I am very sorry for your loss not only to lose a nephew but then just years later to lose your own son. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

So sad, when will we get any one to listen but we must have faith in each other that by spreading the word even if we only change one life from ending then its been worth it. 3local youths near my home where killed in a car accident, 3 young men speeding. I ask myself the same question when will they learn. Well some may not and in Dion Case he was so in love with his ex girlfriend that his heart ruled his head, yet in his heart he had his love by his side and was not alone xx keep strong

[gatewayapartments]

I have just watched the video and I am just so overcome with sadness for your loss, yet your strength and love shines through even the darkest of clouds. My birthday is 8th April as well and I will say a pray for your Nephew and Son on that day. I promise that I will always when possible try and promoted your wish to educate people of driving. Well take care you have a wonderful family and I am sure your son and Nephew are together looking down at you with Love!!!!

Regards

I put this together in December 2006 uploaded on 14 December 2006 in time for Christmas, Dion helped me put this together, and despite this it still didn't save Dion, he was gone less than a year later

i am so sorry for your loss. remember he is whatching over you in Heaven and you'll see him again ^^ may he rest in peace.

my mom used to baby sit this girl named Erin and whene she was able and old enough to drive, she also died in a car-crash, may she rest in peace.

and may drivers drive safe, expessially in this snowy weather. safe driving!

[RODEONan]

You are a strong womam! Turning sadness into something good ^_^ Watching this video I noticed that your nephew had the look of an old soul. IDK, but looking in his eyes and at his face I get that feeling of looking at an old soul.

I'm sure that your 2 angels are looking down on you and are giving you the strength to go on. ^.^

My prayers to you and your family.

Peace!

Very nice video. I lost my nephew at the age of 18 4 months ago. He also got killed due a car crash. I miss him so much..........i wish you the best. Regards Iceage

[mumandtwins]

I lost my son nearly 4 months ago, 8 August 2007 not a nice thing to go through as an Aunty and now a Mother

[iceage201]

My nephew died on the 03 August. It must be very hard for you. I feel so sorry

[mustanggurl79]

Wat a beautiful tribute..

Im so sorry 4 ur loss.

[mumandtwins]

thankyou

[matsmatts]

Sorry for your loss, as of july 1st this year the laws do get a little tougher, mainly to P platers. I was involved in a serious car accident 4 years ago,i was behind the wheel being stupid, i was lucky to survive, il never take life for granted again.

[mumandtwins]

Jamie would have been 25 yrs old this year, a lot of wasted years, hopefully my 18 yr old son will get his P Plates after 1st July

[mumandtwins]

well my 18 year old son got his drivers license on 24 July 2007 and was dead in a car accident on 8 August 2007 just 2 weeks later.

[Bleu88]

Iam so sorry for your loss..Iam 16 and taking the driving part this week... I never for one second forget the possibility I might die. May he find peace and so can you.

[mumandtwins]

most drivers DON'T want to get involved in accidents, the problem is with overconfident teenagers who think they are invincible on the roads, and the group mentality once one of them get the wheels. Drive Safe and yes it is possible to die this way and yes It could be you, a vehicle is a lethal weapon and deserves respect. Drive safe and arrive safe :)

[mumandtwins]

and rest on Long trips too fatigue is fatal

[ralphcorbin]

I am so sorry for your loss I have two kids myself one boy 15 and a girl 20. I don't know how I would ever make it without them. My prayers go out to you and your family.

[mumandtwins]

it does get easier as time goes by, but it is always there, I have 2 learner drivers at the moment, one over confident boy and the other a cautious girl

[mumandtwins]

over confident boy died just 2 weeks after getting his P Plates. wierd looking at these comments after his death

Sorry for your loss...so sad.

[frankxinyu]

Sorry for your loss......

[sweetjw]

the song "Forever 17" by Zoegirl is for her.. sorry about that

[mumandtwins]

Jamie in my mind will be Forever 17 years old.

[outlawq19]

sorry for your loss

[mumandtwins]

Thanks so young to die if you want have a look at my other videos so you can see the car accident footage from the local tv news when it happened, not for the faint hearted but I believe it is so important that the message has to get out that teenagers need tougher driving laws. Jamie was a good kid, he got his friend to drive because he didn't feel up to driving that night.
