Today marks 7 years since you were taken from everyone who loved and adored you. I remember when we went to the ranger game with Suman and her friend. We didn't watch much of the game because we were talking about our futures and the goals we wanted to reach. We went back to your house and your dog had torn up an entire package of tp! All everyone could do was laugh:) your laugh was contagious. I think of you always and hope your family and Suman are doing well.

I can't tell you how sorry I was to hear of Jonas' death. I never met him, but Glen talked about him a lot when we worked in psychiatry together. I knew he was a great kid just from what Glen said. You have my heartfelt sympathy. God bless you and keep you.

Because our last names are close in the alphabet, Jonas sat directly behind me in most classes from 7th to 12th grade. We picked on each other like siblings, got in trouble together several times for talking in class and ultimately became friends. I saw Jonas and Keith out many nights after high school and he was always the same old Jonas, goofy, happy and kind. I am so sorry for your loss and his untimley death. I pray that God will embrace you with His grace and love during this difficult time. Jonas will remain in my heart and Suman and family will remain in my prayers. God bless you all!

I worked with you for a brief moment about 4 years ago. I remembered how much you loved and spoke highly about Jonas. I remembered how much you were looking forward to be married to him and have a good life with him. I am so happy that you got your wish and so devastated that it ended so soon. I am so sorry for your loss. Your whole family are in my prayers.

I was Jonas' Latin teacher at Paschal High School, where I had the privilege of teaching him all four years of his high school career. I appreciated and remember his dedication, his humor, and his cheerfulness. He was an excellent student and a great guy. I am so sorry that he is gone; his family and friends are, and will continue to be, very much in my thoughts and prayers.
Sandra Fann

I am so deeply saddened by the turn of events that took this young man in the prime of his life. Though justice will prevail it will not bring Jonas back. You do have all your wonderful memories and NO one can take those away from you. I did not have the privilage of knowing Jonas but from reading all these entries I know he was a wonderful person. This world is a better place for having him here for 28 years and a sadder place now that he is gone. I hope his family will consider doing a website in memory of their son and husband. Let the rest of the world know what a wonderful man he was through pictures and stories.
Keith Cooper
October 22, 2006
To Suman, Judy and Glenn, you all know how much Jonas meant to me. I was priveleged to know him for 20 years. He was my best friend, and more than that, he was a brother. He was one of the main reasons I wanted to move back to Texas from Virginia. I'll always remember his laugh, and I'll cherish my Jonas memories and stories. He was the best friend that I've had or will ever have. God bless him, and God bless you all.

To Jonas' Family,
I was a employee at putt putt for a little over a year, Jonas was the first manager I ever talked to, I needed to know where to get an application. HA. He was a wonderful person to be around he always made me laugh. He even took to me lunch one time. I did end up quitting and now i regret it. I never would have thought this could happen to such a good hearted person. I am deeply sorry for your loss. He will be missed not only by me but all of the putt putt family.
Love you Jone Jone.

Dearest Judy, Glen, Suman and family,
You know my prayers and love are with you. Judy, my wonderful friend of so many years, I'm holding you closely to my heart.
Nice things are often said about a person, after they leave this world.In Jonas's case they are true.
I was in the fortunate position of being present at Jonas's birth , of seeing Judy and Glen welcome him to this world with such total love, joy and commitment.
He was a remarkably gentle, kind and sweet soul from day one, and with the loving, mature care and guidance of his parents, those qualities continued to shine through.
I know he is in the loving care of the Lord who hears our prayers.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Althea Crosby Bosworth

I met Jonas when he worked at the Putt Putt in Arlington many years ago. We became friends after that and he was always kind and always made me smile. I had not talked to him in a few years and heard of his leaving us at such an early age. I am very saddened and heartbroken knowing that something so horrible happened to such a wonderful person. May we be filled with joy in our hearts knowing that he is watching over us from Heaven.
Alyssa Powell

Everyone that works at Putt-Putt becomes a family to everyone else so when we loose someone its like loosing apart of our selves. I know I feel this way very strongly. Jonas was a great manager and a great friend. He will be greatly missed by everyone and he will never be forgotten. Jonas will forever be with all of us in our hearts.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day

To the Palace of Bliss-Dreams."

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripen grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circle flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there;
I did not die.
This poem gave me comfort in a time of sorrow. I pray it will you too.
Darrell & Lisa Richardson

We are so very sorry for the loss of your precious Jonas. We can both recall vividly the pride with which Glenn spoke of his only son and beautiful wife, Suman. Know that the entire Cherry family is loved, prayed for and thought of often in our home. When the days seem too much to bear, and none of this makes sense, know that He understands your pain, anger and sorrow. Look to the Lord to see you through until the glorious day you will be reunited with Jonas in Heaven.
