On a cool dark November night Jesse left us.
Without any warning,without the chance to say good-bye
One minute he was here,the next he was gone
Broken hearted and teary eyed,
we had to face the morning
I didn't want too, But I had no choice,
things had to be done for him
The one thing no-one wants to do
I had to say good bye to my baby
The chance to watch him grow
gone
The chance to say I love you went
with him
I know in my heart he's better off
he's happy now
Saddness overwelms me as the memories
come pouring out
I long to hold my son,
to say I love you Jesse,
to see his smile
These things were taken from me
one dark senseless night
I was left here to carry on,
not by will but by faith
My job is clear now,
but it has changed
On April 18, 1983
I was given the job of raising my son
To love him, to teach him,and to guide him
On November 17, 1999 my life took a turn,
my job had changed.
Now it was to share Jesse with the world
To spread the word,he's in a better
place.
So I place my life in the Lords hands
to hold along with Jesse,
and I promise him,I won't let you be forgotten
Please know that when you veiw this page
you see my heart,it is here to be shared

Jesse
When I think of you I remember all of
the happy times we've spent together.
How you were always there for me~~
During the good times and the bad
You've added to my life in so many ways.
You'll always have a special place in my heart.
I love you Jesse

Gone in a Flash
It was a tragedWritten in memory of Jesse Lockamy
By: Tanisha A Key
Jesse I never met you,
I`m sorry to say.
Before I got here,
God took you away.
Mom keeps your memory
alive & well,
your mom is the best,
but you I don`t have to tell.
She goes thru each day,
with you on her mind.
She always tells me
your one of a kind.
The stories she tells
about dying your hair,
I only wish one time
I could have been there.
Your mom`s very special,
I knew it from the start.
She will always & forever,
have a place in my heart.
She loves & misses you
very very much,
Your voice your laughter,
and even your touch.
Look after her Jesse,
while your in Gods care,
She sends all her love,
To you up there.

Flights on Angel's Wings
It happened so swiftly... so fast
Twisted metal violently tossed
And then all was done
My best friend was lost
Freely repenting of his sins
Unaware that time was a race
Death swallowed him
And he met Christ face to face
His spirit ascending in an azure sky
Where no pain or trouble can befall him
Awaiting friends and family
One and all
It hurts to lose a best friend.
But one bright morning, we'll meet again

Loosing a Friend
I know the fear that's in you're eyes
I can see that you are scared
All I do is look for you
But i know there's only one way to find you
I saw you go
Wish it wasn't so
Oh I miss you
I'll pray to you every night
Wish you well wish you bright
Watch over me and your friends
I wish you didn't have to go
You left way to soon
Think I'm lost now oh I'm so confused
Wish you were here with us right now
I'll see you again in the future
We can be together once more
I'll never forget you.

Jesse's Best Friend
*Near to the door*
*he paused to stand*
*as he took his class ring*
*off her hand*
*all who were watching*
*did not speak*
*as a silent tear*
*ran down his cheek*
*and through his mind*
*the memories ran*
*of the moments they walked*
*and ran in the sand hand and hand*
*but now her eyes were so terrible cold*
*for he would never again*
*have her to hold*
*they watched in silence*
*as he bent near*
*and whispered the words..*....
*"I LOVE YOU" in her ear*
*he touched her face and started to cry*
*as he put on his ring and wanted to die*
*and just then the wind began to blow*
*as they lowered her casket*
*into the snow....*
*this is what happens*
*to man alive.....*
*when friends let friends....*
*drink and drive.*
