Cousin Audrey and the Entire Person Family,

May the Lord that we serve continue to comfort and keep you all...always!

Cousin Jasper as you all know, has touched so many lives in such a positive way and will be missed greatly for that and many other reasons; most of all because he gave such love and support to us all For me, his upbeat and uplifting words, his laughter along with his never ending effort of always encouraging me and for always checking in on me and many, many other family members will be missed, but never ever forgotten. I'll never forget how Jasper would make me laugh immediately when I would call to check on him because he would always answer "JP, this is he!" If he called me and I wasn't home he would leave this voicemail message, "Give me a shake when you get unglued." If you ever felt a little down Jasper was always there with a positive word of comfort and encouragement and then a funny joke to lighten any situation. Jasper simple just loved his family and showed it. There will never be another one as caring, fun and supportive as Jasper Person. It's hard to be too sad about his going home when you consider how blessed by God we all were to have known such a kind-hearted person and to have shared such fun times with for such a number of years. God is truly good!
