I'm so sorry...  / Kara At KotaPress...
Hi Gladis,

Just wanted to let you know I'm so very sorry for Jason's death.  Of course I totally understand the rollercoaster of grief, and so hope that there might be some small bit of something in the Finding Our Way session that might bring a bit of help or comfort.  Reading everyone's introductions, I can't help but continue to come back to, "it's so not fair."  Not that anything is ever fair, but you know, it isn't fair!  Lots of supportive vibes to you and looking forward to getting to know you and Jason more over then next several weeks of our group.

Miracles,

I am so incredibly sorry for the pain you are going through. I understand it so well. I can hear the desperation in each word you spoke on here and it tears away at my already aching heart. NO MOTHER should ever have to go through this and when it could have blatantly been avoided, it makes even harder to deal with. I hope that over time you will find some kind of peace in your heart. We NEVER forget but we are allowed to live. Through tears I write this so I am sending you a ((((((((HUGE cyber HUG)))))))) xxxx Kirstin *Joshuas Mum forever 11 Close

More than one day poem for jason


More than one day

As everything leaves me, not one

single breath left.

As everything stops, not one more

step.

This day of remembrance is soon to

be here.

But to me, this "day" is not so

clear.

Because to me, your day, is every

day.

Until we are all gone, and past

away.

Because you are the stars, and the

sky.

But most of all, you ARE the reason

why.

With so many memories, with so many

people that care,

Remembering you in just one day

would not be fair.

You brought to people so much joy

and fun.

You were such a great friend and a

amazing son.

What you have done can never be

taken away.

This is why you are more than just

one day.

Brothers for Life  / Justin Sula (Hockey Friend )
August 30, 2007 - Thursday

Brothers for Life from Justin Sula
Current mood: loved
Category: Life



Brothers for Life
Skating down the seamless tile floor, the sound of the wheels bumping over the connection points echoing at my back, I receive the puck mid-ice. After circling around an opponent, I go forward toward the stone wall of man in front of me. Jason, wide open to my left, sets up for the slap shot at point; ready to release his strength and send the puck hurling toward the net. I send a swift pass to him, anxious for the shot to come.

When I first moved to Arizona, I knew few people; we found a local hockey rink that allowed stick time during the summer. I quickly fell in love with the game, though I had never played. It gave me a great opportunity to meet many new people and make connections despite what school anyone went to. Karen, the rink owner, quickly learned the names and faces of my family considering our frequent visits. The roughest part about stick time was the hours which were from eight in the morning until noon! Despite the early hours, I found myself making many new friendships that lasted well into high school. Jason, someone who I met at the rink, quickly became one of my closest friends. Although he was nearly two years older than me, we shared a lot of great times.

He would always come and spend the night but we had to wait due to my mother and Gladis, his mother, talking for what seemed like hours. Jason became a significant role model for me, although I have an older brother, he seemed closer to me than my brother Andrew. I learned much from Jason, whether it was from learning how to deal with peer pressure, or how to handle peoples' criticism and sarcasm, Jason taught it to me.

Three thirty in the morning, a dreadful phone call, one I would never forget for the rest of my life. Upon hearing the horrific news and the sobbing on the other end, I hung up the phone. The words from the receiver repeated over in my head "He came in the middle of the night; the harvester of death extinguished the life of my little boy, Jason." Later I learned that the source of his death was not anything medical, but merely the irresponsibility of Jason, the adults, and the so called friends he was with. Upon collapsing from consuming too much alcohol, Jason was drug out from the party host's house and thrown into the back of his car where his mother found him, unconscious.

After his funeral I visited his mother frequently. I knew that she could always use a laugh every now and again. In the end you begin to reflect on the past and prepare for the future. Jason's death taught me to be strong, to move on no matter how hard life barreled you over. I helped his mother remain strong, even though in her absence I could not shield myself from tears.

His death brought me closer to my friends and family. I began spending more time with my brother since I knew he would be out in his own world quite shortly. Despite the depressive hardship of Jason's death, I move forward as a strong and now more affectionate young adult.

Jason receives the pass. The shot, nearly one foot away from the net, ricochets off the back glass. Jason races towards the puck and sends it flying back my direction. I skate rapidly to intercept the firm pass and dish it back to Jason who is now at the point. He winds up, fires the puck, and the goalie makes a miraculous gloves save right as the whistle blows. The game is over, we lose one to zero Close

I wish that I had the chance to meet such a person.  / Chelsey Ivanchan (Friend)


I know that I wasn't close with Jason infact I didn't even konw him, but I feel like I do. Most of my friends were Jason's best freinds and I've listened to the countless stories about him. About all the eimes that they laughed together and they were wild and crazy together.

Even though it's sad to think Jason's not here to make more of those memories with them and new one's with me I know that he's still with all of them. There's not a day that goes by that Ryan or Danielle or Robert doesn't think about Jason. It may be beacuse of the band that they wear on their wrist or his red shirt that hangs in their closet but in one way or another they think about Big J.

When I hear all the amazing things about Jason I wish that I had the chance to meet such a person. I'm sorry that such an amazing life had to end so short. Not just for the people that his life had affected but also for the people that he never got a chance to effect. But in some ways even though Jason has left this earth he still continues to change people's lives. I konw that he has changed mine and I wanted to thank him for that.

Thank you Jason, so very much. I wish that one day I will finally be able to meet you. The legend that all of your freinds and family have made you out to be. I wash that one day I will be able to hear that laugh of yours and be laughing right along with it.

To Jason's family and loved ones
I can't imagine what every one of you has been through. I hope that you know that you have my love and my prayers. Stay strong and keep smiling, just how Jason would want you to.

Sincerly,
Chels

Jason, i've known you for so long  / Brittney Gill (Rocky Point Friends )
May 30, 2005 

Jason, i've known you for so long. You used to live across the street from me and our parents became very good friends. such good friends that when u moved miles away they still kept in touch and we'd see each other often. every time my mom would tell me we were going over to Gladis' house i always asked if you were going to be there. you were so fun to hang out with. you acted the same fun-loving guy whether i'd seen you in 2 months or 2 days. there was never a boring moment with you and you always made everything more fun and enjoyable. we've spent so much time together but the times i remember the most were all the times we went to Rocky Point with you. who can forget those trips . . . lol i remeber one very well. we were staying at the Del Oro and we were all on the beach, sun-bathing and Gladis was walking down to us and you ran and just BOOM tackled her straight to the ground. we all cracked up laughing . it was the funniest thing ever. and also us wrestling in the water. that was a great time. you made that trip the best. and also when out parents would go out you'd have to babysit me and Sam(my friend) and Callie and Liam. so me and Sam would give you a hard time and act like we were running away just so you would have to come and chase us to try to get us back. or when we had our mini drink/food fight where we got mustard on your shirt that you loved. so we said we were sorry and you started up again and took revenge and got us big time. but we cleaned everything up so our parents wouldn't find out and yell at us. i will cherish those memories forever. it was truly a blessing to be with you. you will never leave my heart and will always be in my thoughts. i love you Jason and i miss you.

I am crying as I write this letter  / Holli Gill (MomTo Mom )
May 30, 2005 

Jason, 
I am crying as I write this letter. I miss you tremendously,but my pain and sadness are nothing compared with the pain all of your family is feeling. I know that god has a plan....it's just so hard to understand when a young man as sweet, fun loving and good natured as you is taken from all of us here on Earth to go and do your heavenly duties up there with God. The world will never be the same for anyone and everyone that you touched during your short time with us. When I think about you I remember how caring and protective you were with my children and they ADORED you!! Little Liam was so heart broken at your funeral, all he kept saying to me is " Mom, I want to go home this is way too sad!". Brittany loved spending time with you. You were the CUTE older boy she could have a crush on from afar. Boy, I would love it if she could end up with someone half as good as you. You were the only teenager I know who would go out and sit with an adult who was outside alone watching the kids swim, but you did everytime we were at your house swimming. And the clowning around in the pool and jacuzzi...Oh Boy did you love to act crazy and get everyone laughing so hard they thought they would "pee". I put that last word in for you because I know that you are laughing as you read this. Jason we all miss you and think of you often. Please keep a good watch over your mother, brother and father, as well as the rest of us. We couldn't ask for a better angel to have to keep us safe here on Earth.

With all of my love,

Holli

Hey buddy!!! Wow…there’s so much to say! You were such a wonderful person and you brought joy to everyone’s lives! It was impossible not to smile and be happy around you because you were always so full of happiness and love! You had such a contagious laugh, gorgeous smile, and the biggest heart! I remember the times we would all just be standing in a group and you would come up behind someone and just hug the heck out of them or hit them just out of fun! You were such a goofball!!! I miss it so much! You are, and always will be, greatly missed! I love you and miss you soooo very much! You will always be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers! I love you Jason Andrew Alcorta!
Love always and forever,

I was/am very fortunate to have such a handsome and bubbly cousin.  / Katie Fuentes (cousin)
June 26, 2005 

This is very tough and that's why I haven't responded in this till now.  I was/am very fortunate to have such a handsome and bubbly cousin. Spending time going to the movies and eating fast food was great with Jason.HMMM..
Not to mention Jason, you demolished my bed when we were younger and I had years to lay on a bed that breaks when two people sit on it, now reminds me of your awesome sense of humor that no one will ever forget.hehe. Whats great is you've acomplished so much things in your adolescent years and you were olny growing into a man with talents that would light up the atomosphere.Even now, I still feel you around,which is amazing.Jason thank you for you. You will never be forgotten.
I will pray monontiously for family and friends and hope things will get brighter.Hang in there guys.~~Thank you~~~

Jason I feel honored to have known you  / Mark Cross (Father of one girlfriend )
June 28, 2005 

Jason I feel honored to have known you. You were always very respectful around my house, and set a standard that will be hard for anyone to live up to. I always appreciated it when you took the time to talk to Fred and Jeffrey, even though you actually came over to see Jen. This may seem trivial to some but as a father it was never trivial to me. I never got the chance to Paintball with you, but I am sure we would have had a good time.

Jason
You are missed by many! Your leaving has left a void that is impossible to fill.

Please keep his parents in your prayers they are going through something a parent never wants to deal with...

I am still waiting for you to come thru the front door and say Hi Mom!  / Gladis Alcorta (Mother)
July 1, 2005
My dearest Jason,

I am still waiting for you to come thru the front door and say Hi Mom! You would then run to find me and just give me the biggest smile ever. Of course, you would be followed by at least two or more friends. Oh Jason. I am living in the day you passed away. I keep hoping this is a big nightmare, and that I will wake up soon. I know in my heart this is not so, I know you are in heaven, and making sure you are still very much in peoples lives. One thing I do not understand is how in the world did you get to meet so many people? Where did you get the time to spread so much love and happiness? Jason, the stories I hear about how kind you were, and how generous and compassionate you were are the stories that get me by another day. You were so loved and respected by children of all ages, young adults, and adults that it makes me feel so overwhelmed for my loss. How could I loose my precious child, my love? How could this have happened, to somebody who loved you so very, very, much? I hope I find the answers on why God felt he needed you more than the people here on earth that loved you so much. I pray everyday that you are adjusting in Heaven, and then I realize it is the people you left behind that have all the adjusting to do. One day I will see you again my beautiful, compassionate, loving son. One day soon I will be able to wrap my arms around you and give you the biggest hug, and you will smile at me with your beautiful smile. Oh Jason, I love you so much, and miss you tremendously, please continue to give me the strength I need to endure the pain I feel daily, Please Jason, I love you very much and I know I will see you again one day soon.

Love Mom

Baby Bro,  / Joseph Alcorta (Blood Brother )
September 5, 2005
Baby Bro,

I can’t believe it has been six months since you had to leave. It stills feels like yesterday. In this time I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on a lot of things. With all the pain, all the sorrow, all the hurt I feel from you passing. I always come back to the thought of how lucky I was to have you as my brother. I’m one of the fortunate ones who got to spend most of every passing day with you. I enjoyed every moment. You and I did so many different things: I’ll have more than enough happy memories to last me the rest of my life and then some. It’s a shame you can’t be around but the memories of your happy face, your loving smile, and your contagious laugh helps me get through each day. Thank you for everything you’ve given to me in your short life. I am eternally grateful.

I miss you Jason, but I love you more.
