Dear Favreau Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your untimely loss. I wasn't close friends with Jon but I grew up down the street and went to Holy Name and every time I saw him he'd smile and say hi. I'll never forget his kindness and how friendly he was. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of need. Remember that he will be with you always, and he'll never be forgotten.
