his heart. The whole family just knew he was to be a great song writer/conductor.(taking after his father). All throughout the family we all described David Christopher (his older brother) as the one who was so smart, at 2 years old could carry out a conversation like an adult. And Shannon his his younger sister was like her mother. A sweet little girl who was definitely taken well care of by her two big brothers. But Jamie (James) was different. He had natural talents that expressed who he was through his music. We were given a raw deal when he left us to play for God. But then again I have learned so much more about the value of life and just knowing Jamie for the short time he was here, he has not only impacted our family but the lives of every mother and father who has children. His life and music lives on for ever. Thank you David and Lisa for bringing Jamie into our lives and by keeping Jamie alive by sharing with others who needed him to live. James is a great aset to this family. We love him and always will. I totally admire his parents David and Lisa for the brave hearts they have. I have seen them both grow from two young lovers,wild and free, loving music themselves into two wonderful loving parents who put there lives aside so that thier children could have every thing they had to give. I am proud to have them all in my family. |

I wanted to email you privately, but could not find your addy on any of your pages. I would like to invite you to visit my web site as I would be honored to add your beautiful angel to my Memorial Page. I am also a parent with a Child In Heaven. That is the reason I made the Mothers With Angels web site. It is a support site for grieving parents. (I should have called it Parents With Angels, but it is too late now) There is a Memorial Flower Garden, and I would be honored to place a flower (or a picture if you have one) of your child on this page. My web site is not all sad. There are humor pages, quotes, quips, religious materials, and even a java snake game to play. I have beautiful e-cards to send. Please stop by and let me know if you would like me to add your child to the Memorial Page. And always remember; "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure!" |

I can not relate to loosing a child. I can only imagine your pain. I lost my husband in January of 1996. He had received a lung transplant in 1992. I do not know who the donor was, but, I have thanked God for that person daily. Though he only lived a short time (almost 4 years) after being transplanted, he was able to attend the birth of two grandchildren, see his oldest son graduate. He treasured that time living life to the fullest. I commend your choice to donate your sons organs. I know you take comfort in knowing a part of him lives on in others. He memory lives on forever in your heart. Thank you for sharing that memory with others. |

As a recipient family (Lil received a kidney from Holly Lea Nelson in Feb. 1998. Holly's page is also on the Donor Mom's page), donors and donor families are very special people to us. We have become very close to Holly's family and the relationship has meant so much to all of us. I wish I was more articulate about the feelings I have on this subject but I just lack the words. Let's just say that we love them and Holly very much and think about and pray for them, and all donors and donor families everyday as well, that they know God's comfort and His peace. May God bless you too each day. Dave |

It's a wonderful place to visit whenever I think of James, which is more often than you could imagine, or when I need to be reminded of how short our time together on earth is, for many far shorter a time than is fair. But your words also remind us that we can look forward to being together again! James was truly a loving and lovable young man, just the way he is pictured in your words. He will never be forgotten because we cannot possibly forget those we love or those who have touched our lives so beautifully. And thanks to your graciousness, he lives on through others who never knew him on earth. What a testimony and beautiful tribute to this wonderful young man! |

God is sovereign and I know that James is looking down on your family from heaven saying Don't be sad for me I am with my Lord and Savior. May God richly bless your lives and others as he has already done by your decision to donate James's organs. This is a beautiful tribute to James. Keep looking to God for your strength and he will be there to comfort you. |

I did not find out about his passing until recently on the Lakeview alumni site. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I lost my uncle when I was 6 years old and he was only 18. He was 9 years younger than my Mom and was her best friend. To this day we still suffer from the loss. Now that I'm a mom, I can understand the horror you must have gone through and continue to struggle with daily, I saw my mom, and continue to see, how deeply my uncle's death has affected her. You have done such a wonderful job with this site. And you did a wonderful job with your son. I know you've heard this, but, as time passes, it will become, not easier, but, more accepted, if you can understand what I mean. It is truly wonderful how you allowed James to "live" by donating his organs. That, in itself, says a lot for you and your family. I wish that I could explain better how much your tribute to your son has touched me, but words can only get in the way and cannot truly describe what impact this has had on me. God bless you and your family. |

Thank you for visiting Jason and sharing your feelings with us. Yes it's hard to believe and for us, it's been two years and it's still yesterday, and always will be. Our hearts go out to you and your family as well. Our friends and family, no matter how well meaning, really don't have a clue, not that we would want them to. We need to accept their love and suport in whatever way they are able to give it. We unfortunately are now part of a large group of people who really know what it's all about. We also need to share with compassionate friends, like yourself. Having access to the Internet, has done much for us in knowing that we are NOT ALONE and that through our tireless efforts, our boys, Jason and James will NEVER be forgotten. God Bless you.

His name is Jason Williams. He was born April 6, 1980 and called home to be with God on his 19th birthday, April 6, 1999. He died from brain death. due to injuries sustained in a single car accident on FM 1138, Neveda, Texas. He hit a cow in the road on his way to work at 4:45 am in the morning. He had graduated in 1998 from Community High School and was taking a year off from school. He had planned to attend college this fall. He was working as a manager at the McDonald's in Rockwall. He had began this job at 16 and had worked his way up to management. Other than paper routes when he was younger, this had been his only job. Jason was very intellegent. He had a photographic memory. The cow had gotten out because it's owner did not maintain the fence. Jason and I were very close. I was only 17 when he was born. He was my son, like a little brother, and my friend all in one. I miss him greatly. I have two other children, Kristin Williams (17) and Kerry Monk (9). I am a single mother. Finally, I know that someone really does know my pain, too. Thank you for listening. |

Name: Amber Anderson Email: andersonjones@mindspring.com From: Mesquite, TX Signed on: 9/2/1999 Entry: Mrs. Wier, I was fortunate enough to read your very personal story in the Dallas Morning News yesterday. I can not express enough sympathy for the loss of your son. I do not have any children, therefore, the pain that you have experienced is unimaginable to me. I wanted to let you know that your son is not forgotten. I never had the privilige of knowing your son but through you sharing his story I will be forever grateful. I am 22 years old and waiting for a kidney transplant. It is through people like you that allow me to live. And living is what I plan to do. I graduate from nursing school in December. I hope to care for those whom cannot care for themselves. Our lives are certainly in God's hands. But I truly beleive that he sends us all Angel's here on earth. Your son's life was cut short. But I know that he is an angel. He has helped others to live. I wish that I could take away your pain. But, I know I can't. I can only offer you my deepest gratitude for the decision you and your family, made in your most heart-wrenching time, to donate James' organs. So on behalf of all the recipients whom did not respond to you, I say thank you. May we considered our lives gifts and live it in away that glorifies God and our angel's whom wanted to live. May God bless you and yours. And I will not forget the precious memory of your son I never knew. Respectfully, Amber Anderson |
