Jason, my heart goes out to all of your close friends and family. May you be at rest and serenity with God. It was just two years ago, at this time, that we all were getting ready for prom and senior graduation. Your daughter will live on to make you proud with honor and love. You are forever in our hearts, and I promise that you will be recognized and acknowledged in anything our senior class does in the upcoming years; though you may not be there in person, you will be there in spirit. We stood as family and will stand as family. With love, your classmate and weight training buddy, Andrea

Dearest Jason, it seems like yesterday you and ur brothers were coming to hang out with me and ur Tio Bruno...always clowning around. I can't believe you are gone. My heart is saddened by your quick departure from this earth. You captured the hearts of many and were such a wonderful, polite young man. To Nannette, Willie, the boys, and extended family, I am praying that God heals your broken hearts and delivers peace to your souls. Thinking of you always.

While there are no true words to help you with the loss of a child, our hearts go out to you and the family for having to endure such a horrific loss. As we told you before, if you simply want someone to sit with you, call me. If you need someone to cry with you, call me. I will be there in whatever capacity is needed. Lots of love.
