I am so sorry for your loss to the family. As we came to visit my grandmother at the cemetery today, my mom for some reason gravitated to my grandmothers new neighbors. After reading his name I realized the familiarity that when I was in elementary school my mom worked in his classroom at a time and I liked to go and assist my mom with some students off the school bus and also spend time with at recess. My mom and I remembered how Jason was always so pleasant and happy with a smile often on his face! Rest In Peace Jason…our prayers our with your family.
