In Loving Memory of
Jason Robert Norwood

Thank you Jason for being dressed like a girl on that first Halloween and sharing your lollipop with me. Thank you for laying me on the bed and making me listen to orchestra music. It was hard but you got me through it, then I fell asleep! Thank you for introducing me to the alternative world and playing music like the Smashing Pumkins, psychedelic furs and so much more. Thank you for introducing me to your sister who I looked up to, you loved her so much I wasn't sure if I should be jealous or not! Thank you for playing that John Lennon tape that your brother made for you. It's forever implanted in my head. Love is Real. Thank you for wearing tight skin pants. I still don't know how you got them on. Thank you for always being there for me. No matter what my life was putting me through, you were there to catch me, you gave me security, peace. I was confused but you didn't care. Thank you for protecting me that bad day when I was 17. Thank you for letting my crazy family fall in live with you. Thank you for pretending that you liked my grandmas' menudo, even though we put yours back in the pot. Thank you for asking me to marry you on that Christmas day in front of my entire family. Nobody has ever done anything like that for me. Thank you for introducing me to my best friend in the world. My friends I have now I met through you. Thank you for teaching me how to drive. I can go on all day about everything that I am thankful for, but deep inside I know you know. Most of all, thank you for being my childhood, my constant, my friend, my arm. I feel like without you on earth I'm missing a leg or something that is naturally a part of me. Even in those last years of marriage and more kids I felt we'd work it out. Me, you, and your wife. Even though you moved on I thought I'd be a part of it. Call me crazy I guess, but that's just how we were. We'd always work it out. Well I'm rambling now, I'm not good with good-bye. See you in my dream or I'll hear you through music. Love Shelley


I remember the first time I saw you. You gave me instant butterflies. I knew you going to be someone very special to me, I felt it within my body. Who knew... 7 years later, a home and 5 kids. Everyone thought we were crazy to be together but you stood your ground regarding our relationship. And, I have always respected you for that. We had both been in some not so good relationships in the past, and we were secretly ready for one another. I help you deal with your past and you definitely help me deal with mine. Their was never a doubt in my mind that our family was first priority in your eyes, and I so loved you for that. The first time we made love, you look down at me and said, I never knew it could be like this... And I replied, Like what? Feel so right... Damn! how can you have soo much love, but yet be in so much pain??! You made me the happiest woman, even though we fought like crazy. We kept back to each other, like we couldn't get enough. Later on, we would laugh about our crazy fights and tell our stories to friends and families. You were so happy when you got me preganant with our son (Child #5!) I was soo scared! I told you, Jason you better not leave me with all these kids! Funny how, things change... because today I couldn't be more proud to be the mother of our 5 kids. The twins miss you very much. They are growing so fast and handling your death like true young ladies. They have both made the honor roll, made the basketball team (Can you believe that??), and are joining everything they can. Daniel - Has brought up his grades tremedously, he actually cares now ( Ha! Ha!), made the football team, and would like to start baseball and boxing in the near future. Amanda - Misses how fun of person you were. Always doing something with them. ( I am trying to keep up your image!) Jackson - Our little one, constantly speaks of you. I am very grateful for him, he is the spitting image of you. Obviously, your looks, but honey.. he is all you all over again. Whatever happens, I promise I will be there for our son. You watch him from your end, I'll watch him from mine. Your parents are still having a hard time dealing with your death, and the pain that you felt to do what you did. And, simply just not being on earth with us no longer. So many things have change since you have departed. Our families, friends, people, feelings. I hate it! You said, we would be better off with you." O" how you were so wrong, so very wrong. We couldn't be more worse. Granted good things have happen to us. But, I would I take it all back just to have you. I love you so very much, always and forever my husband, my lover, our children's father, your parent's baby son, and most of all my best friend. Always weeping for you, Your Wife. Mrs. Norwood

The Calling - From the album "Camino Palmero"
(Fade away, fade away, fade away oh) 2x

You left me with goodbye and open arms
A cut so deep I don't deserve
Well, you were always invincible in my eyes
The only thing against us now it time

Chorus:
Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If I only had one more day

I lie down and blind myself with laughter
A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing
And how I wish that I could turn back the hours
But I know I just don't have the power

Chorus

I'd jump at the chance,
We'd drink and we'd dance
and I'd listen close to your every word
As if it's your last, well I know it's your last
Cause today, oh, you're gone

Could it be any harder? (you fade away, fade away, fade away, oh) Could it be any harder?

Could it be any harder to live my life without you
Could it be any harder I'm alone I'm alone

Like sand on my feet
The smell of sweet perfume
You stick to me forever
and I wish you didn't go
I wish you didn't go, I wish you didn't go away
To touch you again with life in your hands,
it couldn't be any harder...harder...harder


Oh my goodness....time flies....look how grown up. Are you sure you're old enough to have such beautiful girls that age? I still remember when Jason told us you were pregnant...then that you were having twins...and then twin girls....then going to your apartment when they were born.....they were so tiny and sweet.....then seeing them through the years...then at Greg & Tonya's wedding.....little angels.....I got to sit with them at the dinner table along with Jason's parents..What a pleasure. Just a few fond memories.

Love and Friendship

Sharleen
