Jonathan D. Petit

My Beautiful Boy,
I can't believe it's been 14 years since I last saw you walk out the door. It still seems like yesterday. My life has changed so drastically and I wish each day that you were here helping me get through. You will always be my Sunshine, my Heart and Soul. Please continue to send me your signs and love! Watch over your brothers!
Until we meet Again!
All My Love,
Mom

My Dear Jonathan,
On the calendar you have only been away from us for 4+ years, but in our hearts it seems so much longer.

Jonathan, you have become such an inspiration for so many; not just your friends, but for your family. When we look at all you accomplished at such a young age on your own terms and your own self-determination, it's truly amazing. What a treasure you are to us.

It has hurt us so terribly to lose you but, I can't help but thank God that we did...

My handsome son. Four years have now passed since I last laid my eyes upon you. I miss you so much I ache. I think about our drives together to so many wrestling meets and I miss the conversations most of all.

Sometimes I think you are talking to me and I try so hard to listen. The tears still flow every day but I will fight through them to do the work that is so necessary. Together we can show the way...my words...your strength.

I love you son...

Dad

Your Uncle Lee plays one of his favorite songs by Coldplay when we go places in the car. He told your little cousins about how every time he hears this one particular song, it reminds him of you. It's a song about never giving up. Now every time we get in the car, I hear a request for Coldplay number 4 (they don't know the name-just the track #). Sometimes I look back and see a child crying. They were so young when you left, but they know you. You are in our hearts. We all miss you dearly.

Dear Jonathan,
It's been awhile since anyone has written in your guest book, but you can be sure that very many people think about you every day. We talk to you and still send prayers for you and our missing you will never end. We feel cheated because you were taken away from us way too soon but, most of all, we are sad when we think of all the things that you have missed.
Keep watch over all of us as we struggle through the rest of our lives and I know you will be there to meet us...

To my dear nephew,
You have influenced so many lives and your gifts to us will last far beyond the short time we had with you here. Thank you Jon for the strength we feel from you still.
Love,
Aunt Kim

Hello Sweetheart,
This past week has been extremely hard for me. I know you've been with me every morning down by the lake looking back on the events of last year. I glad you made me fully remember each and every moment. I guess I needed to do that in order to truly move on with the tasks you and God want me to perform.

I know you realize how very much I miss you and that my love for you will never die. I thank you for the lessons you've taught me and for giving me the...

My Beautiful Son,

In a few days this book will close. It has been a little more than a year since I saw your smile, heard your laugh, or watched you walk into our house. Not a minute goes by without a thought of you. I miss you so very much.
I finally opened your Father's Day card from last year. I shared it with your Mom so she too could "hear" something fresh and new from her boy. I cried buckets. I probably will continue to cry a little until we meet again. I'm expecting a...
