This just breaks my heart. Jonathan and I became friends standing in line at for refreshments at Holy Neck Church when we discovered we had something in common in our previous church experiences. That lead to many wonderful conversations (counseling) that I will treasure forever. Rest in peace my treasured friend, you deserve all the treasures that you're now enjoying in Heaven. But I will miss knowing you're here and will miss your ear to listen and shoulder to cry on.
