Shirley, Robert, Jacob, Matthew, and Julia:
My heart hurts. Jonna was such a sweet great nephew. I think I will miss his beautiful smile the most. I don't know who will come to Ralph and borrow my 4 wheeler, but I'm sure it will be done. I know you have such great sorrow, as do I, but we must lean on God. He has brought us through many trails in the past and He will keep walking beside us. I love you, Kack

Robert and Shirley,
I don't know if you remember me but I used to be an Anderson and knew Robert from the "Careline" days. I cannot begin to express my sympathy to you and your family. I am one of the School Resource Officers and saw Jonathan at TCHS. You are going through every parent's nightmare and I pray for you all every day. This has touched me as much or more than anything I have dealt with in my 27 years in Law Enforcement. I know that God will comfort you, guide you and give you the strength to come through this tragedy. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Dewayne,
I know I have not seen you since we were in high school but when I saw your son's obituary in the paper on sunday my heart and prayers when out for you. I have a 18 yr old son and I cannot imagine how I would handle losing him. May God keep and sustain you and He will hold you in the palm of his hand thru all of this hurt.

There are no words that can express how sorry I am for your loss. I cannot imagine what you and your family have and will go through in the following months.
