My heart goes out to the entire family. Jason was a wonderful person with a smile on his face each and every time I saw him. He was a very special person and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet him and most of the family. It hurts my heart to know that he is gone. He will be missed.
May GOD bless him and each and every member of the family.
With Concern,
Diane Carter and family
