"When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long.. And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It is all a part of the Master's Plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but let me go."

My freshman year of high school, Jason brought me home every day from school during basketball season when my older brother couldn't, so that I wouldn't have to ride the bus. He never once complained about it.. He had such a kind heart and the most contagious smile! I pray that God comforts and heals everyone that loved him dearly.

Mr and Mrs Jerger,
I was saddened to learn of Jason's passing. I was the HR Manager at the Paris Plant when Jason came to work for NAL. He was an outstanding young man and a very hard worker. He will be missed by his fellow workers. We will keep your family in our prayers during this difficult time.

Jason's beautiful smile will live in our hearts forever. Our son, Aaron, always spoke so highly of Jason's character and kindness. He never came to our home without that warm personality shining through....and, as always, that smile from ear to ear. Please know that we will be praying for all of you.
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord....Author Unknown
