Tammy,

Well baby brother you are finally at peace with The Lord……..I wanted that for you but had no idea how much it would hurt. You came just two weeks ago and brought me lunch to see how I was after my surgery… walk in and said “Hi Sis”, and that is how I will remember you….always there for me ever since Raymond left. Now I hope you both keep an eye out for the rest of us. You are the best of the best, I will so miss you and your wonderful silliness. I salute you…………..
Just heard the news of Jonathan’s passing and was surprised as well as saddened. He was one of the good ones…overcame obsacles with a sense of humor and shared with others to make them better. I saw him in church a couple of months ago and it was good to remember him there.
Know your family is suffering with his loss…you all are the strongest bonded family I ever knew and we shared some good times together. Blessing to you all and sending prayers your way. Barb
I love you Jonathan. Thank you for making me a part of your family. I believe that I told you everything that I know. You encouraged me to do that so many times over. You told me that the truth would set me free. I once said to you ” It`s not that I lie. It`s just that I don`t want to tell the truth, yet”. Together we decided when `yet` was and I have not looked back since. Thank you for all of it! Thanks Diane, JW, Tammy, Lois and Linda for making me a part of your family. Love, Aidan.
