I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
Happy Birthday Jon!

Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong

I would like to tell Jon's entire family how truly sorry I am for your loss. He was a remarkable young man and I know he will be greatly missed by all of you, but his loving, gentle spirit will live on in all of you and give you peace and strength. I know he is up in Heaven right now watching over each of you, and rejoicing in the fact that he is with his Lord and Saviour. God Bless each of you.

For David and Jon
Father, son
Locked as one
In this empty room
Spine against spine
Yours against mine
Till the warmth comes through
Remember the breakwaters down by the waves
I first found my courage
Knowing daddy could save
I could hold back the tide
With my dad by my side
Dogs, plows and bows
We move through each pose
Struggling in our separate ways
Mantras and hymns
Unfolding limbs
Looking for release through the pain
And the your eyes are open
Looking up above
He too is dreaming of his daddy's love
With his dad by his side
Got his dad by his side
Can you recall
How you took me to school
We couldn't talk much at all
It's been so many years
And now these tears
I'm still your child
Out on the moors
We take a pause
See how far we have come
You're moving quite slow
How far can we go
Father and son
With my dad by my side
With my dad by my side
Got my dad by my side
With me

My prayers are with the family and all the people who were touched by Jon. I had one opportunity to meet Jon. My husband had always spoke so highly of him, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Once Jon started talking to me, I understood very well what my husband meant...unconditional kindness, compassion, humor, and warmth. Jon lives on in his family and friends....those who carry his memory on with kindness and compassion towards others....
