There are no words in this world that can express the pain you both have experienced. All we can say is that we love you both, and JT will forever be in our hearts. JT was the type of spirit that could convince his timid grandma to play tackle football. I believe he has already convinced some grandmas in heaven to play a game or two with him. Our memories of JT center around two things hockey and his love for dancing. I can still see him at our wedding, so little but busting a move on the dancefloor. These memories bring me comfort and I hope they bring you some too. You are in our prayers and we will never forget our little angel JT.
Love Kyle, Joylynn, Harmony and Hansel Chicoose

Dear Jamie and Leeann, please know that the pain does lessen and the memories seep in to fill the pain as time goes by. When I saw JT he made me smile and laugh and helped me in times of sadness. He has a glowing spirit and as you look up in the sky he will be one twinkling star beside his Uncle Brian,watching over mom and dad. With deep sorrow. Aunty Donna

I wanted to send my deepest condolences from my family to yours. James, when I talked to you on the phone last week, I really had a hard time keeping back the tears. You guys are in our prayers. Your son will always be with you and he is looking down on you everyday with a smile. Jimmy, you were the most loyal friend and teammate a guy could ever ask for. I am the lucky one to call you my good friend. Take care and keep in touch.

JT left so many wonderful memories for us all to share.Every time we saw him he had a new song or dance to show us. One of my favorite memories was being able to watch JT come in to this world. Thank you for that. My heart has a constant ach and then I begin to think of these memories and can't help but smile. That was one of JT's gifts, the joy he made other people feel. We love you both and are here for the two of you always.
