To Jonathan—you were my first boyfriend and I remember you and your mom picking me up for our “dates”…going to see “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and to the baseball games close to where my mother is now buried. I will never forget all of our times playing at the park and staring at each other across the cafeteria. You will be forever missed.

Ricky and Family,
I was searching the Web for something else and came across the obituary for your precious son, Jonathan. My heart breaks for each and every one of you. Years can never separate childhood friends like the Inman's and Terri. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. You are all loved!
Always,

Bug-I love you and miss you so much! I find peace knowing that you are in heaven! But I miss my cousin who used to tease me growing up! I miss your hugs and your friendly smile! Just a couple of Christmas's ago we were dancing around teasing Grandma, I wish you were here to do that with me again this year! I love you and you will always be in my heart, even though you are not here to be with me! I promise you that I will look after Terri, she loves you and misses you so much! I love you Bug, with all of my heart!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. The loss of a child has to be the most awful time of your life. I did not know this young man but I know his family,I have a grandson his age and I know how I would feel if something would happen to him. God will give the family strength to get past this terrible time if you just put you trust in him.

Brenda Lockamy and the Inman Family.
God Blessed you with a Wonderful Young Man. I worked with Jonathan at Apria
Healthcare. Jonathan was always willing to help where ever needed.
God needed another angel for his garden
so he chose Jonathan.
May God bless and continue to keep you.

This was my Beloved son which I loved with every fiber of being in me. I'm truly going to miss him so much that I can't even begin to fantom how I'm going to live without him to talk to as we did often. I know that Jonathan is gone to live with Our Hevenly Father
in Heaven and he was such a good Christian Son. One day soon we and the rest of our Family's that are Saved by the Grace of Our Lord and Saviour will meet him in Heaven to walk hand in hand with him and Worship Jesus for Eternity. I love You Son with all my Heart and I'll see you soon in Heaven when the lord calls us home. With All My Love, Your Daddy and Diana and your Mother Terri.
