Paul and Family,
"Stunned" is almost too simple of a word to describe my feelings when I heard of your son's passing. Although I had not met him, you spoke often about your son(s) and I could see from your face the joy they give you. I pray you find comfort and solace in your time of grief.

Dear Paul, Deb, & Shawn,
What can be said to you as parents, and to you Shawn as his brother! Your boy's had always been a big part of our families lives growing up, & having fun playing with Jimmy & Josh. It seems like yesterday, then in a flash Jason grew up to be fine young man, making his own path in developing his skills as a fine tradesman. We will always cherish the fine memories of Jason's smile, wit, & humor. He was always respectful and always made us laugh. God bless you, and put in a good word for me!! As we all will miss you so!!! XOXOXOX & much love, Uncle Jim, Aunt Diane, Cousins Jimmy & Josh
