Another good guy from the old neighborhood. My condolences to the family.
Our hearts go out to you and your family with the loss of your dear loved one. There are no words to take away sadness when you lose someone you love. In our time of deepest need the tenderness of God is a refuge like no other. He alone understands our sorrows and draws near in love to wipe away our tears
When my mother passed away, we found the resurrection hope very comforting.
May the resurrection hope sustain you. A loved one lost can grieve the heart, and makes us yearn for tomorrow, when Jehovah will keep the promise he made of no pain, no death, no sorrow found at Revelation 21:4.
My deepest sympathy to the family and Donna!!!!
Jason always had a smile, warmth & happiness beamed from his smiles. He lived with a long illness but it didn’t dim his smile. Jason has gone to his eternal home where he’s pain free & walking & sharing stories. He has gone home, we morn his loss but memories of him live in our hearts.
