To the McHugh and Joyce families, I still think of Jon and his laugh all the time, he was a great friend and one of the funniest people around... I am back from England temporarily while my husband is deployed to have our first child, a little boy, who we are naming Dominic Jonathan... Just wanted you to know that he will not ever be forgotten... I am glad to have been able to have known him as a wonderful friend over the years.- Jillian (Nathan) Pulire

Dear Jane and family,
We were on vacation when you lost Jon and I couldn't believe the tragic news when I returned. I think of you all the way back to before even having Jon and then being at the Cape with him, Greg and Richard. He was a very handsome kid and full of fun. May God be good to you and give you the strength you need is all I can say. I pray for you all in this terrible time. He was such a great guy. You were wonderful parents.
Sincerely, Kathy and George Melvin

May you find comfort and solace in God's loving arms.
