In Loving Memory of Shane Edward Jackson
August 2, 1977 - July 5, 2002
This is Shane with his daughter Kelsey when she was 3 years old.
I'm Already There(Richie McDonald/Gary Baker/Frank Myers)
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
And when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
And said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already...

This picture of Kelsey went with her Daddy.
This is the first picture of Shane with his daughter Kelsey, shortly after she was born.
Here is a picture of Shane's son, born Jan 31, 2003 - 7lb 2.3oz. Named Shane Edward Jackson, Jr. His Dad probably jumped up and down in heaven about having a boy. He looks so much like him, I wish Shane could have been here.
The picture on the left is Kelsey with her Daddy on her first birthday. The picture on the right is Kelsey at 2 years old.
"It doesn't matter who my father was;
it matters who I remember he was."
~By Anne Sexton (1928-1974) U.S. poet~
Above is a picture of Kelsey at her Daddy's funeral. How heart-breaking.

Memory
Author Unknown
There is a place called memory,
Where we sometimes like to roam.
Through hills of love and laughter
A place we know as home.
A place that's free from all this pain
Where our hearts are light once more.
A place that lives forever,
Where life is, as it was before.
Our children live in memory.
They laugh and dance and sing.
Their lives are filled with a magic
Only Heaven can bring.
They feel no hurt or anger.
Their spirits are free as air.
And God's love will always protect them
In times when we aren't there.
Cherish this place called memory.
Feel the love that lives there.
Remember the joys, the warmth of the sun,
And the bond you will always share.
Smile at happy moments,
Laugh at times gone by.
Let the tears you cry be happy ones,
Know love will never die.
Have no fear of visiting,
The joy will outweigh the pain.
Learn to treasure memory for there is much that you will gain.
And though life is not as it was before,
And never will be again,
Our memories are much richer,
Than if love had never been.
