In 1980 Rodney left his home in Edmonton, Canada, to study at Gallaudet Univesity in Washington, DC. He left Gallaudet, with two degrees, in 1989 and moved to Toronto where he became a sign language teacher with the Canadian Hearing Society. A staunch advocate of American Sign Language, he was one of the best in his field. He had the admiration of colleagues and students alike.

Rod, worked closely with the deaf and gay / Lesbian community in Toronto. He was a counsellor and coordinator with the Aids Committee of Toronto’s Deaf Outreach Project and he was president of the Toronto Rainbow Alliance for the Deaf, an organization devoted to deaf consciousness raising for gay men and Lesbians.

Though ill himself, he was a loyal friend who helped many that were sick with HIV while they were dying. Rod was never seen to complain during his own draining ordeal with HIV. He enjoyed until the end the company of his many good friends, his family, whom he was very close to, and his partner Marcus Sullivan. Goodbye Rod. – MK

Hear Me Through My Vision

Come, calm your restless souls that’ve been tortured too long. The end is only the beginning and Rodney Leonard Jamiesonyou need not suffer for me anymore. My mind is alert and my soul has awakened with understanding. The body is damaged beyond repair and needs to rest. I Loved and Lived my life fully and acknowledge the end that comes with this realization. Beyond here lies a safe haven for all the restless souls who have suffered in loves name.

My spirit like yours is great and will live on in those whom I loved and who loved me. I hope I have left my mark in the hearts of those who truly cared. The passage of time coupled with understanding will heal the emptiness and pain in all our hearts.

Grieve not too long for this will do no justice to your souls, but instead remember the one spirit we all eternally share. Remember we are all soldiers of love and have our share in the evolution of humanity on earth. Have the courage to live your story and have the patience to listen to others as I have. For we are all on the same journey.

Be safe and secure in knowing we all have been given the opportunity to partake in the process of the story of life and be appreciative if you are strong enough to carry the challenge. The path we are all on will cross again, and again and make no mistake, I will be there to celebrate with all who have taken part in the quest for the holy grail.

My Dad was a great man, if he saw anyone without a shirt and it was his last shirt he had he would’ve given it to someone. He died when I was ten (10) years old. He was an acoholic, at which he could not help. He is the father of (3) three children total me, my brother, and my sister. He committed suicide. I know it was a tough decision for him, but I also know that he is alright and is in heaven. I don’t get to hug him or talk to him, or go fishing with him anymore, which is one of the most important things I miss. But the most impo- rtant thing I miss is having a dad. It gets tough. After my dad died my friends and family (on his side only) completely deserted me and my mom leaving us by ourself, except one cousin on his side which is about 50 years old. Her name is Kay Simmons, owner of Simmons Auto Parts of Alabama. She has been a true friend to us since then, and before. Since my dad has died I really became attatched to my mom, I go where she goes,when she goes. There isn’t anywhere she goes that I don’t. I don’t know whether or not I am clinging on to her because she is all I got, but I know if I lost her I would go crazy. She is the only parent I have left besides a step-dad at which I like. My dad was the best man I ever knew, we didn’t have much money but he was a hard worker and so was my mom at first he told my mom “no wife of mine is going to have to work, we’ll make it” but she went to work anyway, on her own free will. I am now about to be 15 years old July 5, I deal with being without my dad everyday. Always remember to respect your parents for you do not know your last minutes with them.

Missing you … loving you always

To the family of Katherine Jackson. I too lost my darling Mother last year from pancreatic cancer. I will most certainly leave the most beautiful pink roses for your Mother as I know she would like them. My Mother’s favourite colour was pink so I know that she would have liked to be able to send some flowers for your Mother. Prayers and time is about the only way to get through the grief. To be truthful, it never stops!!!! God bless you all.

Mother

“Time flies,”everyone says.
It’s frightening sometimes
to look in the mirror and see
the evidence of that.
So often, we don’t take a moment
to say what’s in our hearts,
and then, when it’s too late,
we wish we had.
I’m taking a moment now, Mom,
to tell you this…
When I was a child, there was
so much I couldn’t understand,
like how hard you worked
and how much you sacrificed
for our family.
There were dreams you had
to put on hold
and dreams that never came true.
You must have felt frustrated
sometimes, no doubt,
and at times even full of despair.
Yet you never gave less
than your best to us.
You didn’t have an exciting career
or beautiful clothes.
You never traveled the world
or drove a fancy car.
Every day, you looked after us,
worried about us, fed us,
and loved us,
without expecting anything in return.
You see, Mom, I know now
and understand
that you actually gave me two lives:
my own… and yours.

Mother,
Thank you so much for all you gave to me and to my children you were our “Sunshine”. You will be in our thoughts and prayers and memories forever. God Bless you Mom, be at peace and know I am sorry I was not there when you died, but we all were there to say good-bye to you, you would have been pleased. I miss you more than you would ever have imagined, and have “cried” more tears than you would have ever thought, but I am strong because of you. One day I believe we will be together again, but until then I keep you in my heart and see you in the faces of my children and will continue to love you forever.
Melanie
