I am so sorry for the loss of Jason. You and Mia and family are much in my thoughts and prayers. We love you and please know that you are in our hearts.

August 5, 2009

Family, I never met Jason and saying I am sorry does not even begin to help the pain you are going thru only God can help you over this, do not hesitate to ask him for comfort, it does work with time. I have been thru this and my heart goes out to you. God must have needed him in Heaven.
