May 23, 2005 / Stone
How could I have known
that just one little stone
could break my heart in half
could make me feel so alone
Your name is printed perfectly
your picture is just right
your mama's poem is beautiful
but it's still an awful sight
See your birthday is written in
but I cant read past the year
because the thing that is so awful
is written in right there
there's an ending to your life
the date you left me's in stone
and I can't seem to comprehend
that you're never comming home
without that stone sitting there
I'd imagine you were still with me
but now that date is haunting
and I have no choice but to see Close
BJ/ Brian Raslton (Neighbor/Friend)
Living in your neighborhood for 9+ years and seeing you everyday it's hard to convince myself that you are really gone. You were a great friend. I remember all the times that i would come over at like 9 oclock in the morning and just walk in your house and there you would be.. eating cereal or somthing sitting on the couch..almost everyday..that never changed. Also when i used to come over and everyone would want to wrestle so we would get out the mattress and me and you and Matt and Jason and Michael would all wrestle and the winner would hold up the belt and take it to their house...Or how we used to play football in my backyard with all the kids in the hood.. Its all memories now tho..not quite the same. My family had a garage sale the other month and we sold this blue GT bike of mine and i was trying to remember who i got it from and then it came to me..You sold me just the frame of the bike for 10 bucks..I Felt like i got such a good deal.. Anyways i thought about u like the rest of the day..I look up to your family so much and especially Matt..I dont know what i would do if something happened to Bobby. I pray for you matt..alot..ever sence i moved out of "west wood" we havnt talked very much at all..but i still think about you alot man... I also miss your mom alot..Ms. Dianne. She is awesome..Keep watchin over everyone up there in Heaven Blake. Love ya dude.. Close

THANK YOU FRIEND / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (friend)
It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.
Instead of waiting until next year to be reminded,
Let's make every day one of thanksgiving;
After all, each day is a unique gift.
So, give a hug for no reason;
Say I love you, just because;
Share a smile with a stranger;
Take the time to count your blessings;
Don't take anything or anyone for granted;
And end each day with no regrets.
Thank you, my friends and family,
For sharing, caring, laughing and crying with me.
I'm truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life
And I am thankful you have allowed me
To be a part of yours.
May you and yours have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving. Close
Dreams
I miss you in the morning as the day begins without you I miss you through the day as my life goes on without you I miss you late at night as I cry alone without you But I miss you not while sleeping As I dance on clouds surround you Close
POEM/ Mom (Mom)
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY, AND MEMORIES A LANE, I'D WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN. I MISS YOU BLAKER ~MOM~ Close
You told me to be careful, mom You said it’s a dangerous place But I thought I was superman I thought I’d always be safe
You said some friends aren’t friends, mom You told me to watch my crowd But I thought I was superman I thought his friend was allowed
You told me you were worried, mom You said he’s not good news But I thought I was superman I thought I’d never lose
You told me that you loved me, mom You said you’d always be here But I thought I was superman I thought there was no need to fear You told me you would die, mom You said it would break your heart But I thought I was superman I thought we’d never be apart
You tell me that you miss me, mom You say this is not goodbye But now I can be your superman see mom, you don't have to cry
You tell me you want to know why, mom you say you can't make it through today But now I'll be your superman And I'll make sure you're okay
You tell me you’re so lost, mom You say you can’t find your way But now I'll be your superman And some day I'll be ready to fly away
I lost my boyfriend Jimmy Dickerson in a car wreck in March 2004.. he was only 17. I just want to tell you how sorry I am for his family and friends.. When I was looking at this site this poem came to mind.
Go and run free with the angels, Dance around the golden clouds, For the Lord has chosen you to be with him, and we should feel nothing but proud. Even though He has taken you from us, and our pain a lifetime will last. Your memory will never escape us, But make us glad for the time we did have. Your smiles will be forever hidden deep inside our hearts, And each moment you gave us never will depart. So go and run free with the angels, As they smile so tenderly, And please be sure to tell them to take good care of you... For me.

Hold on to them, Hold on to family, and friends, I pray you can take some comfort, in knowing that your precious Blake, is now running with my precious Tina, on streets of Gold in Heaven, God Bless.

My precious Matthew, I know God has his hand in everything. I was linked to a memory site for one of my old patients and and I saw Bj's. I know this is where I was supposed to be because I think about you everyday. You don't have to say anything Matt. I can see it and feel it every time I am near you. I wish I could say or do something that would make it better. I know that crazy emptiness that seems to swallow up the world. It seems like when we lose someone we love so much, we have to start our whole lives over again. First we take one breath at a time, then one thought at a time, then one day we are walking, then running. Finally, we are back to living our lives. Just like growing up, it is not fast or easy. But our lives are worth living Matt. For what ever reason that we can't even begin to understand, He has taken BJ away from us. He is at home with God... at peace, in his arms, and in bliss. We will be there with him someday. In the meantime, don't take a minute for granted. Live your life for others as God has intended. You mean so much to so many people. Especially me. I am completely here for you and your family. I love you very much Matt Jolly, Amy Raines
Please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see I'm right by your side each night and day And within your heart I long to stay My body is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear My spirit is free, but I'll never depart As long as you keep me alive in your heart I'll never wander out of your sight I'm the brightest star on a summer night I'll never be beyond your reach I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around And the pure white snow that blankets the ground I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond The clear cool water in a quiet pond I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in spring The first warm raindrop that April will bring I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine When you start thinking there's no one to love you You can talk to me through the Lord above you I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep I'm the smile you see on a baby's face Just look for me, I'm everyplace...
I found this poem & I thought about what BJ would want to say to us. I find myslef thinking aobut him every day..I miss him so much and I know that everything beautiful I see he has a part of, making my day so much better. I know he's with me wherever I go and with you too. REMEMBER that life does not promise you tomm. and you should live everyday to its fullest, never forgetting to tell your loved ones how much you care about them. BJ had amazing friends and we all knew how much he loved us, it was a gift that he had. I will never forget you brother, I miss you more and more everyday and I will carry you with me always!I love you
for your family blake / Lisa Copeland
No breaking heart is here, no sad and chilling pain; no wasted cheeks where the frequent tear rolls down and leaves it stain.
Dear Family and friends of mortal years, the trusted and the true, you are watching still in the valley of tears, but I wait to welcome you.
I won't forget, O no! For memory's golden chain shall bind my heart to the hearts below till we meet to touch again.
Each link is strong and bright, and love's eternal flame, flows freely down, like a river of light, to the world from where I came.
And God Shall wipe away all tears from their eyes Close

Never alone / Michelle Jackson (friend)
I feel you in the morning When at first I awake Your thought is with me With each decision I make
You'd been around forever Since the first breath I took Now I have to go on alone But for love, I need not look
Cause by what you bestowed In our short time together Will last in my heart Forever and ever
Although you've left And now walk above I'm never alone I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long waited reward Feel peace that your love continues on What was taught to me, will be taught to mine Cause you live on in me even after you've gone Close
