Susan,

I came across your son's obituary while searching for Hushy. I see he has passed away as well. I lived at 6548 S. Artesian, and hung around with Hushy during grammar school years. I love those memories...

I lost my wife and daughter 10 years ago in a car accident, so I understand some of what your loss felt like, and still feels like.

My prayers are with your family.

We just happened to hear about Jason and on behalf of my family, I would just like to extend our deepest condolences for your loss - our thoughts and prayers and with you.

Dear Lagoa Family,

My sympathies go out to you for your loss. Jason and I were never close friends in high school, but when I heard about his passing away I couldn't believe it. He was a good guy, and good people need to be acknowledged. You can include me as one of the countless people that I'm sure Jason touched with his loving personality. God bless.

Dear Lagoa Family,

Although I do not know your family personally, I learned of your loss through a dear family friend (Steve Tazalla) and my sister (Ashley Wood), who care deeply about Jason.

My young son is about to emabark on the OLPH/Loyola path, and I cannot begin to understand the emotion you are feeling. As a mother, I am sure the pain in your heart is immense. Please know there are people out there praying for your family and Jason.

Jason is a special guardian angel watching over you forever - now he is resting in God's hands and is in a very good place. May you find peace and comfort in the coming days.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
The Ballarini Family

Mr. and Mrs. Lagoa and Mark,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Jason was like a little brother to me, the best friend of my own brother. Words cannot express the sadness I feel at the loss of such a wonderful, vivacious, funny, loving person; he was one of a kind, a "light up the room" person who touched the lives of everyone who knew him. No matter what, Jason could make me smile and laugh. He will be deeply missed.

Susan,Jose and Mark,
My prayers are with you at this difficult time in your lives. May you find strength in each other as well as family and friends.

I give you this one thought to keep --
I am with you still -- I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone --
I am with you still -- in each new dawn.
