Mike and Pat,
We didn't learn of Jason's passing until recently and we want you to know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers. After all that you have had to endure since Michelle's death in 2000, we can't even imagine how you are coping. Please know that there are people out there, even ones from soccer days long ago, that are thinking about you and praying for your strength.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
I AM NOT THERE; I DO NOT SLEEP
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW
I AM THE DIAMOND GLINT ON SNOW
I AM THE SUN ON RIPENED GRAIN
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUM RAIN
WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING HUSH
I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH
OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT
I AM THE STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY
I AM NOT THERE I DID NOT DIE
RATHER I WILL LIVE FOREVER
IN THE MEMORIES YOU HOLD OF ME
