A letter from Momma Prosser to TBH......
To all of Jason’s dear, dear friends and extended family on TBH:
Words cannot express the gratitude and deep respect Jerry, Stephanie, and I, as well as all of Jason’s family, feel for every one of you on TBH. These past two weeks have been a nightmare that parents hope they never have to endure. When the warden called that day and told me that Jason had collapsed at work and then again ten minutes later to tell me Jason didn’t make it, I didn’t know how we were going to make it through this. We headed to Rosharon and into the loving arms of the Scribner and Tippit families. They cried with us, laughed with us, and helped us make it through that first night. Little did we know that these wonderful people were only a few of the many that we would meet through TBH. Parents always hope that their children turn out to be caring and compassionate people. The comments posted on the Green Screen attest to the fact that Jason was both. We knew Jason loved the TBH forum, but did not realize what a wonderful family he had found there. When the funeral director told us that TBH had covered all of the funeral expenses, we were speechless (even though Joey told us that first night that was the intent). We found it hard to believe that people who didn’t even know us could be so kind and generous. As appreciative as we are of that, it is nothing compared to the comfort we received from the love and admiration each of you expressed for Jason. Thank you so much for all of the cards and beautiful flowers. Thank you Jeff for the wonderful slide show at Jason’s viewing. To each of you who attended the funeral service—either in person or in spirit—thank you. The pain is still great, but your love and support make it almost bearable. To Tim—thank you for the wonderful service. It was a celebration of Jason’s life and the only thing better would be if he were there to join in. It was the kind of gathering he enjoyed. To Mindy—thank you for your beautiful angel voice providing the music. It was both comforting and uplifting. I wanted to mention by name all of the people who were so kind to us throughout this, but I’m afraid I would leave someone out. Just know that we appreciate everything each of you did for us. Continue to pray for us. Today was especially hard. We had to pick up Jason’s death certificate at the funeral home and it seemed so final. Tomorrow we begin the legal process of settling Jason’s estate. Digger is doing better. He seems to have his good days and bad days—like the rest of us. I know that these words do not adequately express our appreciation of and deep respect for you, but they are the best I can do. Do us one more favor. Hug your kids often and love them with every fiber of your being. Life can come to an end much too soon. If we can ever do anything for any of you, do not hesitate to let us know. Nothing we do could ever compare to what you have done for us. May God richly bless each and every one of you and hold you in the palm of His hand.
With much love and deep regard,
Jason Prosser’s Family
