Jade Minneman Memoriam

Our precious little girl-it has been 15 years since we have seen your smile, heard your laughter and felt the warmth of your touch. Fifteen years years of what could have been and what should have been. If only we could see you now. See that beaming smile. See the twinkle in your eyes. Are they mischievous...are they full of wonder...full of joy. I can still see you playing in the yard with Blakie, Swinging high in the swing. I can still hear you laughing (and being bossy) with Blakie. But there are some days, that I cannot remember that voice yelling, those fingers tickling or your precious face as you slept. I miss you- and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Now I think of you playing with Grandma and Grandpa. I think of you teaching the dogs new tricks. I think of our six short years together. How your life was cut short, but lived it bringing so much happiness. Fifteen years for my heart to ache, but an eternity to love you. Until we meet again, we will see you in our dreams.

Past the moon, past the stars, to the end of the sky and back- we love you more.

Love, Blakie, Mya, Daddy and Momma

Dearest Michelle, Dean, Mya, and Blake,

I hold you in my hearts today as I do each day. Jade I feel as though I know much about you, your feisty disposition, your laughter, and your love of your family with the extra dose for Blake. Meeting your family fifteen years ago brought me the dearest friends.

I thank you for letting me into your lives during what was such a tragic time. Your steadfast devotion to family, Jade, friends, and to making this a better world, endear you to all of us who are fortunate to be part of your lives. Loving you always, Jeanne
