   It has been 1 year ago since we lost Jason.  It has been a long, tough year to get to this point.  There has been more stress than anyone can imagine.  I have stayed strong for my grieving wife while at times not taking any time for myself to grieve.  There has been stress on our marriage at times but I think that is to be expected.  Yonnie and I have stayed strong and will continue to do so.  We both miss Jason so much, he was such a strong and beautiful part of our lives.  This past year has given us the gift of friendship, as there have been so many beautiful and caring people in our lives to help us and to support us:

Jim and Cheryl-What can I say, when I needed you most, you were there.  The two of you are the most wonderful, beautiful people in the world.  If every human being on the planet had your compassion and values the world would be a different place.  I truly love you both.

Stan-  Amigo, you are the best.  You have stood by us and supported us and listened to and tolerated my crap for a year now!  You are truly a wonderful man and I am proud to call you "amigo"!

Nancy-  What can I say.  You gave us a shoulder after just needing a shoulder yourself.  In the midst of your grief, you were there to help me with mine.  Death and tragedy surrounded us and yet we have managed to make it through.  I guess it just "sucks less" now huh?  Still sucks, just less.  I love ya Cleveland.

Ron and Cathy-  You have been so wonderful and supportive.  Through all the challenges you also were there for us.  Cathy, Yonnie really does care for you and you have been invaluable to her "surviving" this.  We love you guys so much.

Jim and Bobbye-  Thank you for being there and just caring.  It has meant so much, your support has helped us so much in the last year.  You both have been wonderful friends.

Lastly, MY FAMILY-  Dad, I love you so much.  Words will never say how and what I feel for you.  You have been the finest example of what a real man is that a son could ever ask for.  I am so glad that we have rekindled our relationship for I now now what a Father's love for his son is like and how it feels when it is ripped away from you.  You have been there Dad, you have grieved with me and have been a rock.  I love you so much and I hope I haven't disappointed you.  I work everyday to be a son that you can truly be proud of.  Mom, I love dearly.  You also have been there every step of the way.  Again, I just strive to be the son you are proud of.  Jason shed light on a few things for me.  He was my son and that was taken from me.  I pray to God that you and dad never have to experience this.  I have never had anything hurt so much in my life.  I love you Mom.



Jason,
Mom, Dad, Sara and Hank miss you so much.

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Son
Jason Ray Vaughn
My beloved son Jason passed away on Tuesday March 24th, 2009.  It has been a shock to my entire family.  We miss our boy so much and we cannot understand why he was taken from Yonnie and I.  Yonnie is devastated as am I on this tragic event.  Jason was a brilliant student who carried a 4.0 grade average.  He was working, going to school and saving money.  Doing all the right things to become a man.  Jason is missed by so many, his friends are as shocked and as devastated as we are.  Jason will be missed and I know that the pain that Yonnie and I as well as our entire family feel will subside but will never go away.  Yonnie and I will feel this hurt and pain until we pass.  The support that we have received from everyone means so much to us and we want to thank everyone that has been there for us.  God bless you Jason, Mom and I will meet you in heaven.
