Our son, Bradley is a second grader at Holy Spirit, and our daughter, Katie is in Kindergarten. I worked afterschool care last year. Every day that I worked, Jon would play basketball or play with Bradley out on the pavement. I remember when he showed me his book of practical jokes, and he was so excited to try some out! He was a great kid, who always brought a smile to my face. We will miss him dearly.
