Jonathan Dean Baggett

I wanted to share a letter written by Joe Kennedy to a friend whose son died after brain surgery

There are no words to dispel your feeling at this time and there is no time that will ever dispel them. Nor is it any easier the second time than it was the first. And yet I cannot share your grief, because no one could share mine.
When one of your children goes out of your life, you think of what he might have done with a few more years and you wonder what you are going to do...

This time is bitter sweet, I know my Doug is in no pain and with his Dad and God that I guess is the sweet part. The bitter is this was to be his Sr. year of High School and gradution is this Sunday and there will be an empty seat that should have Jon sitting in it. Plus the world cup is right around the corner and I know Jon wanted to be there. I just want the family of My Doug to know your son, brother, etc has not and will not ever be forgotten. To you Mel you have a way with words that...

The coach came into the lunch room early this morning, and out of the blue gave me a shirt like the team had worn this year. I don't know why but it really means alot to me. I know My Doug was just one part of the team and that each member is very important, but without Jon there it has left a empty place. The team played hard and had a wonderful season and don't think Jon wasn't helping from above with that huge smile shining. I still find it hard to believe he is forever gone from this...

I didn't know him, but I feel terrible for your loss.
Your family is in my prayers.

Dear Terri:
I am so sorry for your loss - words are completely inadequate. I have been praying for Jonny and for you for the past couple of months, as mom has kept me updated through Juanita Hutsell.

While I never met Jonny, I have heard much about the impact that his beautiful life has had on those around him, especially the kids at Birdville High.

I will continue to pray for you. May God comfort you in your sorrow.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful son ,Jonathan, with my daughter Ashlee Green. From the first day she was his nurse she was touched by his incredible faith and love for the Lord. Everyday she would share news about Jonathan and I could tell her bond with him was instant. Through his remarkable life so many have been blessed. I can't wait to meet him in heaven one day! You and your family will forever be in my prayers.
May the Lord bless and keep you in His loving care.

Very sorry to hear about Jonathon's sickness, but he is all right now. He was a great young kid in Stephenville and he loved people. He touched the lives of a lot of people and was like his Dad. Courage like that is uncommon these days. God Bless this great family.

Dear Baggett family,
My condolences are with you. I thought of jon as my hero. He was the one person i trully believed when he told me "everything would be okay." and it was.
When i was at camp over the summer, i was confused when i couldnt find him. Then someone told me about his illness. I didnt want to believe it.
Later that week, this little boy we called "Big P" told his "story" about how Jon had helped him play basket ball, and it made me think of jon even more as a...
