Jason:
Words can not express the hurt my heart feels as I mourn the loss of one so special. There aren't enough reasons that will explain "why?"
I don't know and will never know what was going through your mind the last moments that you lived here on this earth. Our consolation is that you are now at "home" where no more hurt and harm will come your way. You are with your Nanny who loved you so very much and unconditionally...she will always be there to embrace you and protect you.
If I could turn back the hands of time you would be here with us but I can't do that. If I could have had one more day with you maybe things would have turned out differently. There are so many "ifs".
My heart hurts so very much Jason Derrick. Your face is there at the start of everything I think of and right now you are all I can think of.
I wish that I could have hugged you and told you that things would be alright. I wish that I had spent more time with you, I wish and I wish but those wishes won't come true, now.
Though you have traveled many a rugged road, you have made it to the other side and you didn't suffer in vain...Knowing you as I do you have forgiven those who trespassed against you. Your tenderness came from the pain that you endured throughout your life, the pain is over now Jason. You are free to be Jason Derrick Izak, the Jason we will always love, cherish and miss. Put on your dancing shoes Jason and dance the night away!
I love you so very much

Dear Dawna and Family~
My heartfelt condolences for your loss. Although I didn't have
the pleasure of knowing your son, I remember you spoke of him
often when we worked at the Ferry Street Cafe together. May God
bless you and your family as you enter into this difficult time.
You are all in my prayers. God has a new angel to add to His glorious
kingdom.
Respectfully,

Jason:
I spoke to you on February 18th, the day you were discharged from the hospital, the day you told me that you would be alright. Was your pain so great that you couldn't share it with me? Was the pain not there because you were at a place in your life and you knew where you would go to find what you wanted for so long?
Rest doesn't come as there are so many questions in my mind. Did we fail you? Was our love not enough? So many questions will always be and no one to answer them.
My tears won't stop, they seem endless now. My love for you was as endless if only you had known that, or maybe you did and still wanted the freedom you have now found.
You are safely home now Jason. Your pain and grief no more.

Jason:
I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you, that I didn't know how much pain you were in. I took for granted that we had so much time left together. It's a shame that more of the world didn't get to experience how wonderful you are. Even though you may not have believed it...you were loved by all the people that you touched. I sit here today, with the sadness and heaviness in my heart of knowing that I will never see you again, I will never laugh with you again...we will never dance together again. I will be forever thankful for the time I was blessed to have with you. My tears will always fall for you...I will always miss you. I will always love you. I'll look for you when I get to heaven, until then...I will just look up and find peace knowing that my friend is watching over me.
Love Forever...Chrissy

Kinder people than you are rarely found in this world. It breaks my heart to think of the pain you felt here. Your face will stay in my memories for the rest of my life.

Dear Dawna and family,
I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to you. I had
several of your children in preschool and I especially remember
Jason's smile and warm personality. He was
a sweet boy. I remember as he got older, into his teenage years,
he would always remember me and address me as Miss Cathy.
May God Bless you Jason and grant
you eternal life!
Sincerely;
Miss Cathy (Noto)

I don't have the words to express my sorrow, I know the pain you are feeling and I don't have the words to take away your pain, only GOD can do that. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing your son but I knew your mom and you and your mom's family and I loved and respected them. You and your family are in my prayers. May GOD BLESS YOU AND comfort you.

You will always hold a place in my heart as you always have. I wish I could have one moment to see you smile and dance around and tell me as you always did, "How you are having a great time!" Your life was cut short by a force, which is unknown. When walking through life does a Man have a Little more Love and Goodness, A Little More Light? Does the truth come into the World when a spirit departs! When does a Man's Life have great meaning? That force took you from people, who loved you, loved you for the person you were, just you. I am sorry you did not feel that you were loved, I hope you know that you are, always.
JASON - - - You have meaning!
In all of US, will that meaning remain full of life.
Love always,

Jason Izak Family,
We are praying that God will comfort you during this most difficult time of loss. We are caring friends of Dawna, Jason's mother. Our sorrow is connected with her grief and yours. May God bless you and uphold you. The grief over the loss of Jason will last for awhile but joy will come with reflection and closure. Psalm 23:4&6 says; "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff they comfort me. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." We understand that human words and emotions, especially from strangers, may fall short of giving comfort to you but God can bring eternal peace through His Son Jesus Christ. Look to him for a portion of mercy and understanding that will suffice until all things are made known.
Grieving with You,
Pastor Rodger Smeall

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Jason was a very polite young man. I did not know him very well. I just know him from seeing him in the neighborhood and saying Hi. He offered a couple of weeks ago to help me carry my groceries in. I wish I would of known the pain he was in, and maybe I could of talked to him and let him know that people do care.
Rest in peace

Jason,
The day I heard the news, my tears fell so hard!! I don't understand how the pain was soo bad and hurt soo much that you couldn't stay. You are a brother and a friend to me!! It will be so hard now to go to the club and not see you there performing. I am soo hurt that I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye. People say goodbye is forever, but I know in my heart it's not goodbye cause when my day comes that God calls me home we will be together again. Tell Nanny and Aunt Kendra I said hi and we all miss them. Same as for you honey, I will never forget you. Rest in peace may God bless all of us and help us through this all!!!!
Sadly missed,

Beautiful Baby
Oh what a beautiful baby, skin so perfect, eyes so big, loving, caressing, and spoiling someone so precious, so loving, so adoring, and him just being so innocent to the world around him. A little baby that would cry so loud and open his mouth so wide, that one would think that we were having a earthquake, such a appetite, but I only had mashed potatoes for you to eat, you didn't have a hard time eating them either, you were so fat, and then you grew up before my eyes, and you grew into a beautiful person, that I still loved even more, your eyes when they sparkle, your beautiful smiling teeth, your soft way, but strong hug. Thank you for sharing your dreams with me, of wanting to be a model, and right now baby, and always in our hearts you are the model, perfect person, I pray to God that you can hear what I am saying, and feeling, oh Jason we loved you so much baby boy, we loved you.

My dear Jason,
You were my best friend for almost 10 years. We've been through it all together and I loved you so much. All the good times we've shared will be in my heart forever. I just keep picturing your smiling face. You've held me when I've cried and I've held you when you've cried. We've danced the night away over and over again. All our "road trips" will never be forgotten. The laughter and music will play over and over in my head. I'm so greatful for all the great memories we have together. I just keep sitting here thinking about how I wish I would've been there for you that day you were hurting. Wish I could've answered my phone every time you called me. But I know now that you are with Nanny Ruby and she will be there to hold you forever and keep you protected. You will live in my heart forever Jason and I will miss you so so much. Every tear that falls cannot express how much you will be missed. I love you so much Jason!

We truly do not know where to
start. We were very close friends to Jason in High School. He
had one of those smiles that could light up a room. When we were
feeling down or just needed someone to talk to there was Jason
giving us a big hug and putting his arm around us. Man- we wish
we could do that to him right now!! He will be surely missed by
us and everyone else that loved him. We will always have our memories
and we are very thankful for that. We will always remember his
dancing and doing the "Tootsie Roll" with us. He was
a true friend.
To Jason's family: We are praying for you through this very hard
time. Jason will ALWAYS be in our hearts!

My friend Jason....
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to your family. This is a hard thing to understand or accept but it is beyond any of us to understand and we will have to accept. I will miss you very much and will think of you often. Whether it be at the next show and how we could have done a "number" or if it is just a night when you would dance your heart out. We had many good times together and that is what I will always remember and cherish. Jason you will be missed!

Jason,
I cannot believe that you are gone. It has been a week since your funeral and I still don't believe that I will never see you again. What was the pain that you were going through? Why didn't you come to us? Then again, maybe it wasn't you. Would we as people really have taken the time out to listen? Many of us would like to think that we would but the truth is a lot of us are so wrapped up in ourselves that we would have made some sort of excuse as to why we couldn't be there. That is something you and I have talked about time and time again. Maybe you woke us up. Hopefully you did. But I do remember wishing the same thing at my mother's funeral and again at Nanny's. Still nothing changed. I guess we will only see as time goes on. I love you and miss you. They couldn't keep us apart when we were children and I know I will see you in due time.

Jason,
Aunt Sherri is thinking about you as I always do...as I always have. As I said before I wish that you had opened up and talked about the pain you were going through, the thoughts that ran through your mind. I wished that you had allowed us to hear what you needed to say.
I can't assume that I knew what was on your mind in those final moments. I only know that if you had picked up the phone I would have answered. If you had knocked on my door it would have been opened for you.
Now all I know is that you are gone and I will never be able to hear your laughter, see the smile on that handsome face. I know that I miss you and always will. I know that I love you and will continue to do so, my hopes are that you knew that!
Time, they say, heals all pain...we will see won't we?
Love always and forever

Jason, I am extremely saddened by your sudden passing. Although we only knew each other for a few years before you graduated, we became instant friends. I always told you that you could do or be anything that you wanted. I am very proud of the person that you became. You were always the warm and smiling guy that was there no matter what. Anytime I was feeling sad, you made me laugh and would start singing, and for that I thank you sincerely. I wish that we would not have lost touch. Jahaira Cruz sends her love as well. We still have the prom picture of the two of you (lookin' all good!). To your family I am very sorry for your loss and I will pray for all of you.

Jason,
It's been a little over a month and half and I'm still having
a hard time believing that you're gone. When I first heard the
news of you leaving all I could say was "not our Jason".
Well, it's true and I keep asking the same questions. How could
you've been that lonely and no one knew? How could you have so
much pain and no one knew? Why did you not reach out to us, Jason...your
family? You were loved very much sweetie. You were loved, you
are loved and you will forever be loved.

Hey sweetie. It's been two months since you left us and I still can't believe that you are gone. I think of you all the time. I can still hear your laughter. I really miss you so much. I don't blame anyone for your death. Not even you, you were predisposed into this life. For not having the greatest examples in your life, you turned out to be a great guy. I have been thinking so much, about you, Mommy, my life, my kids, my Dad, my family in general and I am so disappointed. I am disappointed in them and with myself. I am surrounded by all of these people who have the same blood in their veins as me and I still feel alone. Maybe this is only a glimpse of what you felt, but it hurts. And it hurts me to know that you hurt more than that. I know that I have got to heal, and I hope that you were able to. I am sorry that you felt you had no one to talk to, but I am going to keep it real and say it wasn't your fault. No one in this family ever leaves their heart open to others. If they do, they take right back. THAT IS NOT FAMILY. J, I know you are with "family" now. Hang on to them and let them know that I will be home soon as the Lord wants me. I love you. I always have and always will.

Your birthday is around the corner. What I wouldn't do to have you call me and mention don't forget my birthday Mom. How I miss you, the pain is so great. How I wish I can hold you again. How I often think to call you and again the pain comes cause there's no one on the other line. I remember when mom lost Kendra and I knew she was going through the worst pain ever. I remember crying for mom cause I needed her so badly the day you died and the pain grew even stronger. I will never be the same never again without you.
Loving you so deeply and it will never go away I love you Jason.

As I sit and think about you, I realize that your birthday is quite near. I wish that I could hear your voice, see that beautiful smile that would light up a room whenever you entered.

Jason your Aunt Tara sent me pictures of you when you were three, how much you look like me. I miss you coming to my house with Chris when I was living on Ferry St. I think of those times often. How we shared dinner together and the laughter when Chris told us of how you slept. You have no idea of the pain I go through and the guilt that rushes over me because of not being there as a mother should. I gave my word to the Lord that if he allowed you in heaven that I will tell people of who he is. There's not a day that goes by that I don't talk of our Christ not one day. I know that you are there in the arms of our love ones that went on before you. What do you think of your Nanny's brothers? Aren't they a hoot? I miss your nanny very much. Your Aunt Tara send me her pink jacket that smells of her perfume. You see your Aunt Lis doesn't she reminds you of your Aunt Kendra? Just look at her eyes. And your Aunt Kendra I know she's happy to see you in our God's grace. How I miss her so much, how I miss every one. But the word of our Lord is I will never leave you, I will never forsake you, I will always keep your path stright. Amen
I wish that I knew you were in
the hospital cause I would of been with you every day, every day.
I knew something was wrong, cause I kept telling your brothers
all week that week while you were in the hospital that there was
something wrong with you. I felt that you were in some type of
trouble, and that they needed to get in touch with you. That whole
week that you were in the hospital we didn't know where you were
and then when we found you, you were gone.
With out an I love you from no one without me telling you don't
do this again or you would have to answer to me. Without you seeing
me cry because of your pain.
Your and our loved ones are the lucky ones, you are. God who knew you way before you were in my womb. The grace of our Lord is the best place to be. He's slow to anger and he always keep our paths straight. I can't wait until I see you again cause being without you hurts so very much.
until we meet again,
Jason Derrick. I miss you, and I can't wait until I see you again
Love always and always and always

Hi Jason Derrick,
So tell Aunt Tara how are the heavens above, I am sure that it is beautiful I am sure that you are singing with the angels, and dancing, and having a good time. Your smile, with those gorgeous white teeth is probably lighting up every place to fly, cause I know that you have wings, beautiful wings, big beautiful wings. Jason, you will always be a model to me, a special little boy, that was so innocent in alot of ways, not really having the chance to be a little boy and growing up too soon. Always a for real person, honest, compassionate, loving and sometimes even daring. I envy you, no more pain nor suffering, and no more will anyone shone you, I hope that you realize this, you were so very special to all of us, and why, because you were and are Jason Derrick Izak.
Love
Aunt Tara

Just sitting here thinking of
you and how I miss you. There's not a single day that I don't
talk to you. I want to thank you for the dream I had
of you being a taxi driver and telling me that I couldn't come
with you, that I had to stay here due to it wasn't my time. Thank
you for telling me
in this dream that you were talking to God when I asked, mostly
for smiling as big as you did when you told me yes. I am talking
to him right now. thank
you for letting me know what I already knew, that there is a God.
Know that you're with us just like the ones before you are with
us as well. Tell them
all hello for us and they are in our dreams and thoughts.
Loving you all and missing you painfully.
