I am so sorry for our loss. May Jon's smile shine down on us for many years to come. His Beam of happiness everytime I saw his face is what I'll be remembering most. We could all learn a lesson from Jon's upbeat attitude and bravery.

Dearest Jon -
Your kindness will never be forgotten. You were there for us when our family was in need and opened your home to us. Now that my son is doing well, I deeply feel for Mary and the rest of the famiy for their loss. You are no longer in pain, and you fought the courageous battle. My prayers are with your family. Especially Mary and my daughter Rilda and her husband Kim. We shall all see each other again in a better place. Rest in peace.
Love Betty

Jon, there is only one word for the place you have gone and that word is LOVE. We have been friends, childhood sweet hearts, family, a shoulder to lean on when the other needed it and I thank God for blessing you with Donna. You, Jon are a blessing to behold and cherish. During your illness you held your head high and never complained, not for yourself but for the others that love you so much. Im sure you and your dad are catching up on old times and Jamie is there with the two of you. When my chores are done here on earth, I feel sure the three of you will be there to meet and greet me into the gates of heaven. Our two families merged so long ago that we go beyond friends but roll over into family. There are so many good times we had and our families had that I can only hold in my heart. I know you now have peace, true peace to be the free spirit you always were. I hope you will come and visit me in my dreams or in person. I pray for you to give Donna peace. She loves you so much. Thank you for being part of my life and making memories that will never be forgotten. Im not going to say good bye, I'm going to say see ya when I get there. I will never forget you as you hold a special place in my soul. I'm part Winfrey too. I love you Jon, my friend and my family. God say's we are to be happy and rejoyce your passing over into a perfect new world he has made for us. No more sickness Jon, you are now perfect in every way. You will truly be missed every minute of every day. I pray for God and you to give your family peace. Give them signs you are OK. Go to Donna and let her know how much you love her. She is so worth it. Randy also sends his love and support. He loves you very much too.

Mau loa kipona aloha. In the game of life you won more than you lost. You gave from your heart and honored those around you with laughter and joy. You looked for the blessings and no matter where you were in the world, people could feel your loving heart. You will be missed by many. May your spiritual journey continue with grace and peace. Sis

Jon, though I knew you for a relativly short time from 1996 until our last meeting this past Septemper; you were a wonderful being to know. Always happy and smiling and ever friendly. I will miss talking to you and seeing your smiling face. I admired your courage these past few months; the time we spent at Mom's and Jim's I knew you were in a great deal of pain but you never complained and always thought of others before yourself. Be at peace now without pain. I love you and will always remember you. My prayers go out to you and all the family.

I never had the honor of meeting Jon, but had always heard wonderful things about him through Rilda and Kim.
I am sure he will leave his family and friends great memories that each will carry with them forever.
My sympathy goes out to all.
