Jonny, I thought of you today. I remember you as a child: your energy, your wild eyes and goofy grin, your enthusiasm, your unexpected answers to questions in Sunday School at St. John's Episcopal Church....I loved knowing you.
Celia and Eliza, I remember you both fondly too. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad and your brother. If you're reading this and you remember this old "church lady," please know that I'd love to hear from you - what are you up to? How are you finding meaning and joy in life? I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts now (still a church lady) but get back to Colorado at least once a year. Love, Cathy [email protected]

I did not know Jonny very well, I had only met him once or so, but many of my friends were incredibly close to him and told me so much about him. He sounded like such a wonderful person inside and out and I send my prayers to his family. Rest in peace, Jonny. You will be missed.

I did not know Johnny, but he was friends with my daughter and her friends. Their grief demonstrates the love and friendship they had for Johnny. His loss will have a life-long effect on their lives. My best wishes for strength as you walk through life with this profound loss.
