Oh me, oh my, kiddo! How do I say goodbye to my “lil cuz”? Jon, you were my other little brother! I cant even comprehend you’re being gone from this Earth. I have solace knowing that you are with our Father as well as your own Mother now. I’m so grateful that I heard you say “bye Jenny” to me just before you left us simply days before you joined you Mom. I can only believe that you’re gone because Aunt Karen needed you. Keep an eye on us all here; especially Ty. We love you, kid!
I’m so sorry for your families loss. Jon was a good friend to me and I spent alot of time at your house because your family was like family to me and I will always appreciate that. I am praying for your family. This is such a tough loss, especially after the passing of your beloved mom. I am still in disbelief. Sending my deepest condolences.

I once worked for an August Wessels at gsfc. This must be his grandfather. I am so very sorry for the family’s loss. It is so difficult when it is one so young. Thoughts and prayers will be with you. Colette Yost Grigsby
