    Oh John, I am so very sorry about Jason’s passing. I have been praying for him since everything happened some years ago. I will now pray for you, Ann, and Linda. This has to be devastating. May he, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace, and May God grant you His peace, as well. ❤️

    Your mom and dad grew up with me and you grew up with our kids, like having another son. Luann and I always got a laugh from you every time you were around. We love you and will miss you always.
