Jackson Video

My brother Pat put together this video of Jackie for the funeral. He did such a great job that I wanted everyone to be able to see it. We are still hurting so much from the loss of our baby boy, but the love of friends and family is helping us put one foot in front of the other. Thank you so much for all the love, support, and prayers that we have felt from each and every one of you.

Love,
Coby

My heart aches for you as I bow my head and lift you up in prayer.

Coby and Tiffany, thank you for sharing your picturs of your sweet Jackson. We met you once about 3 years ago. But it seems like I know you better because of all Bettie's stories. I am truly sorry for your loss. He is such a beautiful boy! Our Heavenly Father loves you and your perfect children more than we can ever know! You our in our prayers.

TIffany, I am so sorry for your loss. And my heart hurts for you too. You might have read my story on "Angles Among us". I read your comment And I would love to get together and talk about our little boys! I think that Molly also lives in Northern Utah. And I'm not sure if there are others here at least. My heart hurts so much for you too. Go to my blog.

and leave me your email address in the comments. (I won't publish the comment. so people you don't know won't have access to it.) Again I am so sorry. Your little guy sounds so much like mine. (Gavin loved toothbrushes too! And I had taught him sign language.) I hope to hear from you soon.

We shouldn't have to do this my friend. I made the comment to a co worker of mine, "Why do you think God takes the babies from the 'good' homes, yet leaves others here in 'bad' ones?" Ok not an exact quote....

But her reply kind of struck me, badly at first, but I gave it some thought. She said, "Isn't it wonderful that God sends the ones who won't stay very long to those who have the truth? So that they know that this isn't the end?"

I still have reservations, but if I am looking at it honestly I can see her point.

Thinking of you and praying for you always!!!!

I loved this video of Jackie. That pic of your dad and Jack with his crazy hair is still one of my favorites. I just loved his easy personality (very helpful when you went to the gym). Isn't it amazing that all Jack had to do was come to earth to get a body and then his work was literally done? He must be pretty dang special. I know it doesn't make it any easier. I love you.

Tiffany, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine the pain you guys are going through. Just remember that at this time He is carrying you through your grief. He is the only one who completely knows how you feel.

Love to you.

No words. Absolutely beautiful....those eyes. And, both of you, and that sweet "big" brother. I thought of you during conference today. I pray for your hearts to find peace, and I know in the Lord's time they will. God bless you in your sorrow. The video was incredibly touching...even to a "stranger."

Mandie said...

I'm a lame friend for not posting before....I cry every time I think of you and Jack, and Coby and Broken too. I was afraid to post because I want to say something great. But I just cant seem to get it out all pretty. I love you so much. I was thinking of you in confrence and when I think it was Jeffery R. Holland was talking about angels and I remembered our last girls night when you were talking about when you and Coby were first married and you said he was so perfect that when you woke up you thout it was a dream, I think he is your angel.

Hi a am a stanger here just wanted to tell you that I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby boy! What a awesome tribute! He is so beautiful! My heart aches for you and your family. May God bless you and your family is my prayer from my heart to yours!

What a priceless video. Thank you for sharing Jackson with us. He is now an angel among us. I pray for daily peace and strength for you and your family.

Molly Bice-Jackson said...

Tiffany and Coby,

It was so wonderful to meet you. Though our visit was brief, I could tell a few things about you. 1) You love Jackson with all your heart. I know this because of the grief painted on your faces. He is so lucky to have you as his parents. 2) You are people of great faith. It was so evident in the way you spoke and your longing for hope.

You mentioned what you see every time you close your eyes. As my mental picture has faded into the background a bit, I find myself closing my eyes and seeing the two of you and imagining what you see when you close your eyes. I have been praying, and hoping that perhaps in the moments when I see and "re-live" that horrible day, I can in some small way, take some of it away from you for a small moment.

We love you. We know what you are going through and we are here for you. Tiffany, you are absolutely beautiful. You both radiate goodness and strength and love.

That was an amazing video of your sweet baby. I found you from another blog and my heart hurts for your family right now!! May you be comforted many days, months and years by the prayers of so many. I loved the last song of that video, so precious! I pray you are given comfort to get through one day at a time, especially for your other little boy!

Hey Tiff, Coby, and Corbin,
I love that video of little Jackie. I'm just thinking about you guys and I just wanted to let you know how much we love you guys. We love you so very much. Wish there was more we could do; we just love you and think about you often.
You're constantly in our thoughts and prayers.

Camille said...

You don't know me, but please accept my deepest concern and hope for you. I am so impressed by seeing that other mothers who are also facing this same trial (Miss Molly, Kunz family, A daily scoop) are all pulling together to support you and one another.
For those of us who truly have no idea how you feel, but only hope that it gets better, you are each an example. Thank you for sharing.
Your boys are both so amazingly darling. Those cheeks- oh my! Praying for you......

Linda said...

I am so sad to hear about your baby ...my new grandson is named Jackson, and I am reminded all over again how life is full of unexpected heart break. Lucy is my great-niece. I am hoping that you can comfort one another...The music on your blog tamed my heart. God bless.
