Dear Linda and Jim,
Dave and I just learned of JP's passing this evening. We send our heartfelt sympathy. We were in England visiting our son and his family for the entire month of August and had cancelled our paper while we were gone. This evening, Jake, Kristi , Dave and I were having dinner at Mulligans and Kristi mentioned that the last time she had been there was with JP. Jake then went online and discovered JP's obituary. All of us were shocked an saddened. Had we been in town, we would have attended the memorial service. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jim and Linda,
I am very sad to have found out about Juan Paulo. We knew each other for only a couple of months. I will always remember him and his love of music and U2. We would talk on the telephone for hours about God and life.I remember playing with Chewy and hanging out with him. Thank you for letting me get to know someone that was a good friend and a loving person.
"Our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:53 "
Yours, Maria Cecilia

I am saddened to hear of the passing of JP. He was my friend for almost three years. I will miss him greatly, his talks we used to have, his laughter, him writing "smiles" on our texts. His love for people and God was felt the instant you met him.

I have know JP for two years, and we became friends instantly. We had spoken frequently prior to his passing, and I was devasted to know I will never hear his voice and laugh with him again. I have been blessed to of had JP in my life and like everyone who knew him, this has created a huge void in my life. To JP's parents and family, thank you for such a loving person and my prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Jim and Linda,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I just saw J.P. a few weeks ago myself in a nearby Target. I worked with him off and on for many years at the Compassion Corner and his patience and kindness with our homeless friends was always in view. I pray God's blessing on you at this time and that His peace would be felt each moment.

I am at loss for words. I know there is nothing for me to say that will make your loss easier. I hope you can understand what I can't put to words. I will never forget the fond memories of PJ/Juan Pablo. The walk on the park talking about serious issues or just about his cats and my dog; listening U2 on concert; going to movies and dinners, chatting on the phone for hours, but the most important memory is answering the phone out of the blue and hearing his voice when I needed the most to conform my soul. Juan Pablo, you will be always and forever in my heart and thoughts.

Dear Jim & Linda,
I am so very sorry to hear about J.P. Thank you, Jim for calling. J.P. was an outstanding young man, full of Compassion. We worked together for many Mondays down at Compassion Corner, and had wonderful discussions. He had a gift for working with the homeless and many of our clients looked forward to J.P. being there to talk to them. The only consolation we have now, is knowing that right at this very moment he is in the arms of our Lord. With prayer & Sympathy, Sue Rudolph
