Jonathan E. Bogner

Dear Colleen, Ed, Emily, Lindsey, and Meredith,
I know this is a late entry if not the last. Somehow, for some reason only God knows, I did not know about your tragic loss. I sit here in tears, as I know from a chance meeting with Colleen today, that TODAY is Jonathan's birthday. My faith tells me there are no coincidences. The Lord is always at work. My heart bleeds for you because the unthinkable has happened to such a beautiful family who I have come to know and love during my...

My dear friend Colleen and family,
I have been meaning to place an entry here ever since I first learned of your loss two days before the memorial service. Yet somehow I still can't believe this has really happened. I was living (briefly) in NJ and was packing to move back to FL when I got the news.
Since I couldn't attend the memorial, I downloaded the movie that Jon wrote the excellent review about, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". I watched it from start to finish on my...

My heart is always saddened by the passing of former students. What a fine, creative young man Jonathan was. May strength and courage be yours during these difficult times. Condolences to all of you from Carol and Jim Black ( Erik's Mom and Dad).

"My power is strongest when you are weak" 2 Corinthians 12:9

I just learned of your loss and my heart breaks for you. I pray that God brings you strength and peace.

Dear Colleen, Ed & family,
I remember Jonathan from Pete & Diane's wedding. I'm a friend of Sr. Ann's and belong to the Daughters of Charity. Ann shared with me your tragic loss. The responses from so many speaks volumes that you are not alone. I join my deepest sympathy with those who have already expressed their heartfelt wishes for each of you. Although Jonathan was taken from us way to soon his presence has left a lasting mark upon our spirits. I am asking God to be getle with...

Colleen ,Ed, Lyndsey,Emily and Meredith. I'm so very sorry for your loss. May you find the peace that will help you through this. I did not get to know Jonathan as I did the girls....I cannot even imagine your pain at this time....take care and may God be with you. I miss seeing all of you at Dr. Apuzzio's.

The memorial service was beautiful. I'm glad the family opened it to everyone so that we could pay our respects. My fondest memories of Jon are from middle school, I'll always remember his unique outlook on life, it was truly refreshing and he will be missed.

Ed, Colleen and family: our deepest sympathy.
Love, Ann Scullin and Rick Moyer

Memories of Jon, for me, and my classmates will be forever indelible. I'll never forget middle school carnival night when a few of us set up a nintendo 64 game system stand, all because Jon thought this was the coolest "new" idea out there. I'll also remember playing one of Jon's favorite games of jail break while at Andy's.

Jon's memorial was tremendously sad and inspirational. I wish I would have been able to spend more time with him, but to respond to something Jon wrote in my high...
