Dear Friends,

It is with great sorrow that I write to tell you that Jason passed away today due to complications of leukemia.

Early this afternoon, he passed quietly in his sleep, without pain, surrounded by friends holding onto him in love.  For those of you who sent messages, I read them all to him this morning.  He was not aware of anyone today,

Oh, no. I'm sorry to read this, Paul. You and yours are in my thoughts.

Thank you, Dan.

I'm so sorry, Paul. I will miss Jason, too.

Keep us posted if we can help with anything.

Nearly seven years ago, I walked in your shoes. Fallcon died on a christmas morning. We didn't get a full two years together but we used those months wisely, ithinnk.

I know you and your Jason used your years well and loved much. That love has not died, he lives in your memories. Blessings on you and may his memory be ever crystal clear to you.

I am so sorry for your loss, and on that day. I had a difficult time with Jason's death being so near my birthday, but Christmas when not just you but everyone would be trying to celebrate. I can't imagine that.

Thank you for your empathy. You are right, the love has not died and I will cherish the memories.

We grieve with thee

Know that you are thought of and prayed for by this pagan minister who reads your entries in the customerssuck

I offer the following in the hope that it may bring some measure of comfort, however small, to you and yours in this time of grief:

What is Dying, by Bishop Brent

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says “She is gone”. Gone Where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just the same now as when last I saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her come over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout “There she comes!” That is what dying is. A horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

Thank you. I have heard this before at a funeral and I quite enjoyed it in the spirit that it was meant, not the reason I was hearing it.

I forgot to tell you that we did read this at Jason's memorial. Thank you again.
