This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Jerry Lee Johnson Jr, who was known by everybody as JJ or simply Jay, who was born in Fort Leavenworth, KS on October 15, 1986 and passed away on April 28, 2007 in Bartlesville, OK at the age of 20. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
CHERISHED
Your life that once was
Lives on in my thoughts
To cause me to wonder what time would have brought
If your time had continued and you had lived
The path that I walk now would not have been
Changes are made by one moment in time
The path that was lost
I never will find
Words that you spoke
Just one day before
Are remembered forever, since you speak no more
Promises made, that you cannot keep
Continue to haunt the dreams of my sleep
Your presence is here and always will be
Today should be your twenty first birthday
And there are many things I would like to say
Of course, I love you, is at the top of my list
And how very much you are missed
But, it seems so long
Since Jesus called you home
What would I say if you were here
And I could speak without a tear?
Ever since you first became my little boy
I held you in my arms
Enchanted by your charms
For Jesus put you in our home
If I could just hear your voice
Oh, how I would rejoice
If I could look into your eyes
Then my wish--I would realize
If I could see your smiles
Perhaps I could walk these many miles
'Til Jesus calls me home
But now is not the time for sorrow
I must look beyond tomorrow
I do not walk alone this last mile
My Lord is with me through this trial
Someday soon, we will sing
We'll be together with our King
When Jesus brings me home
Cherished forever, you are always in my memory & my heart
I love you my son
