Jonathan is a peace now in a place where God will protect him. He will have lots of love and hugs while playing with other little angels who are gone too soon.
Jonathan's tragic and senseless death hopefully has made families realize how children must be better protected to keep them safe.
Jonathan will be remembered as a happy child through the thoughts of his classmates and sharing of caring stories and happy pictures from his uncle.

This sweet child has touched so many lives in just days. To Johnathon's Family may you find comfort in the Lord. He will see you through. Little Johnathon is enjoying unlimited time talking with God.

Jonathan,
I know that God is holding you tightly in his loving arms now. Your story has weighed on my mind and heart since I read it last week. You deserved far better in this life than you ever got, and I know you are in a better place. It's the only solace a father like myself can take knowing you are finally safe and is soaring high in the heavens now. May the Lord Bless you and your family.

As I read the entries in this guest book, I see vividly on paper how many people have been touched by this senseless tragedy. I too was touched in a profound way by the loss, even though I did not know Jonathon or his family. There are no words to comfort a parent at a time like this. Only God can heal our hearts over time. This story has given me pause to stop and count my blessings. May our God and Saviour give you the grace to move on from here, Jonathon will not be forgotten.
