To Sweet Aimee and Sabrina...Life may have stopped for your heroic dad, but now is when your memories of him start. He left you and all of us some wonderful, loving memories! Because he was so open about how much he cared about you and all the people he loved in his life, he's helped the healing time along. He encouraged all of us to keep living a full life, no matter what the obstacles. What wonderful gifts he left all of us! Your father will always shine in the heavens as a great star and a guiding light for you both. Never forget, he will always be in your heart, watching out for you, with love and tender support! Warm thoughts of grace and protection to surround you always ~ from the heart, Kathleen

Dear Aimee, Sabrina, Suzanne, Barry, Aunt Sandy, Julie,
It was a very moving service today for a wonderful, brave, thoughtful man who touched so many lives. He would be so proud of all of you today, especially Aimee and Sabrina. You are brave young ladies.
So not fair to you, to him and to the rest of us.
He was my work buddy and advised me during my own cancer treatment. He will truly be missed.
Requiescat in pace (may he rest in peace).

To Jonathan's family,
I met and began working with Jonathan one month before his initial diagnosis and came to care for and respect very much. I felt helpless watching him struggle, I was inspired by his strength and courage, and now I'm deeply saddened by his passing. I will always remember his smile, his kindness, his willingness to help those who needed it, the amazing love he had for his girls and the way his face lit up whenever he spoke of them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Aimee, Sabrina, and Sandy & family and Suzy; knowing Jonathan from high school years to his adulthood has brought a love of life into our lives. Knowing him and loving him has been proof that special people touch our lives: Jonathan was a very special person. We loved, respected, and admired him and will always think of him highly. May his memory be for a blessing to his daughters, his beloved aunt, Suzy, and his entire family. It was a privilege to get to know him again these past two years as a member of Temple Beth David. May all his loved ones follow the loving and caring acts this great guy showed family and friends. With love and peace....Marcia & Harvey

Jonathan was our son Jeff's best friend. He spent many a day at our house with Jeff in Randolph doing what teenage boys do...sometime getting into trouble, but mostly helping each other with schoolwork, playing video games and talking about the girls in their lives. Jonathan was one of those "good kids" that I was glad to have around.

To Jonathan's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I used to work with Jonathan at BJ's Wholesale and always enjoyed conversing with him on a multitude of topics. I was devastated when I learned that he had cancer as were many of his fellow colleagues.
My son(also named Jonathan) had leukemia several years ago and I could empathize with your Jonathan about what he was going through regarding his treatments. I feel so sad that he is gone -I have tears in my eyes...

To the Forman family -
It's hard to believe that the little boy who played and grew up with my little boy is gone forever. Take comfort in knowing that he is back in the arms of his mother.
Love and sympathy to all of you,

Dear Aimee & Sabrina,
I had the pleasure of meeting you and your Dad only a few times, but immediately I understood just how *extrodinary* your dad was. I remember he played a John Lennon song "Imagine" on the piano the last time I saw him...and I imagine him now, singing the words, so happy, so carefree, resting in eternal peace.
I know this must be extremely difficult for you and your sister to understand, but please remember he will always reside within your hearts...he will never be far from you...your dad may not be with you in body, but he will always be with you in spirit. For that, I'm *certain*...remember the lessons he taught, and live life as he did...courageously, lovingly, spirited & always smiling!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
Blessings,

Dear Aimee, Sabrina, Sandy, Suzanne and the wonderful extended Forman family who became like my own family. My heart is SO heavy with grief for him and you. Anyone who met Jonathan even if only for one time surely felt a uniquely special man in their presence. His gifts will remain within his children who will honor him by spreading those gifts. Forever in my heart always!
