Our beloved and cherished Jon will be spending Christmas with Jesus this year.  He died surrounded by most of our family last night, December 23rd, around 7:00pm.  We know he is now pain free and joining heaven at the most joyous time of year.  We, however, are devastated.  We will forge ahead and celebrate the birth of Christ the best we can but life will never be the same.  Please keep our son, Nicholas, in your thoughts and prayers as he works to understand and comprehend what he witnessed last night.  

May you all be blessed and loved extra so this season for all of the love and support you have shown my family.  God speed to Jon, and Merry Christmas to everyone.
