Jonas, you swept across the stage so quickly
In your mother’s womb turning to let us know time to come on stage,
In your father’s hand, your deep eyes, unused to the hardness of the world, looked at us, kindly
A dialogue of happiness and joy was enjoined with your arrival,
We were going to say more when you left, going to your next stage call,
But we keep talking about the wonder and preciousness of life here,
And what is next, your long legacy from a short Act I.
Time now to get ready for your Act II, come to the theater to see the little boy forever,
While I know even now you are sitting on my shoulder, reading these lines, preparing yours.
--Grandpa Terry

Dear Matt & Casandra,
I imagine that you're surprised to hear from us. I often would wonder to myself, "how is Matt and his wife doing?" I did some web research to see if I could find you and, long story short, my research eventually led me to this site. I was heartbroken to hear that you had a precious baby boy that didn't survive.
I shared the news with Bill and Sue and they too send their condolences. I can see from the other postings that your faith remains strong and that in itself is a triumph over Satan.
We all look forward to one day getting to meet Baby Jonas! Until then, "may the God of all comfort" continue to "comfort you in your tribulation" (2 Cor 1:3,4).
Love always,
Crystal & Greg Miller

Casandra and Matt,
I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you guys. I remember praying to Jehovah last year on the plane, hoping so much that whatever happened, all of us would continue to lean on him and not let the hurt of this system discourage us. I was really afraid of that. I didn't know what to expect. But, from the moment the doctor gave us the news, I think we all started praying. What else could we do but rely on Jehovah? He is the only thing that got us through this year and will continue to get us through this life. I'm so proud of all of us that we completely leaned on him and didn't let Satan win. No matter what Satan's system does, Jehovah will undo it. You guys have been such a good and faithful example. I love you so much and I'm so proud of you! When I think of you I think of Psalms 37:28. "Jehovah is a lover of justice, and He will not leave his loyal ones." Continue what you're doing and put all your trust in Jehovah. He will make everything right in the end and bring Jonas back to us! I love you!!

Dear Matt and Cassandra,
It seems I am struggling with more tears this time, as I write in your book, than almost one year ago, as I tried to find good words of consolation for your wounded hearts after the loss of your precious baby boy. It was Art that brought the word to us, that your little one was torn away from you. And we were all in shock and so heartbroken for you! I didn't know that in just a little over 7 months later, we would lose him too. Nothing is sure in this life, we must appreciate each moment we have with those we love. That is hard to do, day to day. Now you see our Faith in the ressurection is really being tested! Mine is being tested more than it ever has, and some might find it strange that I would say that, because I've lost before. But, this hurt cuts the deepest of any wound, I've ever had. So, now the test is really on us, you see. We must not fail, as Anne Parke said in her words to you, because they will be waiting for us there. They will need us there, and miss us there if we fail, but Jehovah cannot let us fail! We are the only ones that can do that, but we won't! "I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come, My help is from Jehovah, the Maker of heaven and earth, He cannot possibly allow your foot to totter, The One guarding you cannot possibly be drowsy" {Psalms 121:1,2} I am trying very hard to cling tight to these words. I am so thankful that we know the beautiful ressurection promise. If I did not, I don't know how I could go on. Let us thank our kind Father Jehovah that He has given us this hope, and very soon now we will all get to "make it through together" to see its realization. All our love and thoughts, and prayers are with you both. Another one of your moms from way back when.
All My Love Lois

My heart is still sad yet happy
How can that be?
Tears of sorrow etched in my face
Yet a smile I wear can you see
My heart is heavy for the lose of Jonas
And all the heartache it brings
Though at the same time my heart is real happy
To the resurrection hope I cling
It’s said a candle burns at both ends
Is short lived and won’t last the night
But my dear neighbors and friends
It gives us such a lovely light
Though Jonas was here, Like the candle; a short while.
He left you a lovely light, A Jonas Modglin smile.
So treasure that light in your minds eye
Memories only you can see
But in the paradise your memories will be real
His light will forever be.
Love

JONAS’ RESURRECTION DAY
Jonas, grandma couldn’t write a poem
The day you past away
But decided to write one now
To be read on your resurrection day.
Everyone’s here from far a wide
It’s you they want a glimpse
All the relatives have formed a circle
And made a human fence
Your mommy and daddy have held you
Aunt Kris and Grandpa too
Now it’s my turn to snuggle
You wrapped in your blanket of blue
You looked so sweet in mommy’s arms
Nursing till content
Tears of joy fell from her eyes
A long awaited event
Daddy held you, oh so long
He wrote that song he was singing
Your eyes starting back at him
His face aglow and beaming
When Aunt Kristina finally held you
Her voice cried out with glee:
“Little Jonas James”, she cried,
“I believe you look like me”
Then came Grandpa Tim’s turn
Now that was a sight to behold
Not a dry eye in the house
As you listened to the stories he told
At last it’s my turn to hold you
Let’s take a walk outside
Look at all Jehovah’s creation
My little bundle of pride
This is the paradise Jehovah promised
The one in the hospital we prayed for
With no more tears, death or sorrow
My Jonas I adore
Look at all these animals
Elephants, zebra and bear
And that’s the big blue ocean
Dolphins and whales live there
What? Why are you fussing?
And from your diaper what’s that smell?
“Grandma Cloise, Grandpa Terry”
With a wink I began to yell
Wait someone’s tapping me on the shoulder
They want to hold you too
Oh Jonas! This is Debra!
Tears of joy for both of you
Mommy and Daddy are now content
As in their arms you lay
And we thank Jehovah he brought you back
On this, your Resurrection Day
Jonas, I hope you liked this little poem
Cause I wrote it just for you
I love you, oh so very much
Love, Grandma Jamie Sue

Dear Matt & Cassandra,
We cannot tell you how often you have been and still are in our thoughts and prayers. We both have lost loved ones in death and know the pain that brings but we can not begin to imagine the devastation you have suffered over the loss of your child. Jehovah our loving father does however fully understand. Take comfort in knowing that one day he will comlpletely remove the pain you now feel. We pray you are blessed as Moses was instructed to bless the Israelites at Numbers 6:24-26 "May Jehovah bless you and keep you. May Jehovah make his face shine toward you, and may he favor you. May Jehovah lift up his face toward you and assign peace to you." With love, Pat & Ava

As both of you will never forget the beautiful details of Jonas and his short life neither will Jehovah.

I for my part will continue to think of you everyday and will keep you in my prayers....

IT HURTS US WHEN WE LOOSE A FAMILY MEMBER &
ITS HARD WHEN WE LOOSE A FRIEND
BUT IT COMFORTS US TO HAVE THE BROTHERHOOD
WHO STAY’S WITH US – THROUGH THICK AND THIN
AND THEN OUR GOD JEHOVAH REACHES OUT
AND TOUCHES OUR VERY SOUL
PROVIDES US WITH A RANSOM WITH
THE NEW SYSTEM AS OUR GOAL
I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN DRAWN CLOSE AS A FAMILY
JUST BY DOING THE THINGS YOU DO
AND MAY GOOD MEMORIES LINGER ON
FOR YOU CASANDRA & MATHEW TOO.
TILL THE NEW SYSTEM- LOVE DAVID

Dearest Matt and Casandra,
There are no words that any human can speak that will take away your pain in this most difficult time of your lives. But our Kind and Loving God Jehovah has promised us the day, when "no resident will say I am sick". (Isa. 33:24) The day when our loved ones will be given back to us, and there will be nothing to mar our lives, and hinder our joy. We pray for you that Jehovah will comfort your hearts, and hold you in his loving arms until that most wonderful time in the new world. We are so happy we were able get a glimpse of Jonas James Modglin. His beautiful face reflected the beauty of both of you. Until that day comes, when you can hold him in your arms once again, let the "God of all comfort, the Father of tender mercies" (1 Cor. 1:3) give you both the strength to carry on faithfully. Know that our prayers and thoughts are with you!
All our Love Art & Lois Tanner
