Today I cried with you!  / Kayla Pumphrey (angel Dawson Kelley mom )
Believe me when I say that today I cried with you! I began reading your son's site,as I had promised myself to visit as you had my angels. I was so moritified by the manner of your tragedy that it took my breath away. And then my heart fell to my knees, I knew this case! It hit national news. My local channel WFMJ TV 21 and KDKA out of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania covered the bare minimum details, as I am sure that media is not allowed to expose all facts in a death of this manner! But I remember the broadcaster saying that NC hadn't seen a crime of this nature, this morbid in centuries. My heart ached for you then and more so now as I can put a face and a life story; family to the murder! His daughter is so beautiful and I can not begin to imagine what your family is going thru! Your family is one I will carry with me in thought and prayer always! To wish you a happy valentines day just doesnt seem fair as you have suffered so deeply with the multiple losses in your family. But heres to hoping that you all have a wonderful day, and that your precious granddaughter finds cupid at her door with kisses from heaven! God Bless you all and may he always be the guiding strength within!

I miss you so much  / Mom
No one will ever understand how it is to lose the child that was always there for you.  You never went a day in your life you didn't call me if you weren't home, you always checked on me and made sure I was okay when you were gone and if I needed something you were always there.  You never got too busy with your life that you forgot mom and now I am lost without you.  I am so lonely and so hurt and wish everyday I could hear you say mom again.  I never had to ask you to cheer me up you always knew when I was down and even though we had our ups and downs like all parents and children do you were always thankful I was your mom.  Somedays now I could care less if I ever made it through another day it would be so much easier to just be with you but I know I can't until God decides it's time.  When that day comes maybe I'll be happy once again.  If it wasn't for the time I spend with Matti I don't know what I would do because everyday would be so much harder without anyone here.  I will always love you, I will always miss you and I will always be proud of the son you were but I will always have a empty place in my heart that will never heal.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY MATT  / Debbie Wengert (Kevin's Mom )

It makes me so sad.  / Another Everyday Visitor
I visit this web site everyday that I can and it makes me so sad knowing the pain you are going through.  I have children and grandchildren and could not imagine anything so horrible happening to them.  I don't know if I could hold up as well as you have.  Coming to this site makes me realize how much our children mean to us and 
we should never take even one minute for granted.  My child means the world to me but my grandkids are the most precious gifts God has ever given me and I pray for them extra hard because this world is not getting any better and they will have it tough when they grow up.  Matt is in a better place, just try to keep that in mind.  I know it doesn't make it any easier but it is some consolation.  I hope your life will get easier as time goes on because you deserve some peace.  You have had your share of heartache.  Close

In Memory of my son Matt

Meeting today for you  / Mom
Well son we met with a new Asst. DA today and I really like her.  I think she will do everything she can to prosecute this case to the best of her ability.  She is very caring and will meet with us again soon after she has had a chance to look over the case.  For the first time in 15 months we finally have someone in the DA's office we can get results from.  You would like her too.  Don't know if we will be ready for trial Feb 19th or not though but I do know she will get it there as soon as possible.

I love you and I miss you so much.  There is nothing worse than losing a child besides losing one the way we lost you.  No family should ever have to deal with something like this and we never thought ours would.  The truth is it happens everyday and I am sure you have met alot of kids in heaven that left this world like you did.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you and miss you.  Your smile, your personality, your jokes and just the warm love you always showed us all.  That will never be replaced.  You had such a bright future and you would have made it.  You have such a beautiful daughter that needed you so much.  She's sick and how I wish you could be here with her to hold and cuddle her the way you use to do your nieces and nephews.  I know you talk to her because some of the things she does are just unexplainable but she recognizes your voice on the recordings and she kisses you everyday on the computer screen and then she'll say Da Da it just breaks my heart because she had a father that wanted her so much and who would have loved her and made sure she was taken care of.

I promised you justice son and for what it's worth on this earth I do believe this new DA will seek it.  Stay close to us and let us feel your presence we need you so much.  You were the rock that held us all together.  We have already been handed a life sentence I pray they will get no less.  I love you son and I will see you again one day on the other side.  Until then rest in peace my sweet boy.

HEAVEN / God Prepares Our Home

God prepares a home for us...Our lives reflect but dimly the perfection of the Lord, and when our loved ones pass beyond our view,  They come into the presence of the one who made us all, where glorious LOVE and JOY come shining through....and while the earth is precious and our sorrow is sincere, our hope is in the PROMISE we are given:That life is but a journey leading to the perfect home that God prepares for each of us in HEAVEN.

Thinking of you  / Nicole T. (Friend)

Matt, 
          I have been thinking lately about everything that has happened and wishing you were still here on this earth with your family. I couldnt even imagine how erica feels now i know she is going through some hard times as well as all of your family. Matt you were a good person, I would never think that this would happen but it did and its not fair but we have to deal with it knowing that we wont never see you on this earth again. it sucks really bad because you were a wonderful person with a good heart and they had no right to do what they did to you, taking your life from your baby girl that is the worst thing that could happen. I just wanted to stop in and let you and your family know that i have not forgotten about you or your family. RIP matt jones love ya. we all have memories of you that will never fade away!

my condolences  / Tara Hartman (Site Vistor )
Hello. I just wanted to say that I am terribly sorry for the loss of your young Matt. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it has been for you, your family and friends. You left a tribute on my cousin's site (ronald-adair.memory-of.com). I can't fully say I understand how you feel because Ronald's death was nothing like your poor Matt's. But I can tell you that I do understand the pain and hurt you feel from losing someone you love so much. Our Ronald was killed in a car accident last year, and even today we all still miss him more than ever. I know it's the same on your end too. I feel like i'm never going to get over him being gone from my life, but I keep telling myself that God has a plan for everyone one of us, and I guess taking Ronald and Matt so young was a part of his plan. I know it's hard to understand that because it's still hard for me to understand it too. 
I will have your family in my prayers on Feb 17th, everything will work out for the best. Reading your court hearings and stories just breaks my heart... I can't imagine how hard it has been for you all. 

Love & Prayers,
Tara Close

a memory ..  / Nella (visitor)
To have loved one, then lost, is still better than to have never been so blessed. To have been enriched by one's cheerfulness, their memory lingers on. Their hopes and ideals in the crevices of your mind, their wisdom is there when you need it. Whatever was good and noble within your loved one, they still live through you. May their life have had purpose and meaning by keeping their good seed alive. Only then can we truly say, "In Loving Memory." 


rest in peace sweet angel ..you have such a loving family, help them through these hard times .. Close

My thoughts and prayers are with you!  / Susan DeWitt-Reilly (site visitor )

To The Jones Family,
                  

                             I want to begin this letter by telling you how very sorry I am for your loss of your son,brother,uncle,grandson,friend,love,father and light.  I can not say anything to make a difference in your world- I just wanted you to know that your lives and your struggles mean something to complete strangers. Your tears are cried and your son is felt by complete strangers.  So many times love goes by without saying: we just assume people know how we feel. It's obvious,  your son gave you that gift of knowledge and assurance-therein lies strength.

You have a beautiful family- Matt has a beautiful daughter. 

I only can wish you luck and jusice with the up-coming trial.

memories last a lifetime..  / Nella Friend (visitor)
With the loss of a loved one, it is hard to deal,
It seems like a dream-- this can't be ...
One moment they're here; the next, they're gone.
They now live in our hearts and hearts do go on...

Keep alive the good times shared,
For no others shall ever be compared...
To those we miss so much,
And by whom we've all been touched...

They made us laugh; they made us cry;
Within our hearts, they shall never die...
They keep us going; they keep a smile on our face,
Because they've gone on, gone on to a better place,

A place in which they'll feel no pain.
No one's at fault; no one's to blame...
Everything has a purpose; there is reason for it all.
Sometimes at night, I can still hear them call...

They say they are fine, and, "don't be blue,
‘Cause someday soon we'll be with you...
Together again, like the times before,
When you get here we'll be smiling, standing at Heaven's door Close

I Love You  / Mom
