Remembering a dear friend. in loving Memory of a dear friend. angel friends, i found out some very sad news this late afternoon. a friend i went to school with, my friend Jason Jarmon, has passed away due to covid. i have some really nice memories of school days shared. Jason was a really good friend. he and i worked on school projects together, played basketball together. one of my favorite memories of my friendship with Jason from our school days, was a school project we worked on, we had literature bowls in school, lots of reading, and would also have "young author's" where we'd write books. Jason was my partner on the project in 5th grade, we wrote a story called "Beebe's Sega Genesis Game Adventure" the stories, would get published by our school, and our parents would get to come into our school and we'd read the stories to our parents. it was very proud school moments. i'll always remember Jason, as a good friend, who was very caring. the last time i saw Jason was at the elementary school went too togther, we greeted eachother while at my niece Alyssa's 6th grade graduation. his family member was graduating too. i'm very sad that Jason passed away. he was my age. You go to school with many people, for so many days, make friends, go through studies, and playing sports after school, or hanging out. those people you go to school with, and spend many hours with during those school days, it's like an extended family. i want to honor my friend Jason today, here in my journal. Jason will be missed and forever remembered. Our thoughts, prayers, and hearts are with Jason, and his family, loved ones. sending our deepest sympathy, and condolences. Jason, Love you bro, you're in my heart

i saved momentos from my school days. This is picture of the story, that my friend Jason and i wrote, in 5th grade. i remember us working on this project, we were 12 at the time. We all loved and enjoyed the writing, called "Young Author's". Jason and i got to sit outside the classroom in the hall, to brainstorm our writing of this story :) good school times.

Hi Sweet Chris, I'm very sorry to hear that your friend Jason who u went to school with and did writing & school projects with passed away due to Covid. My heart goes out to you & Jason & his family. I'm so sorry that this happened. It's very nice to see your pictures of u & Jason & your class & class project & pictures of Jason. Did he have a daughter? It's very sad that this happened. Covid is a very scary thing.

That's nice u & Holly r having a popcorn movie night & enjoying watching movies & that u opened more NFL stickers & it will be your mom's bday tomorrow. I hope she has a very happy birthday & u all have fun celebrating her birthday.

It's so nice u saw the show about collecting coins & u get ideas from the show & u gave food to your nature animal friends. We have two squirrels that scurry on our fence & they drop peanut shells and mandarin orange peels on the ground.

That's so nice Holly is going to make a nice painted rock for your mom's birthday. She does really nice work & it's a special gift she makes.

That will be great that you will decorate this week. We decorated today. Arianna decorated our Christmas Tree all by herself. She likes to be in charge of the decorating and really enjoys it. She turned on Christmas music on utube on the t.v. while she decorated the tree. She's tech savy and a home maker.:)

I got some two Christmas decorations today to hang outside of our door and on the inside of our front door. They r very nice decorations and I had gotten one other one a month ago. I really like our decorations and my husband put the angel on our Christmas tree & put the lights out outside & put candy canes up outside in the front.

That's great u r enjoying leftovers & u gave some turkey to Tiger & look forward to celebrating Tiger's first Christmas & u r going to get a stocking for her. That's so nice. I hope u all have a nice evening. Hugs & love FF
