This is a poem my 9 year old son Jason wrote for Durese on her birthday Saturday 11-23-02.

     R         Reesey is someone we really loved
     E         Eternally we loved Reesey
     E         Embraced Reesey alot
     S         Surely enough we loved her
     E         Everything, we shared with Reesey
     Y         Yours and mine Forever
     S         She was ours forever

           To My Aunt Reesee. From Jason (For Gods Sake)
Sadly she left our earthly lives on that cold February Day.  I miss her each and every moment of my life.  My children and my best friend Sandy Simon (whom Reesey loved as well) miss her everyday.
Happy Birthday Durese...............

How do I explain the way this day makes me feel?
If they truly loved me, I wouldnt be searching for words.
Words to explain the way I feel.
They see me, hear me, know me?
They should already know.

But I feel in my heart
I want to give credit to you
And I want to celebrate and remember you!
Because you brought happiness into this world.

Together we learned and understood "trust".
Together we learned the joy's and heartbreak's
of falling in love...........
We understood the pain of losing our Mother's "twice"

The first time to their debilitating illness'
The second and eternal time to death
Was that previous life called living?
Yet they understood and felt blessed,
Blessed................

We shared this undeniable sorrow
Understood each other through it ALL!

Then one day the sun set on your pain,
And you could bear it no more.
It wasnt going to break your heart anymore.
You turned away and left this world that hurt you so.

And now I am physically alone with the feelings,
Only allowing myself to share these thoughts
of losing you with the ones who really know.
Afraid to reach out - to show the world a pain so
pure. But knowing in my heart, I must.

My friends, they have experienced suicide first hand.
They too have lost their hearts,  and offered up their
aching souls to a higher power.......begging, pleading,
"Please heal my heart, let me love you and hold you
close, but please, take this pain of losing you this way,
away...........and NO, let me feel it.........hold onto it,
nurture it. It is divine, it is mine. You gave it to me."

We walk together, miles a part.
Bound by the knowledge of this pain
within our hearts..........
Giving up this heavy burden is not a choice
for us..........
Why cant they see?  We promised to love you
Eternally.

I pray each night you'll come to me again.
I pray and ask God to let you.
I wont be afraid.........I'll smile and say,
"Hello, you"!
We'll talk and laugh just like old times.
And I'll listen, I promise.
I know where you are, please come to see me.
It's not that far.

I have to hope for a dream of you
I cant stand this!
I cant call you, or smile at you.........
I just talk to you, and pray you hear me.

You see straight into my soul,
You always did.
What do you see there?
Tell me.
Is there hope?
I'm holding out, holding on............
Why, why, why didn't you?

Moonshine time
Thoughts of you
Spinning round
As thougts do
I just wondered if
Your eyes still shine
As they did
When you were mine

I can see
In a dream
Thoughts so clear
Jewels that gleam
Would your eyes
Still sparkle then
If we were, once again

Jewel eyed Judy, please come home
Jewel eyed Judy, don't leave me alone
Jewel eyed Judy, please come home
Jewel eyed Judy, don't leave me alone

Lovely Judy
Can you see
Where it it
You're meant to be
Where you lay
Your head tonight
May the stars
Find your light
So am I
Sitting here
Moonlight glistens
On my tears
Is this all
That we could find
Chains of memories
Left behind

Jewel eyed Judy, please come home
Jewel eyed Judy, don't leave me alone
