View all 13 ReflectionsHi Jon,
Just wanted to say hello and hope you are having the time of your life in Heaven. Though you didn't get that house here on Earth. I'm sure Jesus had quite the Mansion for you. You and my Father have some stories to tell when we get to you. In the meantime. Please keep watching over all of us ❤️
To your Family, seeing all of you has been a Special experience. We have been joined together forever and that Star your Mom saw Still Shines Very Bright.
You will Never be Forgotten.
I will always remember that Jon was side by side as he and my Dad Flew right into Heaven.
So please know you are loved and Jon's Sacrifice that day will never be lost on anyone. I wish you God's love and Peace
