My son Jonathan lost his life in a traffic accident in Iowa today. We will be leaving in the morning to go to his wife and children in Virginia. Please keep us all in your prayers. The photo is Jon at Thanksgiving with his granddaughter Cadyn.
I am so very sorry for your loss, there are no words that can ease the grief of losing one of your children but know that you are in my thoughts as you and your family mourn your son.
If I could airmail a thousand hugs to you, you'd have them now. What a smile! I'll be thinking of you and your whole family, and wishing you all the strength and comfort this world can give you.
Oh Sue, My heart is breaking for you and your family. I'll be praying that you and Larry have a safe trip and too sooth your aching hearts. God Bless You.

Please know that Jon's family is kept in thought and prayer. Words are so inadequate but perhaps knowing you are thought of and remembered may ease the pain.
My heart is with you all. Wishing you strength and courage to walk this difficult path together. It seems so unfair to lose a good person so young . . . Love and hugs to you all.
Susanna, My heart breaks for you and your whole family. Thinking about all the love and joy you've shared over your children, I hold you all in my prayers. Lynn Ruehlmann
Dear Sue, My heart is breaking for you. Through your Storytell posts and your blog, I feel I know your family. I hope and pray that your strong family bonds will enable you all to embrace your grief together and that that togetherness will give you all the strength and solace you need at this most terribly hard time. My thoughts and prayers were with you through the night and will be with you through the days ahead. Hugs for you my friend, Carol

Oh Granny Sue, I am so sorry! My heart is breaking along with you because I know how much you love your children. We love you and if there is anything you need let us know.
Dear Granny Sue, It aches in our hearts to hear of your loss. But the loss of a child goes deeper for a mother, it aches her soul. Stand on the strength of your faith and lean on the strength of your friends and family to heal. Love Rich K., Wheeling

I am so very very sorry to hear this news. I have been thinking of you and your family all day. I can tell by his pictures that Jon was a lovely boy and a good man. There's nothing much I can say that will help, but I thought you might like this. I wrote it for my ex-in-laws when my former brother-in-law died unexpectedly last year.
Epitaph
Our beautiful boy is gone. His loving heart His wicked grin- We will not see his face again.

I lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence my strength comes....Those hills will help you through this loss, drenched in sun, washed with rain or tears they remain constant, strong and loving, and remember the echo of your Jon. Take the strength of all the love and wishes, hugs and prayers given here and elsewhere, take the sympathy and caring gestures and wrap yourselves in that, for we all are there standing with you.My prayers join the rest, God Bless
A son holds a special place in a mother's heart forever and that light remains steadfast and true.
