My dear friend.

U will be in my heart forever ~ I shall never forget how you became a part of my extended family when I left Arizona, it was you. You gave me a new life, a positive outlook, knowledge, and always reminded me that I had the strength to create a new life for my boys ~ you sent me home to Chicago ~ thank you for fighting so hard to get me back home ~ thank you so much for fighting to keep me here ~

~ go play golf with Jonathan ~
Love you! Roger ~

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Memories ~ from me for you ~

Rebbecca,
Merry Christmas ~

I remember the day Jr. took Jon to his first baseball game ~ he got to sit in Ron's chair up in the tower, he sat in the dugout ~
What a good day that was ~

I had a ton of fun growing up with the cubs ~ I had a ton of fun being the referee to all the kids in the neighborhood ~ Merry Christmas "Big Ron" ~

Merry Christmas ~ my "Old Family"

One hundred rides. One destination. A world free of MS.

I have a dear friend - that has MS - Multiple Sclerosis

It hurts ~

It's starting ~ the reality is really hitting the kids - and it's okay, it just takes time.

"Its suppose to get better but day by day it get worse.
I'm suppose to miss you because I'm at college and your 170 miles north of me
not because you a gazillion and ten miles above me."

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO!

They may not touch his things - they need to stay, my family does not understand the hurt, the pain, that empty part of my soul, I am the mother of this child who is not coming back!

Leave his things alone!
LEAVE HIS THINGS ALONE ~

Me & My Baby ~ Big Baby ~

In good times & bad times, this is what Friends are for!

Dear Vonna,

My DH, will be just fine, it will just take a long time for him to recover.
YIKES!!!!!!!

I am so glad that you are taking a short trip to a warm place. I think it will do you good to be with people that you enjoy being with and that also enjoy the same thing as you do.

I understand what you are saying about family, but don't loose hope. They are big enough to take care of themselves especially when you need a break.

As you know everyone grieves differently; it will take a long time for the sting to decrease. Be around positive people that will encourage you.

I know that you miss Jon. He was a huge part of your life. It is a big hole in your heart that will never heal completely.

Your voice will be heard, if it doesn't happen the way you want, it may be in another way. You just don't know right now. Something good will come from this sad time.

Love ya,
anonymous!

I dedicate this to you my girl friends ~ So g/f's who is who! Laughing I am!

5 stages of Grief & my Dear Husband ~

1. Denial 2. Bargaining 3. Anger 4. Despair 5. Acceptance

Despair ~
I only pray that one day he will be able to move to another stage ~ he seems to be stuck!
When he is ready he will read ~

Posted by a friend the day our "son" left us ~ November 30, 2007

I am aware that there are already groups out for Jon, but both have improper spelling of his first and last name. I have created this group out of request by his little sister.

Jon will be missed by all, forgotten by none, and carried on through each one of us for the rest of our lives. He carried a huge place in a lot of people's hearts, and for that, we must be thankful. Not only has he helped us to learn the power of laughter in sorrowful times, but he has also taught us each to not take life for granted.

Jonathan was an unbelievable son, brother, and friend. He will forever be imprinted in our hearts, and may his soul be carried on forever through the memories we have of him.

Jon is in a better place, where it's safe and sound. He is looking down on each of us, and I know he wants us to all be strong. Jonathan fought until he couldn't fight any longer, and now he's resting in peace.

R.I.P. Jonny boy, we all love you.
Yes, we do love u~

I found this in Photobucket ~

Michael, Me & Jon - 2005 I think... Now I can go to bed happy..
