Dear Peg and family,

We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son.  I know how proud you are of him.  Although we do not know of his struggles, our hearts are breaking for all of you.  I cannot begin to imagine your sorrow but want you to know that you are in our hearts and prayers and we hope that some day you will find some peace.  The loss of a child has to be devastating, so hang on tight to all the memories and good times.  I am sure he is smiling down on you and hoping that you can dry your tears and find some peace.  Jesus called him home for his own reasons that we may not understand but we have to remember that he is now in good hands.  Love to you all.  Orv and Janell

So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Love Maureen and Family

My deepest sympathies to the family thru this time. I Love Y'all! Nicki & Family

Dear Terry, Peg, Andrew & extended family,

We were saddened to hear of Johnathan's unexpected death.   I can't even pretend to know what you are going through.  But I do know that a parent never brings a child in to the world expecting to lose them.  If we thought that would happen, we may decide not to take the risk -- but how sad that would be.  Think of all the joy we would have missed....their first words, their first steps, their first day of school, getting their driver's license, their graduation...and so many other firsts.  And you were doubly blessed with twins!  They say twins share a special bond and what one doesn't think of, the other one does.  I'm sure raising twins, at times, was a challenge but also double the joy.   The important thing is to focus on how Johnathan lived, not on how he died.  Cherish all the happy memories...the holidays you shared as the boys grew, the birthday parties & the family time you shared. 

A friend shared this poem with me when I lost my Mom in 2001.  While it didn't bring me much comfort at the time, it does now as I re-read it each time I include it in a sympathy card.  I truly believe that our memories are what keep our loved ones "right there in our hearts".  Talk about Johnathan often, keep his memory alive.  Hoping that time will heal your hearts.   With sincere sympathy, Dave & Amy & family

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

Author Unknown

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.

And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye.

For all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we share and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized, that this could never be,

For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gate, I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne,

He said "This is eternity and all I've promised you.

Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last.

And since each day's the same, there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.

Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.

So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?"

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. May you find strength in our God and Lord Jesus Christ.  Hang on tight to each other and the happy memories you have with Jonathan. I will keep you in my daily prayers. Love always Becky1

Dear Terry, Peg and Andrew,

Rose Kennedy once said the following:  "It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree.  The wounds remain.  In time, the mind protecting it's sanity covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone."  If anyone can understand the loss of a child, she surely could.  For the rest of us we can only sympathize and pray for you.  My your memories sustain you in the difficult days and weeks ahead.  My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.  

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. If you need anything PLEASE LET ME Know. 

Love

 Orrin Weivoda

Terry, Peg, and Andrew- Our hearts ache so for you.  We pray for your family- for true comfort that only comes from God.  That you feel His presence, and find strength to just get through today...and in the heavy days to come.  We, also, are not able to be with you, Saturday- but know we will lift you up to Him that day.  In sympathy, Ken and Pam     "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Rev 21:4  

DEAR PEGGY, TERRY, and Andrew,  my heart aches for all of you. Words simply cannot express the sorrow I feel.  God has His plan for all of us....suffering is not excluded.  John is safe and without any turmoil.....and will continue to always be your guardian angel.  God will continue with our journey!  Let them bring you peace! Hugs to all.  Wishing I could be present for the funeral....but circumstances do not allow.  Please ....know that we remain with you on our unknown journey.  Luv...Rose and Marv

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Love and  prayers  to your  Family  Peggy4
