Jon, I love you and miss you terribly. The time spent together with your family means the world to me. So many memories I don't know where to begin. Jacob and ur love foe AC/DC and Jaden trying to scare me as he came down stairs and me almost peeing my pants! Lol. And sharing the birth of my son and you and Lana with yours. It broke my heart that Jax and Joseph didn't get to spend more time together. The laughter we all shared late at night listening to Queen and you and ur Freddie Murcury pants . My heart will always remember you and the time I spent with all of you! My oldest two boys becoming part of ur life and you giving my oldest a job and teaching him a great trade. Thank you for your love and friendship. Queens "I want to break free " is forever my song for you! I love you Jon.
