My sweet turtle. 17 years have passed and my love for you is forever, Ill always cherish our private conversations on your many visits to UCONN, home and on the very last day. You told me you were tired of running and not be mad. Never ever would I be made at you. You fought so valiantly. Today I wonder what you and Max are up to. I can only imagine. Your brother Mike is getting married in May which will be a very happy time for your dad and I but sad as you and Max will not be there...

Jonathan, Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you with so much love. And now I find comfort knowing you were there when Max left us. And you are together again watching over all of us. Continue to send pennies. Love you so much. Until I hold you again....Be good.

Continue to miss you every day, every minute. I find comfort that you now have your grandparents with you now. Love you forever, Until I hold you again. Be good.

You are so special and I know you are watching over us. It's funny, my Tyler reminds me so much of you when you were little. He has a devious smile and loveable demeanor. When he smiles I see you. You and your brothers prepared me for the two boys I'm raising now in more ways than one = ) I'm glad to have know you and to have loved you. Somehow when I least expect it I'm reminded of you. When I need to courage I think of you. With all my love until I see you in heaven (I think I'll get in -...

Jonathan,
It has taken me almost this whole year since you passed to be able to deal with it. As the poem said I can let your body go but I'll never let a moment of our memories together slip away. It was a honor to be choosen to be your Godfather. At church that day you were looking right into my eyes all the time I was holding you. It was like trust and love was being sent back and forth through our eyes. I knew then there was something special about you and as you grew you proved me...

Jonathan, just thinking about you today.Yesterday was not easy for me or your Dad. He misses you terribly. He did and does love you and all of us in his own special way but I think you saw that. You will always be my turtle. You are a special young man that I miss so very much. Continue to be there for me, your dad, and your brothers and for any one else who may need you. You are our angel now shine brightly. Until I hold you again..."BE GOOD" love always MOM

My dearest Jonathan,
Writing my thoughts of you to you this last year has been somewhat cathartic. Everthing written I'm sure I've told you or if I didn't I should have. I know you know how much I love you and your brothers. You were the children I could never have. You took my breath away the first time I held you only minutes old. You had my heart from that moment on, you were a special little boy and a special man. Your life is an example of the exceptional, what we all should...
