Hi, I know that it's a little late to be posting this but, Hannah just showed me the website.......and i want you all to know that all of you are in my prayers.Tanner was a great kid, he could always bring a smile to your day. I really regret not getting to know him better than I had. From the little bit that I had known him, he seemed like a very nice and loving kid. We all will miss him and one day, we will get to see him again, so everytime that you think of him remember that we WILL see him again, and that day could be tomorrow or fifty years from now......but we will never forget him. I still feel like the is a dream, I just can't quite process this through my mind. There isn't a day that I live that I don't think about him, and I don't think that there ever will be a day that I don't. He will always be in our hearts.

I am so sorry about your loss. Tanner was a great person,no doubt. We'll all miss him. But just know that he is in Heaven with God,and is watching down on all of us. God had a plan for Tanner,and unfortunately this tragedy was a part of it. I was very,very fortunate to meet Tanner, and I hate that I hadn't known him longer. My family and I have been keeping you all in our prayers. Again, I am terribly sorry about his death. I'll continue praying for your family and everyone else who was lucky enough to know Tanner.God bless you all.

Dear Rhonda, Keith, and Cameron...
It has been a while since we have all seen each other, but our hearts still ache over the loss of a dear friend and former neighbor. I still remember the day that that me Tanner and Cameron all met...over that football, I will always remember those days of swimming, hanging out, and jumping on the trampoline. Tanner was taken away much to soon, but even though he is gone, I know that no time soon will he be forgotten. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers for a very long time.
Love always,
Bailey

Tanner-
I can't believe after all this time of us only seeing each other 2 or 3 times a month, you're gone. I'll keep coming up and you'll keep observing, but you won't be there to smear shaving cream on in the middle of the night. I remember when I got the fearless cd for my birthday, you sang along in the highest pitch you could. We didn't ever get into a conversation too deep but I always knew what you were thinking...ball. You were so active in every sport and it's a wonder you didn't get us all involved. We used to play airsoft all the time. I was on you're team once and you were my shield. I couldn't shoot anyone without being shot back so you were always right there beside me, covering for when I couldnt shoot fast enough. I wish this hadn't happened so quickly, if it hadn't you would probably be playing wii and yelling at us because Bevin wanted her wii remote back. The last time I saw you was at Wanda's house and you didn't want to take me and Richard back home. And I sent you a friend request on myspace Wednesday 24th. You never answered... I hope they have bagel bites and country music in heaven buddy, because if they do you'll be set. I love you!!! :)

Tanner was a great friend and I will miss him. I am so very sorry for the loss that his family is going through right now and I know there is nothing that anyone can say that will make it better but I hope they know that he was loved very much by so many of his friends. He was always someone that I could go to, he always knew how to cheer me up.

He was a sweet loving child who never let us get down no matter the circumstance. He was our little pranster and friend . He was a tough competitor with the heart of a champion. Kara , Ryan ,Misty and myself will never forget the impact he made on our lives. I can still hear him say Tony the Tiger Your Great!

It was great playing baseball with you. though i havent seen you in a couple years. im shocked at what happened. ill miss you


Posted at: 6/29/2009 7:03:36 AM By: Debbie Nichols

Rhonda, Keith, Cameron and Bevin,
My heart aches for all of you. When I first started working for Friends, Cameron and Tanner were the first kids I really got attached to. They reminded me so much of my nephew, Corey. Corey and Cameron became friends and Tanner was always right there too. My favorite memory of Tanner was at Eagleton Little League ballfield. We were watching Cameron and Corey play and Tanner came to visit. I introduced him to my mother and somehow in the conversation Tanner said she looked old. I asked him how old he thought she was and he said without hesitation that she's got to be at least a hundred! Now my mother who was about 60 was flabbergasted. We have reminded her of his comment repeatedly over the years. I will truly miss that smiling face and little chuckle. Love you all, Miss Debbie

Rhonda, Keith, Cameron, & little sister,
Where do I start? Tanner was an awsome youngman who loved life, friends, & family. I remember, Rhonda, when you'd bring him to school from the dentist, he'd always kiss & hug you!! He was always smiling and he loved working in the front office anwsering the phone and (mostly) playing on that computer. He will live forever in the hearts of all who loved him. I can't imagine what you all are going through..my heart goes out to all of you. I will continue to pray for all of you... Tanner had a short life but a HAPPY ONE, he knew he was loved..... Love, Mrs. Vickey

Dear Tanner,
You were one of my best friends in the whole world. When Cameron told me you were dead evrything else in the world didn't mean a thing to me and I seriously couldn't believe it. I wish you were still alive so bad and i feel like nothing can stop this horrible feeling inside me right now. I'm going to miss you so bad.
Yours Truly,
Ryan Pickett

Tanner,
God where do I start,
You were my little buddy,
I miss you so much, You will NEVER understand,
Anything you set your mind to you did,
And not just halfway, you put 110 percent into everything, you worked your little skinny butt off everyday, working on basketball, baseball, or on your house, you're going to be missed so badly, I know I can't get over it and want to wake up from this nightmare every minute, I know you're in a better place now, but I really wish your life wasn't cut so short, You were a truely awesome person, I don't think you could've ever hurt anyone, You were an awesome friend, an awesome sports star, and I can honestly say, an awesome brother, I will always think of you as my brother. I love you little buddy, I bet you're in heaven right now eating pizza rolls and listening to Waiting on a Woman, You were truely awesome,
Love,
Jordan,
Rest In Peace Tanner Lee Jameson July 1995- June 2009 (Too short)
