Lori, I saw you at the Holy Spirit Festival in August, and I have been thinking a lot about you guys during this time. Jon was a light to all of us at Holy Spirit, and I still miss him! You are in our prayers at this time of year!

Chris,
We only met you and Jon once at Kenny & Terri's in Hampton when you all were on the way to Nags Head last summer. We are some of Lori's many cousins.
This news was a devistating shock.
We are so sorry for your terrible loss of Jon. I know words of sorrow are of little comfort. Just know that you and Lori are in our thoughts and prayers. We are wishing you better days, Jon will always be in your heart.

I do not know your family or Jon. I still felt sorrow. With God's help you will find strength to endure. There is a special place in Heaven for children. Jesus said "let the little children come unto me". May God hold you and keep you until you meet Jon again one day in heaven. A co-worker with Brenda Fowler.

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.

As a mother i can not even imagine what your family is going through. My daughter, Katie Amick went to holy Spirit last year and she adored Jon. He was her tutor every Monday after school and when she got home on Friday and heard about Jon, she burst into tears. I want your family to know how proud you should be of your son, he was a kind-hearted young man. May God bless your family in this difficult time.
