I met Jason in high school and didn’t really get to know him until after we graduated. I am so grateful that I did get to know him and the time I spent with him. He meant a lot to me, made me laugh often, and he could always put a smile on my face. Though he isn’t here now he lives in my mind and in my heart.

Hug the ones you love...every chance you get!

My friendship with Jason began when we were 15 years old, and in what seemed like the blink of an eye, we were having breakfast together one day and realized we had been friends for over 1/2 our lives. It saddens me beyond words that Jason is no longer physically with us, but I know that a piece of him lives forever in the heart of each of us. I am forever grateful for every moment I had with him, for every reason we had to call each other "Trouble", for every memory I had the opportunity to make with him, and for that "last smile" that will carry me through until we meet again.

Prayers for the Howell Family

February 21, 2008

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument
of your peace;
Where there is hatred,
let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled
as to console;
To be understood as
to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that
we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that
we are born to eternal life.
May Jason Rest In Peace

Dear Barbara:
"A life well-lived leaves behind a beautiful bouquet of memories."
In times of tears, may you remember laughter. In times of sadness, may your remember smiles. In times of loneliness, may you think of all you shared - and may it comfort you to know you'll have those warm, loving memories forever. With our Deepest Sympathy and Love xoxox

Such a handsome Red Sox fan!!!!
