Jason and the Tolman family have really been in my thoughts. Ever since Matt called me and told me the tragic news, my heart aches. I looked at this guest book for the first time today and saw the wonderful blogspot that was made in Jason's honor. As I was watching that beautiful video, tears were streaming down my face. During the scriptural reference in Alma I had received a text from my oldest boy, Dallin, he had just heard in a school wide announcement that his Assistant Principal's wife died yesterday. I was able to text him the entire scripture reference in hope that he would forward it on. I thank the people who put together the video, I thank Jason's spirit for sending me to that blogspot at just the right time to comfort us. "...Jason is in a state of happiness, which is called paradise...where he shall rest from all the troubles, care and sorrow"

What a wonderful feeling to know that Jason is in a better place. Such a hard concept to grasp but without it where would we be. Jason was always fun to be around and it is very sad he had to go...Our condolences go out to the entire Tolman family as this must be a hard time. May our Heavenly Father fill your hearts with the love and spirit only he can provide.

Please accept our deepest felt condolences. It's hard to loose such a young member of your family. Kara is in our ward and has reminded us of the good ol' days in Emerald Acres. We'll keep an eye on her and her little family.
May the Lord shower you all with his comforting spirit.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
