Jon,
I shall always remember the day you visited us in Canada. We had a cherry pit and you said to me "will this really grow into a cherry tree one day Aunt Bee" ? I said "of course it will Jon, and you will have to come back to see me to see how much it has grown". I always loved you and wish we got to see more of each other, you were a beautiful boy in your heart and soul. God be with you and your family. With love and deepest sympathy, Aunt Svea

Jon,
It's hard for people not to get close to each other when they spend 11, 12, sometimes 13 hours a day together. I am glad that I got that chance. I am also glad that I got the opportunity to know what it felt like to have a big "brother". I am going to miss you more than you could ever know. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
