Dear Jane,
I only learned of Jason's passing recently. He was a friend from 1960, as are you. His sermons were the best, his visitation wonderful, and his sense of humor made him fun to be around. His arrival in heaven had to be a glorious day. However, I understand the change for you too well. I moved to Wyoming last year, and I am going to try to reach you by phone. With love,

Dear Jane,
I was so sorry to hear of Jason's death. I thought the obituary in the paper did an excellent job. Jason's sense of humor always fascinated me. He had that twinkle in his eye that always made me want to ask what he was thinking.
I pray that you and your family will be comforted by the knowledge that he is in the company of saints, probably telling them about his boyhood in Byromville.
I am at Southern Manor Retirement Inn near Joel III and family. Scott passed...

I have such fond memories of Jason Shirah! My father, Roscoe Thompson, considered him a great friend at St. Luke UMC in Columbus, Ga. My condolences go out to all of his family. I smile when I think of him "up there" talking to my Daddy and all the friends that he made through his wonderful ministry. I know I am thinking of you.

My,sympathy to the family.May the God of comfort be with, the family.

We were sad to hear of Jasons' passing. He was not only the man who married us but he was also family. We sat at Jane's kitchen table with Jason for a long time talking about marriage and how both of us had things that were expected of us. It was an honor for a family member as sweet and caring as Jason to marry us in the church my Jasons' family built and the one I grew up in. He will be greatly missed.

The heart remembers most what it has loved best. May memories comfort you and may GOD give you peace.

Anne and girls, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I would have loved to have known him, especially after reading his obituary. I know you will miss him greatly. Heaven's gain, as you know.
Love, Linda Blue

Our deepest sympathy,
