I am so sorry for your loss. I met Jason when I was seven, in second grade at Oak Park. Then I went through twelfth grade at Tech. And, Cindy, I am so glad you chose Tech for high school. Not only were Jason's sweetheart from the start, but you are one of the sweetest friends I have met. I am at such a loss of words. Jennifer and John, know that you were blessed with your Mom and Dad- what a pair of sweethearts. You two must be as sweet as them. God bless you three.
