Jason , I will always remember your smile ..and all those wonderful Young Life moments at your house. We love you ..and You will forever be in this Tates Creekers heart.
Jason,
You were one of a kind in many ways. Your good soul and huge heart will always remain in my memories of you! Ella and I love you very much. We were given this past year for which I will always cherish being a part of your life again! Knowing you’re at peace is an incredible comfort to me, you deserve that. You will continue to remain in my heart as one of the best friends a girl can have. From 5th grade to 2022 is a pretty good testament to your spirit and loyalty. Ella said to me last night that she felt like she now has a guardian angel because of you! That’s a bigger compliment than you probably realize. And, I’m grateful to you for making her feel that way! We love you and will miss you more than you could ever know!
Peace, love and happiness,
Deanna
