Grace and Peace Donald and Elostine, baby Jonathan is with his heavenly father now, Jesus never promised a life free from storms, but he has promised to be with us in the midst of them and to bring us safely to the other side if we believe in him and rely on him. In your time of sorrow lean on him and he will get you through, just want you to know that you and your family are in my constant prayers. Your long time friend and Co-worker.

Jonathan is up in heaven with his Great Grandpa Kirby, sitting on his lap listening to his Irish jibberish and reaching for his tooth pick.

I am extremely sorry for your loss. Jonathan is healthy and happy with Jesus. Though words will bring little comfort at the moment, God can and will. Lean on Him for His strength and cradle yourself in His comforting arms.
I got to know Jonathan and Rhonda through Pat at White Castle.
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for comfort and peace for you.
Words can not express appropriately the sentiment I want to convey. After my daughter passed at 6 months of age, I remember what I experienced and, even though I have experienced the same type of loss, I can not put the appropriate words to the page to give you the comfort and peace you deserve.
No human can provide that, but God can.
God Bless you and your family.
