Jason Christopher Bretz

Len & Michelle,
Thank you so much for keeping the guestbook available online. I only learned about Jay's passing a year ago & have been searching the internet ever since. My name is Michelle Herrin-Larsen. My 2 sisters & I lived next door to your family on Monet Way. Floods of wonderful childhood memories have come over me in learning of this great loss. Great memories of us staying up late @ night talking to each other over the fence thru our bedroom windows, playing football or...

I'm so glad that I found this. I went to high school with Jason, but I didn't get to know him until after we graduated. I remember that the last couple of times I saw him, about seven years ago, I wasn't the nicest person. Thankfully, I had an opportunity to apologize to him. But what I didn't say to him then was that I always thought he was a brilliant, fun, beautiful person. I guess I took for granted that we would run into each other again somewhere, and we would be able to catch up about...

I think about you every day!! I still can't believe what has happened. It's like a permanent boulder has been placed in my gut! It's hard to make sense out of much when something like this happens. I find myself trying to find some reason and of course I can not! I love you Jay and miss you more each minute!! Love you, Aunt Kristen

Q-
Happy Birthday!!! You are suppose to be here so I could buy you your 200.00 basketball shoes that I told you to wait until your birthday. Dang!! This does not get any easier. You are so missed. There is so much pain, the only way for it ever to better, is to see you again. I still can't beleive you are gone. Why did this have to happen to us??!! Your unique personality will forvever be remembered and instilled in every single family member! We all love you so much!! I wish you...

I recently found out about Jay's death at our 10 year reunion. I can't believe that it's true. I wish that we hadn't lost touch. He was one of my best buddies in school and he will really be missed. My thoughts are with his family.

Jason, I went to class yesterday and Professoressa informed me of what happened to you. I am in shock. I expected to see you sitting two seats behind me again this semester-cracking jokes and making us all laugh. I can see you sitting there now, chomping on gum and smiling. Although I never knew you outside of our Italian class, I knew you loved your wife, were a great writer, and had a true zest for life. God must have needed another angel--you will be missed but not forgotten. God...

Jason- It was very difficult for us to get to know each other well. We were seperated by several states. But the time we did spend together was fun. Even though we were not as close as I would have liked for us to be, you will remain in my thoughts. I will miss you.
Love-(your step-sister) Crystal
