Ana/Sonja/Danica-My heart is heavy for you and your family; it was only just last night that I heard about Jovan after talking with Jay. I just wanted to send some love to you all from me and my mom. I will always remember my high school/college years and growing up over that 6-8 year span when your family was part of my life. All of you always treated me with so much kindness and love-it will never be forgotten and is always appreciated. Jovan was one of a kind and he, like all of you, have always been so kind to my mom as well, I also can never thank you all enough for that. He will also be the only person that ever is allowed to call me Toddy-boy EVER...it always made me laugh! I know you are all keeping each other strong, and your family is always in my heart. I truly hope I have an opportunity to see and give you ladies a hug somehow in the future-I miss you all as well. With our affection and deepest condolences, Todd & Mary Ann
