Jon, Stori was an amazing lady! She was one of the sweetest and strongest persons I have ever met. I am blessed to have met her and called her my friend. My heart goes out to you, and I will continue to keep you close in thoughts & prayers over the next days, weeks, and months. Love, Elaine & Paul

Thank you for sharing these photos, they capture the very essence of my adorable little sister. I am so thankful she had a life with you that many people dream about, I just wish it lasted longer and without the illness.  I am grateful it was filled with all of these experiences. She will inspire me to live life filled with joy and happiness.

My heart is heavy with the loss of my friend. I know that she is now home in the arms of our Father and at peace and I know that I will one day see her again. i remember the first day I met her so many years ago. It was the beginning of a friendship that was a blessing. My deepest sympathy to all her family. May God bless and hold you all.

Thanks for setting this up Jon. So many pictures of dear Stori I had not seen. My heart goes out to you. And my heart goes out to all of my family at this time of loss. We will all be together again. Love, Steele

Jon, so sorry for Stori's passing, RIP "Storie". She seemed so happy when she had a fish in hand, especially you, in or out of water. Claude

I am so proud of you and how you cared for Stori during this horrible ordeal. She is in a better place.

The photos are wonderful and capture the beautiful, fun-loving woman we came to love.  Our hearts go out to you at this time and our hope is that you will find comfort in knowing how much she loved you and your life together, good times and bad.

Jon, Jim and I are so sorry Stori lost her battle with cancer. She was a brave and beautiful lady who will be sorely missed. We pray you may find comfort knowing she is now resting, pain free, in the arms of Our Lord. With love and heartfelt sympathy to you and the family.

Jon, so sorry for your loss. You've shown amazing strength while you took care of Stori. Our heart goes out to you and we're here if you need anything.

For Jon+Stori,

" Jon, there are no words that can describe how we feel. We are all going to miss that infectious smile from that girl in the yellow golf cart! We are so proud of you and Stori for fighting like no others. Be happy she no longer has to suffer and is in a much better place. Love John and Trish "

Jon, when I sent that email last night I had no idea our Gal had past. I am most sorry to hear horrific news. I only wish i had something clever to say but I am speechless. AS you remember she was a great support to me when I had my little bout with that shitty stuff. May God be with you in these very difficult days ahead. She will be watching us for sure, our love, Mike & Vonne

Since the first day Lori and I met Jon and Stori we marveled at their love, commitment to each other, and strength in difficult times. There is a poem "MISS ME BUT LET ME GO" by an anonymous author (access on internet) that has given us peace in difficult times. We would like to share it with you. I can hear Stori expressing the thoughts in the poem. We love you Jon.

Jon,
My condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Jon, Words are hard to find, but my heart is truly heavy for you. We're always here if you want.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this very difficult time.

Stori was an amazing strong lady while she had to deal with that terrible sickness. Jon, you have been a wonderful husband and caretaker till the end. She had to leave with a smile on her face and Stori is at a good place. We will also miss her.
Thank you, Jon, for sharing those happy times with all of us.

Jon, we are so sorry. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To Sweet Stori and Strong Jonathan...
I will always love Stori...I will never forget sharing breast cancer stories with her and I always wished I could be as sweet as Stori...God gave her the wonderful gift of being so sweet and positive even in her very painful times. I cry for her in selfish ways but she is in a place we can't even imagine. Jesus is holding HER now!

Jon, cancer sucks but you not only walked the road once but twice...Stori is my hero and so are you. Hugs!

Since the beginning of time couples have fallen in love and been joined in marriage-a precious few are blessed to have found their soulmate. Stori and Jon knew they were that lucky and shared their lives and hearts with total freedom and abandon safe in the knowledge that each was loving and being loved truly,madly,deeply,unconditionally. Jon and Stori lived their vows every day -well done

Heaven has gained a sweet, young angel. Jon, you & the family are in my heart & prays. She will always be watch over you all and smiling down on you.
