Jon and I had a different kind of friendship and have always kept in touch since high school. The day he died, I spoke with him about his future plans to travel to Norway. We talked a lot and always made sure one another were okay. I will miss you my dear friend. You may be gone to soon but you will never be forgotten.

I am so so sorry Louie and Jeff. There are so many special things I can say about Jon. He has such great sense of humor and made me laugh often. I am at a loss of words. I loved Jon sooo much and will talk to him all the time because he will forever be in my heart
