Dear Melissa and Mr. and Mrs Tsaggaris,

We were so sad to learn of your loss of Jason. Please accept our deep sympathy. Jason had so much support from your family and we know what a great guy he was! Jason and you were in our thoughts on Wednesday night for the "Light the Night" walk at Heinz Field. We will always remember him.

Sincerely,

Dear Peggy and Lex, Melissa and Laura,

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Jason. While words cannot express what I would like to say to you, please know I will continue to pray for you all. I knew Jason was very special as Ellen, his aunt and my friend, spoke so lovingly and highly of him all these years. I am so very sorry.

To Jasons Family - My heartfelt sympathies and condolescences to all of you. Jason was friends and a co worker to my son, Christopher Kirkham. Chris has kept me updated many steps of the way with Jasons health problems and we were so hopeful that he would make it through all of this. My heart goes out to all of you and we will keep Jason forever in our thoughts and prayers. He was a special man, and someone we were proud to know. Jill Altoft and Family/Moon Township

It is impossible to count the number of people that have been saddened by this news and it is impossible to count the number of people who will always have Jason in their thoughts. I know I will always remember him as one of the most special people I have ever known. My condolences to Melissa and Jason's parents and sister and to the countless people that had the privilege of knowing Jason.
