Although we are not together
You are still here by my side
Eighteen years have gone by
And you still fill my heart with pride.

You are with me where ever I go
Forever I hold you within my heart
My love for you I will always show
In my life you will always be a part.



God blessed my life with a wonderful son
Who I have always been proud of
You brought to my life laughter and fun
You will always be the son I will love.

Rest my child in the heavens above
I know God is now taking care of you
And you fill his heart with pride too
With the things that you say and do.



God needed you to help Him
A plan for you He already had
Even though it left me here
Feeling empty and sad.

They say in time the pain will heal
When that will be I do not know
At times I do not allow myself to feel
Because I was not ready to let you go.



God gave you a special crown to wear
The day He placed you in His care
He knew of the love you had to share
To this day it still lingers in the air.

In my heart is where you will always stay
And when I kneel and bow my head to pray
I still thank God for the blessing He sent my way
For it is your love I still see and feel every day.

Thank you Pamela for writing this wonderful dedication
for a loving and caring young man, Jeff,
whose life was taken at the young age of 15
(18 years ago)as a result of an auto accident.

Jacque, (Jeff's Mom) and family will always
treasure this wonderful poem; I know
in my heart of hearts, that Jeff
will also be smiling down on you,
for giving his Mom such a beautiful gift.



May you always be blessed with God's beautiful
gift of bringing love, light and inspiration
to those in need.

Love and Blessings.....Judy
