JJ and Melanie, I simply cannot begin to imagine what you two are going through right now. Having nearly lost Drew when he was 5 years old to a stroke showed me how fragile life is, and that God is ultimately in control. I know you have heard this over and over these past few days, but it is true. This accident did not take God by surprise. He is in control. Yes, I truly believe that He feels your pain, and that He cried with you. He felt your loss. But, He has Cooper in God’s arms now, and there is no pain or sorrow for him at all….and, you know you’ll see him again. That brings peace that passes understanding, the peace that only God can bring.
I love you two with all my heart, and I want you to know that. Even though I am several hundred miles away, I am with you every minute. Please know that. You are being marinated in prayer, so receive the peace that only God can provide during these days and the days to come. Always know that you are loved with an everlasting love…a love that will not go away. No matter what.
All my love,
Ed Smith (for Marie, too).

I just heard about Samuel Cooper Jasper through Don Wildom and Buddy Smith was kind enough to post the obiturary.
I pray that the Lord’s presence be a constant source of strength and comfort for you and your family always.

JJ and Melanie, we have you in our hearts and prayers. It’s been years since we’ve seen you, JJ, and I don’t believe we have ever met you, Melanie, but when we heard of little Cooper’s death, our hearts were just broken. We know he is with Jesus, and we rejoice with you in that. But we know that your hearts are broken and your arms empty. We pray that you experience the sweet, strong presence of the Living Lord in coming days and weeks.
Blessings and much love,

My prayers are with your family! I experienced great loss 7 years ago when I lost my husband to cancer. The pain was great, though I know it can’t compare to losing a child. God carried me and I pray He will carry all of you. My heart is broken for you. I am reminded to hold my children and new husband a little tighter. We will be lifting you up to Jesus!!!

Dear JJ, Melanie, and girls: Our hearts were broken when we heard of little Cooper’s death. We met you all at the CWV family gathering in Branson Mo this past April. we could tell Cooper was such a joy to you all. We lost a 5 y/o son in 1981 to Reye’s Syndrome; the grief is so deep, yet the comfort of our Lord and Savior was greater. Cling to His promises, rest in His arms, and trust each day to Jesus. Col 1:9-12 & Eph 1:15-21 brought great comfort to us. We hope they will to you all, also. You all are in our prayers during these very very difficult days. Love Stan & Beth Osborne, Wichita, Ks.

Jj, we’ve never met, or even spoken, but as I’ve listened to you over the years I’ve come to regard you as a friend. I weep for your family today, and have thought how blessed your son was to have a mom & dad who loves Jesus so much, and who always loved their children so well. I remember rejoicing with you and your girls when Cooper was born and your delight in God’s goodness in giving such a gift. I thought then, that there was one little guy that would not want for attention! My prayer is that you & all of your family will be enveloped in the deep endless love of Jesus, and that the Holy Spirit will guard your heart, bearing witness that Cooper lives today according to his true nature, in the presence of the Lord.

Just think Cooper is sitting on the right hand side of God and he will always be looking down on all of you.

My heart ached this morning when I heard the news of Cooper when I was coming to work. I’ve listened to JJ for over 10 years on my way to work every morning so I’ve listened to the girls and Cooper grow up. May the Lord keep you and give you peace that passes all understanding during this hard time.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:14 am
After I heard what had happened, I wanted to turn the radio on AND I didn’t want to – I just didn’t know how the AFR family could handle going on with “programming” when you all were in such pain. One of the first songs I heard was “Held” and it brought tears but was like a word from God – praying that you all are “held” today.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:18 am
A note from another stranger/friend from the radio/sister in the Lord…
We met you and Melanie when you spoke in Las Vegas, NM a long, long time ago.
What a wonderful life little Cooper must have lived on earth, in the heart of such a joyful and loving and Christ-centered family.
I have no words, but I promise to pray. And pray. And pray.
Your sister in Jesus,
Susie

JJ:
I was so saddened to hear of Cooper’s death. Your radio show brightens our lives every morning while we are getting ready for work and I feel like I am acquainted with you and your family. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:56 am
JJ, Melanie & Girls,
As I pulled into the parking lot for work today, I hear this news of Cooper. At first I was crushed. But then God allowed me to see the Jasper family being squeezed by God’s graceful arms. This is a difficult road for your family, but God is a loving God. He never leaves us and I know you know that. I can imagine 5 year old Cooper looking down with a big smile and saying, “Squeeze them again.”
I have never met you in person, only through AFR. But I feel as if I know you. Thank you for the time you have taken to teach us JJ. Melanie, thank you for putting up with him.
We have 4 girls and we are praying for you.
In His Image,

Please know that there are friends from North Dakota who will uphold you in prayer today and for many, many months to follow. There are no words that can be spoken to lessen your grief, but pray fervently that you will feel God’s peace. My boss, Daniel Johnson, wrote a book “When You Ask Why.” The subtitle is “It’s okay to ask.”

My heart sank when I heard of the tragic loss of sweet Cooper. Having lost a daughter and facing a very close call with my son, I understand the pain you feel this moment. So many are suffering with you, but also praising God for the good He will bring from this. Your precious boy is with God at this very moment, sitting at the foot of His throne, praising our Father in that perfect childlike way. Our human nature wants to hold them forever, but God’s plan is so much more perfect than we can ever comprehend. May He bless and keep you through this trying time in your lives. JJ, you are such an inspiration to all who listen to Christian radio. Keep up the great work and know that your family is being lifted in prayer every second of every day.

I feel as though I know each one of you personally. I have listened to AFR since before Lauren was born. My heart breaks with you. Know that my friends have been asked to pray for your family.
Oh wondrous Saviour Who art mine May my small hand remain in Thine, That I not independent be But anchored solely, Lord in Thee!

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” Romans 8:26
May God use people as well to intercede in prayer on behalf of you and your family. I’m so sorry for you loss and my heart aches for you. May God somehow bring His Glory out of this situation.
With deepest sympathy,

You help so many, I wish there was something I could do for you all. I can, and will pray, until you see him again.

You’re family even tho we’ve never met personally. We love the family stories you tell and can just see you guys and the love you all have for eachother. May God continue to be with you and your family. There’s a song that I listened to as I went through a difficult time and I found such comfort in it. It’s “Through” by the Gaithers.
Remember this…God will make a way when there seems to be no way.

There probably no words that can ease your pain right now, however; I believe that if, through these horrible times, you will consistantly remind yourself that ‘GOD IS IN CONTROL” – this will bring you peace. And I hope and pray that if something like this happened to me, I would also remember HE is in control.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Dear Jasper Family,
The Lord be near you, may you feel his arms hold you and hug you as I wish I could do for you right now. I don’t know you all, but I have heard JJ on the radio for years, since the first child was born. I praise the Lord for your testimony& thank you for teaching Cooper about Jesus. You will be with him again.
with love and prayers… Donna

JJ, Melanie, Lauren, Sadie and Maddie,
You all well know that though we must grieve here below, Cooper’s death is a tragedy only on this side of the veil. To have been born – wanted and welcomed – into such a wonderful family as yours, then to devote five years to fun and friends and family and faith, and then to go quickly to sleep in his daddy’s arms and wake up in his Heavenly Father’s arms … well, dear ones, you and the One who loves him most gave Cooper an exceedingly rare privilege.
Blessings,

From the first day I heard about Cooper, I haven’t been able to find words to express the feelings. You have been a part of my life for a long time, through many trial and tribulations. I would travel to work every day, morning and night, with your station streaming through with such helpful words of love and god’s wisdom. Finally, today seemed like the right time to share with you about what, I believe is god, kept nagging me to say. The story of Jobe’s life keeps coming to my mind. No matter how hard and how extensive the loses, he never lost his faith. It is our humanity that makes us weak and focus on “our” loses, plus the closer we get to the lord the harder the adversary works on splitting us up. Never letting him, should be the focus and in turn, I believe the pain will be cushioned. With time, the pain will be replaced with loving, fond memories and thoughts of how blessed we were to even have had Cooper in our lives.
Peace be with you,
Hannah

Dearest JJ, one of my best pals ever, and to your wife and three sweet daughters,
Debbie Carter called me Saturday and told me of the tragedy. I am at a loss for words to tell you how devastated I am feeling for you. I can’t imagine your loss and pain. I was reading through some of these messages and thought about the amazing and overwhelming influence you have had on a gazillion people, JJ. God has used you in a mighty way my friend. If ever there were prayers beseeching Heaven for a beloved brother and his family, it is now I am telling you. I thought about Steven Curtis Chapman’s loss and now yours. It is so hard to make sense of it. I have to believe “God is God, and I am not.” What a delight Cooper must have been. I wish I had met him!! JJ this was God’s timing and don’t ever ever let yourself think otherwise. I pray with all my heart that the love of Jesus will overwhelm you and give you hope at this time of unbelievable grief. Someday you will take a breath and not feel the pain so intensely. God will heal you and your loved ones. I am here if you need a shoulder to cry on. Celebrate Cooper and his zest for life. He sounds a lot like you JJ. Now Heaven is blessed with this wonderful little boy. Much love to you and your family. God’s peace and comfort hold you now and always. Your friend forever, Jacinta

I am so sorry for your loss of your sweet Cooper. My husband and I have lost 2 children in the past 2 years. Will in 2006 and our little girl, Cooper, just 4 weeks ago. Losing a child is the unimaginable, even to those of us who walk the journey daily. I believe that God has a reason for making our children angels, but no reason or words can ever be enough for our pain right now. For now we will just have to hold close to the memories and love our children gave us, and know that we will one day see them again and all our tears will be gone. I lift your family up to Heaven’s throne and hope that your Cooper can play in God’s playground with my Will and Cooper.

July 24th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
JJ, Mel, and Girls, it has been one week today, since your precious Cooper entered heaven and became the blonde beautiful angel that he is. I remember telling you Melanie, that I believe that God is going to come to get us all soon.. When that day does come, you will see your precious son, and you will never again feel the heavy heart you have today!!.. but until that time, you must know that your entire family has touched millions of lives! Millions! In return, those people have had you in constant prayer, because they too, believe that God will keep His promise of love and peace to us. I pray you feel love and peace today. I hope to see you soon. I love you.
Still Praying,

J. J., Melanie, and the girls,
I heard about Cooper yesterday. I had been away on a youth trip all last week and didn’t know til then. I immediately began praying for you. I have listened to you so much over the last few years. Actually saw you at an event one time. I have listened to your care and concern through encouragement through devotionals and through laughter. You’ve been there for us through the radio for years and it is my turn to encourage you. By no means can I ever begin to imagine what you are going through. Nothing I could say would even seem adequate. I thought about something I heard you day the other day. I heard you telling someone on the radio about a couple of weeks ago that Cooper thought you were going to bring back a saxophone from your trip and you were wondering why he thought it was like a Christmas present and not a souvenier that you would bring back. It made me start to think. I can imagine he is with the angels and maybe he is playing that saxophone along with their harps. Just knowing you and how you speak of your family, I know Cooper had such a wonderful life, even for such a short time. I will be continuing to pray for you all. May God hold on to you through this difficult time.
July 31st, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I was looking at my little note card on my desk and it says: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8
I just know in my soul that he was pure in heart and that he is seeing God. May God give you all the comfort, strength and grace to go forward in life.
Love a caring listener!

We are so very sorry to learn that you are separated from Cooper. The reunion will be glorious, but we know you are currently struggling with sorrow. We have been so blessed by your mother-in-law’s columns (Everyday Reflections by Kandi Anderson) in the SunHerald. Your loss and her inspired words have given us pause to reflect on what a wonderful privilege it is to enjoy the company of family and friends. We never know when God will call us home.
We continue to pray for you and your family.

Dear JJ and Melanie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Cooper. Nothing I can say will ease your pain, but I know a loving Heavenly Father who knows the pain you are going through because He too lost His son, just for us. He loves you very much and is with you through all that you are facing each day. My prayers are with you so much.

JJ & Family,
My heart still aches for you all. I have 5 children of my own and I cannot imagine your pain. I like so many others was in shock when I heard, wanted to write, but didn’t know what to say. Even though we have never met, we are your family. JJ, I have been listening to you for so long and have gone thru the births of all your children, the building of your house and so on. A week or so before this happend you were talking about fishing with your son in your pond and my immediate prayer was for the safety of your son around that pond. You and your family and everyone at AFR are always in our prayers. Love you and thank you for your faith in Christ. It really shines.
