My deepest sympathy to all of Jon's family. It seems as if it were only yesterday that we were all attending Skyline High together. Time passes much too quickly.

Joe and Jana,
I am sorry to hear about Jon. I understand how it is probably hard to deal with, especially so soon after your father's passing.
I remember Jon as someone with a big heart, bright eyes and sincere smile, and somewhat carefree. He always gave a comforting hug and brought a smile to others.
Joe, do you remember the time we were at Old Faithful and Jon walked up behind us and gave us a big hug? We were so surprised to see him there. He spent a couple of hours with us, just talking and having a good time. His passing must be especially difficult for you to accept.
My thoughts are with you and I am hopeful that you can find comfort somehow.
Please take care,
Dot
