Chere Jocelyne,

Cela me brise le coeur d'apprendre que tu as perdu ton fils Jason.

Je ne peux imaginer rien de plus douloureux pour une maman qui aime ses fils comme toi.

Appelle moi au 778-835-7480 si le coeur t'en dit.

Avec amour,
Ta cousine Denise,
Colombie-Britannique

I never realized how quick time flies til I saw this. Wherever you are Jason, I'm sure you're there in your poncho and your shades making someone's computer work better.
My deep sympathy to your family.

Jocelyne: je me souvenais que c'est a la fin juin que tu as eu la plus grande peine qu'une maman puisse avoir (qu'une maman, un papa et un frère puissent avoir). Il n'y a pas de mots pour nous consoler d'une telle perte. Je voudrais seulement te dire que je compatis et que je pense a toi, particulierement en cette journee.
A bientot,
avec toute mon affection,

I thought i would drop you an email to let you know that Jason is not
forgotten. To this day i still have his photo on my desktop. On days
that i feel down..on days that I question myself and hate where i am in
my life..decisions that i did or did not do...on those days where i
wonder where i will get the energy to keep going...i look at his photo
and remember my good friend who has moved on. His smile reminds me just
how precious life is...how fragile it can be..and how we must try to
enjoy every day we have with our family and friends. I am grateful to
have known him and count myself fortunate to have had him as a friend.

My thoughts are with you and your family this day.

Respects,

Chris

Mon fils, mon amour:
Déjà un an et je me souviens si bien de notre dernière rencontre. C'est comme si c'était hier. Ton rire, tes mots si tendres, ta présence, tout ce que nous avons eu le bonheur de partager durant ta courte vie. Tu sais comme tu me manques. Je te le redis tous les jours. Un jour on se reverra mon bel amour.

I still miss your giggle. I used to wonder why you kept in touch all those years....was always thrilled you and Kim did but wondered. Shortly before you passed, you told me I am like a sister to you. I was truly blessed to have you in my life.
I always looked forward to going over and hearing you call me chic-ca and show me the latest photos you had taken or talk about the latest books you had read, or music you had discovered.
You influenced me quietly in too many ways to list.

You are still missed dearly.

My dear son Jason
It's already been a year since you went away and there is not a day that passes that you are not in my thoughts. I remember the conversations we had, also the sharing of anything digital, but most of all the meals we enjoyed as family. I can still hear your deep hearted laugh. Thanks for explaining so many things to me. Thanks for the memories. Your family misses you.
Until we meet again.

Jason, Where did the time go?

Family: My deepest condolences, for your loss.

I have known Jason in his youthful days, and he was still the person he became in adulthood, immersing himself in the latest tech fad, at the time we were best friends, we were into BBS's and we created some snazzy looking things. then Jay, took it to another level.

Will miss you dude,

Dear Ron, Joss, Jeremy,
We remember Jason growing up, and the photos at the viewing captured his life beautifully. Such friends, colleagues, and Kim - - so many people whose lives were bettered by meeting Jason. A short life, a rich life, a full life; makes me remember how important you all are to us. I would never have met you all but for a four-year old kid, who, in 1975, came up to a total stranger and said, "Do you wanna play Frisbee?" with an expression of such confidence and openness that it would have been impossible to say "No" to. Qualities that from all that I heard about him blossomed and grew each year. May all of us find consolation and joy in our memories of Jason. Love,
Peter (and Debbie) Bruce, Aylmer QC

Forever in my heart.

Each life is a song, and Jason's was clear and strong and a joy to catch, and he sang it so very well. There is silence now, but we can still hear him. Time and most of all music, the heart's language of loss and of memory, can sooth it when it is broken, and I hope with all my heart there is comfort in them for you, my dear Jocelyne. If you need me there, there I am, and my deepest thoughts are all for you. May peace find you again; the strength I know you already have. Phil.

To the Charette Family,

I was without words when learning of this sudden, unexpected loss. I had the great pleasure of working with such an exceptionally gifted man, who always had patience, humour and intelligence for any dilemma I sent his way.
Jason will be remembered for his enthusiasm of camping throughout Algonquin Park, his love for all things Tim Burton and his expertise as a computer programmer extraordinaire! Jason always lit up and spoke passionately about his travels/ adventures and being able to share it with someone truly spectacular.
He will be truly missed. Kimberly and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

À Ronald, kimberly et tout la famille Charette, Mes sympathie pour le décès de Jason. Cette homme si merveilleux et exceptionnel et unique à vos yeux, vous a quitté trop rapidement sans pourvoir lui dire combien vous l'aimiez ainsi qu'un dernier aurevoir. Cependant, je suis persuadé que Jason laisse une héritage importante dans vos vie par la personne qu'il était pour vous tous.Prennez le temps de guérir vos blessures et rappeler vous surtout de ses beau sourires, ainsi que de ses rires et des paroles qui vous réconfortaient et que vous avez apprécier et aimer chez Jason. Je suis de tout coeur avec toi Ronald dans cette épreuve.

Ron Jocelyn and Jeremy it is so hard to know what to say. Sheri phoned me to tell me last night. I remember the family get togethers we used to have in the gym of the church and how lively and full of life Jason was. The children loved to have him there. He was so easy to be around. The loss of a child is an ache the heart was never meant to know. Jeremy, you and Jason were such close brothers. There is nothing I can say or do that will bring you consolation right now. The love you all had for each other was so wonderful to watch and be around. Remember that your friends are praying for you, weeping with you and sharing your sadness.
love Carolyn (Sheri's Mom)
