Jon... Everyday i feel your presence here on earth, but it still does not seem real. I keep thinking you cannot talk because you are out at sea. This is one of the hardest things I will have to accept and deal with. I am doing really big things in my life right now to help me deal with this... I am going to always miss you forever and ever. I wish you were here to see how many people are doing better things in their lives because of you and are motivated now. Love you forever. Make sure you save spots up there for all of us. <3.. BTW your bday is this thursday and i am sick but i will still celebrate for you as best as i can!

I can't put into words how truly blessed I am to have been able to call you my husband. You are by far and will always be the best thing that has ever happened to me. You've given me something I will take with me forever. I miss your smile and the way you knew how to light up a room. There's not a person in the world who will ever be able to take your place. I'll keep a spot in my heart for you forever. Watch over us until the day we finally meet again. I love you Jon and may you rest in peace.
