You must be so proud of what he achieved in such a short amount of time.<br /><br />Sometimes it's difficult to understand why things happen, or to respond to them in an appropriate way. We're not capable of understanding the plan and are blindsided by events. <br /><br />I believe that you have handled these recent events with such grace and courage. Truly, I admire you and feel for you. <br /><br />I'm sending my best wishes for you and your family.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-11357049558308690812010-02-18T20:16:14.160-05:002010-02-18T20:16:14.160-05:00My sister is amazing.

We see so clearly the amazing young man he is. We always knew it but the more we learn about him, well he was just completely energized and sincere in his beliefs and his abilities. What a confident man you raised. He's portrayed so well by your writings. You say it so well because you knew this man you raised and you loved this man you raised. I want to write something that can bring you comfort and I keep saying the same thing. I love you so much my beautiful sister. I can't bear this for you sometimes. He was such a sweet boy. We are all here and announce it publicly and nakedly. This is the toughest thing ever but I feel we honor this young man by laughing and loving each other through this dark, and MEAN time.Nanjemoy Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722713534088546397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-32728615309023089032010-02-16T18:42:03.440-05:002010-02-16T18:42:03.440-05:00Susie, it is a beautiful example of Jon's life...Susie, it is a beautiful example of Jon's life and his zeal.
