. Jaaz

I have been putting a lot of thought on how I can memorialize Jaaz. How do you put 27 years in a paragraph?  She was my female soul mate. We knew more about each other than our own mates. I could always count on her to be there when I needed her. Road trip??? Oh yeah; packed by the time I picked her up. She loved my family. I loved hers. Part of my heart is missing. I have a hole that will never be filled. She was my soul sister. I loved her very much. I can not tell you the hours we spent together and the conversations on the phone or driving on one of our trips.

We each grew over the years into awesome women.  I am going through old pictures of us.  It is mind boggling.  Thank god I have these…  There are so many wonderful memories of us on our different escapades.  I could write a book about some of the things that we did; Thelma and Louise for sure. It might shock some people. Boy did we have fun. We did have some disagreements at times but what sisters don’t. We always came back together even stronger.

 Her physical body has been gone for 41 days. I was blessed by spending the last few hours and last breath she took. We always said we would show each other that no one dies by giving each other a sign, or laughing about haunting certain people. I know her spirit is around me. I am waiting for the big show.  God, I miss her. 

I am going to miss Jaaz so very much, as everyone who knew her will. Tom, you were the love of her life. What a gift that you two found one another. I will always treasure the sound of Jaaz's laughter and, when we got together, there was never a shortage of laughter! Usually it was because my guide dog, Porsche, was crawling up in her lap and giving her beautiful face a bath even though she did not need it! I met Jaaz in January 2011 at Toastmasters. I  wish I had met her a lot sooner. She was a genuine, loving, and best friend to me. I love you, Jaaz!!! Tom, I am sending you and your whole family love and hugs. 

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures

          

  John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."

 

 

This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)
