I thought many times about calling Jon, he was very special to me. It goes to show, life is too short and you should never wait to contact people you care about.

We were shocked and sorry to hear about Jon's passing. We respected him as a person and admired his work. We're reminded of Jon when we sit with our newborn in the nursery that he painted last summer. We offer our sympathies to his family.

I will never be the same without Jon. I loved him as my brother. He always told me I was his sister he never had. I was able to tell him one last time that (love you Jon) he stopped to see me before he left for his trip. Your cousin
