Primo I am going to miss you dearly, especially thru Facebook where you posted all those good dishes you prepared and got me hungry all the time. You where such an unique and amazing cousin that always worried about everyone. We had such an awesome time when you came over on my dad's birthday and we visited my sister in the hospital. We also shared peanut butter cookies. PRIMO I JUST WANTED TO SAY I LOVE YOU AND TO BAD WE DIDN'T SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER.

Jonathan you were always an amazing friend. You always knew how to make everyone smile. Especially me. I remember you always with a huge smile. Walking around A Hill with me during lunch. After you graduated it was boring without you. I know you're smiling down on everyone you loved. Rest in peace.

You were always there when people needed you.
You were one of your mother's love and lights, which was extinguissed too soon.
I guess God needed you more.
RIP Jonathan, you will be missed by everyone whose life you touched, and all who knew and loved you.
We'll see you later!
