This is a letter that Cory and Katie wrote to Jayden Dale and they asked me to read it at Jayden’s graveside service, which I did:

To our baby boy,

We were so excited to meet you from the day we found out we were pregnant. When we found out you were a boy we almost immediately knew we would call you Jayden. The images of who you would be were flashing through our minds daily; what color your eyes would be, how smart you’d be, how caring and compassionate you’d be and of course how you’d be a future disc golf champion. We could only imagine how athletic you would have been just like your grandpa Dale, which is how we decided on your middle name. When we were told about your condition it broke our hearts, and we soon realized that you were too perfect to be on this Earth at this time. We hope you know just how much we love and miss you, its going to be a rough road for a while but we will find comfort knowing that you are with your Father in Heaven now, watching over us. On the day you were born it seemed as if you were ready to come, that you knew it was time. Everything went so smoothly, that has been a great comfort to us. When you arrived and we were able to hold you in our arms and look at you, the first thing we noticed was just how perfect you are. Your nose was just so sweet and those hands and feet were the spitting image of your dad’s. You are our little piece of heaven and you have changed our lives forever. We hope you know how much of an impact you have made on so many lives, your mom and I have had so many people show love and compassion on your behalf, it is just amazing. You will remain in our hearts until the day that we get to hold you in our arms again and see that perfect face. We love you so much Jayden Dale Sharp, goodbye for now.

-Your mommy and daddy.

I’m very proud of both Cory and Katie! They’re amazing people. And I’m very grateful for all the people who were able to attend Jayden’s service. I’m especially grateful that our son, Skyler, and his family were able and willing to make the 13-hour drive from Monterey, CA to be there. Thank you!

Congratulations go to our son, Cory Sharp for winning the 2011 Full Throttle Challenge Disc Golf Tournament at Solitude Mountain Resort, August 19-21! Not only did he win the Pro Men’s Division, but he also set the new 27-hole course record at 15 under par! That means he beat the old course record by 4 strokes. Cool, huh?

What a delightful little boy!
