Jonathan,
The Lord didn't have to do it, but He did.....He gave me you! All I can say on this day of thanksgiving is...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Love you forever, Mommy

Hi Johnny Wonnie! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm finally back in Chicago. I know you were asking me why didn't I come home for my birthday in August, and I told you I would just have to come Thanksgiving and you said ok. Now your not here. It feels good to be home but it's just not the same. Not even really looking forward to Christmas but I will make sure we still decorate the house because I know that's what you would want. I definitely feel your presence here! And you know you will never be forgotten. Love you soooooo much! Tell everyone else I said hi! :-*

Hey Jonathan I've been holding up down here...I still miss you everyday...But I know your in a better place... I miss you man...
I really do...I'll see you when I get there..
Love Thomas

Dear Jonathan,
This was one of the hardest thanksgiving day I had to endure, but when it's all said and done, we have a lot to be thankful for. I had 17 wonderful years with you in the physical and to spend the rest of our life together in the spirit, knowing you're with God the Father gave me great joy in Jesus name. Today at the dinner table I felt your Spiritual presence all around us celebrating Thanksgiving Day with us as one big family, until we talk again. Happy Thanksgiving Day my dear Son.
Love You Always Your Loving DAD.

Heartbroken...I am about to prepare thanksgiving dinner without you being here to celebrate the day.  I am grateful to the Lord for your presence in our lives. The holidays will never be the same. Miss you so much...and then I say, Thank you, Lord." So grateful for His Blessings in giving us You. Love you, Mommy

Me and Granny were just thinking of you, gosh, we miss and love you still, always and forever. Never be forgotten, that's for sure. Always in our hearts, thank you Jesus!

Been thinking about you all week "J", no Thanksgiving, no Christmas will be the same without you. We miss you so much, gosh, I wish we could go back...miss and love you so, so much. Days without you are just hard, I hold my heart and look at your pictures and smile. In a better place, that's true and for sure, just wish you were here with us. God loved you first and more than we will ever image, you're an angel in the Lord's army, wow, praise the Lord and I thank God for you every day! Glory be to God! Love always Auntie Nene!!

Just thinking about you...as I do all day, everyday. Grateful to God for the memories. At peace knowing your whereabouts...wishing there were visiting hours in heaven. In Glory we will meet.
Love, Mommy

My Gentle Giant,
You exemplify the true meaning of life. This is not goodbye…this is, see you when I get there. You showed me how to live life to the fullest on a daily basis. You were my hero. When God said “I made you in my image,” He was referring to you. You will truly be missed physically, but loved every moment spiritually. Your loving Dad!

The backyard basketball court, the basement where we hung out and the car rides from when I would pick you up from school will never be the same. You were my best friend. When I had no one else to talk to, I could always go to you. I love you, man. You will be deeply missed. 
Love your older, shorter-big brother, Thomas

I can only imagine the conversation you’re having with Papa, Uncle J, Grandpa George, and Darryl. Until we meet again in Glory! Love you always, Mommy

, grateful to the Lord to see another day. What joy I had when we held each other’s hand as we prayed every morning and night. What joy I had watching you succeed when others had given up on you. What a joy to see your strength, courage and perseverance. God sent me an Angel. I love you more than you’ll ever know….you already know. I am honored to have been your Mom for 17 years.

My Sweet Angel,
One-fourth of my heart is broken. My life will never be the same without your presence. Everyday routines are empty without you. What joy I had watching you grow up before my eyes, once dependent and clinging to me for the littlest things, and then independent…able to do it all by yourself. What joy I had to see your handsome face every morning…sleepy eyed, gruffy and smiling

Your memorial dinner was beautiful. I felt your presence there...and those in attendance could feel it too. Love and Kisses to those who came. We miss you so much. Love you so much!!!
Mommy

Peanut, your Granny miss and love you so much.

Hi Johnnie Wonnie! Miss and love you dearly :-*

Love and miss you much, Jj, just image how visible you are. Thank you Jesus! Never, ever forgotten, praise Jesus for your life and how you changed mines. Love Auntie Nene!

Your memorial was beautiful with family and friends, you've made such an impact on many lives. Praise God!

Love and miss you Jj, still...so unforgettable, everyone loves my necklace and I think of you always and forever. Love Auntie Nene!

Love and miss you much Jonathan. Glad you're in a much better place now. -Kayla

Just thinking of you....miss you terribly. This is a different normal. So difficult to function without you. In the Lord's house there are many mansions....your room was ready for you and I'm at peace with that.
Love you so much...Mommy

Still...gone too soon! Love and miss you Jj. Love Auntie Nene!

What a blessing you were to your family and friends, you are truly missed. Thank you Jesus for my nephew's life. Praise the Lord for 17 years on earth and eternal life with the King! Love you Stink!

Even through the cloudy days, I can still see Jonathan's face in the clouds...thank you Jesus, He is truly amazing and gives me comfort when I think of missing you in the flesh. Love and miss you Jj. Still seems to be surreal, but I know you are right in my heart, praise the Lord! Love Auntie Nene!

Jj, thinking of you and pulled up on a license place that said...J 7 and I just smiled, you will never, ever be forgotten Jonathan. I just can't image what your new life must be like now. I know it is simply amazing, and what is so fitting for an amazing kid who lived an amazing life and had an amazing family, love ones and friends. God is just so amazing, I thank God for you always.

Still hard to image, you are not here with us...miss and love you Stink!

Granny, love and miss you too!

God is so amazing...and he has the perfect little angel up there with him. I can't image what God have you doing Jj and how faith and obedient you are just as you were in this life. Mr. Goodie Too Shoes, just like Mommie. Love and miss you so much, I look at the clouds often thinking of you and how you appeared to us. Thank God, glory to our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST, thank you Lord!

These pictures keep the memories of you so close to heart. There is not a second in the day that I am not thinking about you. Miss you so much! Love you so much! I am grateful that I can smile knowing you are with the Lord... Thank you Jesus! Love you, Mommy

Been thinking of you so much "Jj", missing and loving you more, the more we share your story, the more I am amazed at the God that we serve. Can't imagine what you are doing now, only amazed and know we will find out once we see you again. Love and miss you Stink! Love Auntie Nene!

Mr. Man,
Remember when I used to call you that? I carry you with me everyday with 2 angels close by. Love you so much!

Mommy

God is so amazing...Auntie Nene is going to post more pics and stories, Granny misses her little Peanut and I miss you more, I got my heart and it is beautiful, gosh, when I think of you, I know you are right here in my heart forever and forever. You will never be forgotten Jj, you are truly missed and loved. I think about you everyday and hold my heart and smile. We will see you again!

Hi Johnny Wonnie, writing you from New York today here for a tournament this weekend. Just logged in and saw the new pics mom put up of you playing tennis. I remember helping coach your little team you tried so hard to hit the ball but never moved your feet to get there after I kept telling you the ball isnt going to come back to you but you got an A+ for effort! Lol love u always ttyl :-*

I'm back...can't stay away. Love you so much. Still adding pictures!!!

My little Johnny Wonnie! I miss you so much! Sorry it took me so long to get on here but it took me forever how to figure it out. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you or talk to you. You will be forever missed and never forgotten. I will ttyl love you so much :-*

Adding pictures to this site has brought back so many memories. We always had a good time. God has truly blessed us with you. Love u Mommy

Thinking of you today, Jj, have not visited Uncle J's page to post our little angel joining him. Haven't brought myself to do it. Still so fresh, still so surreal. Love and miss you still Jj. Can't wait to get my heart, so happy, you are forever in my heart! Never 4 forgotten, you are "Unforgettable", just thinking of the impact you made in your life. Just can't stop thanking Jesus!

Forever missed Jj...you are so safe in the name of Jesus Christ! Love always and forever, Auntie Nene!

Forever in my heart! Your light will always shine and your heart will always function, praise the Lord. Love and miss you Jj!

Still hard to believe our Jj is not here with us, but the scripture says, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I thank God for you Jj, Auntie Nene will miss you forever and forever. Good to know, that you are with Uncle J, cousin Darryl, Papa and your other relatives. I know this is not goodbye and I know we will see you again. Praise the Lord!

I cannot express how much I'll miss you. Life will never be the same. 
Love you Mommy
