Happy 23rd. Birthday Sweetheart  / Mom
Dear Jonathan Another Birthday is here and you're not. It would have been your 23rd. and yet the day is so sad. I celebrate it in my own little way and I'm sure that you were standing right next to me when I sang Happy Birthday to you. I released your balloons and stayed with you for awhile but the pain of knowing that you are gone is just to much for me to bear sometimes. This ache that is inside my heart can be overwelming and the suffering is beyond words. I will continue to tend to your grave and keep it looking the best I can. I just need you here with me so much. I miss our long talks together till the wee hours of the morning. We could tell each other anything and everything. There are things I told you and you told me that no one else will ever know about. I will hold those memories deep in my heart forever. Life is not fair but one day I will have joy in my heart again but for now I look at your pictures and read your journals. The words you wrote were tender and had a truth to them. I will treasure those books forever. Till we meet again. Stay close and keep sending me those signs. I love you Jonathan. Mom Close

I miss you  / Richard F. (Friend / Admirer )

John, I don't know if you have the internet up there but I know that you are in the hearts of all those you touched. You were a friend and a brother. I can't think of you without tears welling up in my eyes. I can't cry for family I have lost but for you, the tears run free.

 

You touched so many people in your life and were stolen away. I guess you filled your purpose. You gave joy and laughter to those around you and showed everyone, especially me that no matter what there is still true kindness in this world. You have renewed my faith in humanity. If everyone had 1/100th of the heart you did this world would be a better place. I know you made mine brighter just by gracing me with your smile. I know one day I will see you againa and that is when I will no longer cry. You are missed every day and I long to hear you laugh once again.

Rest well my brother and watch over those who are less fortunate than us.

On Your Second Anniversary In Heaven  / Mom
The stillness of the morning wakes me, but I cannot see why there begins another day when my sons not here with me. The house feels strangely silent and his room is a lonely place. I long to touch his soft blonde hair and kiss his strong sweet face. I'll never hear him call "Wassup" anymore. I'm left with only memories, please Dear God-don't let them fade. Deep in my heart, His spirit lives. His laughter I still hear. He'll always be my son, though I can't hold him near. I miss you so much Jonathan. The pain is still so heavy on my heart. I will always love you and one day we will be together again in Heaven. Save a place for me. Love, Mom Close

You're Still Here  / Mom
I know this is something that you would say to us.  Just because I no longer stand in front of your eyes doesn't mean you can't see me. Close them, I am there. Just because I am no longer there to show you I love you doesn't mean my love is gone. Place your hand over your heart, feel it's beat. I am there. I am with you always and we are still with each other and will be forever. Close

A Year And A Half Later  / Mom

A year and a half ago tonight you left us. 18 months is nothing. It feels like 18 minutes to me. I can remember everything about that night. Everyone who came to the house and everything that was said to me and I somehow want to forget it all, but I can't. It's all still to raw. I feel so lost without you Jonathan. I need you here so we can have one of our long talks. I'm sure you remember them. We use to stay up till the wee hours of the morning just talking. We could talk about anything and everything to each other. We felt each others pain and joy. It was a special connection. I was thinking of something the other day. Your Birth Certificate showed me that you were born. Your Death Certificate showed me that you died, but the pictures I have of you show me that you lived. Your life was full, even though it was cut short. You left us to soon, but my memories of you in my heart and those of you in our pictures will last forever. I miss holding you in my arms and hearing you say, I Love You Mom. I know in my heart that you are with us. I can feel you. Stay close. I love you and miss you with all my heart.

I comend Jean for being so strong and brave!  / Nicole Hecht

I lost my brother just over four years ago to a car accident. My family and I are survuving each day from the memories and have the strength from the belief that Sean is our angel!! I am a resident of New Jersey and read the AIM Newspaper article of Thumbs Down. I read the thumbs down a person  wrote about road side shrines and I comend Jean for firing back at that person stating all true facts. I am now an only sibling since the passing of my brother, and it's difficult to have to live this life now. My family and I take each day at a time. And I am writing to tell Jean how proud I am of her for her strength and courage. Although I have never met her, the response she wrote to the person, was greatly appreciated. Considering how I, myself, have gone through this horrible life altering experience and my family and I do have a shrine at the road side location where my brother passed. After my mom read the person's negative comments in AIM Newspaper, it made her very upset. She called my and wanted me to write in and respond. Before I had the chance to Jean quickly responded. I thank you for responding and defending all of "Us" in these tragic situations. Jonathan was a very handsome young man, and my family and I send our condolences. May god bless you and your family.

You were there for me when i needed you most. You befriended tons of people and never judged a book by its cover. Dont forget that we all LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND ALWAYS WILL!!!!!!!!!

Dedication In Your Memory  / Mom
It's a beautiful Spring day today. March 30,2008 and we had the dedication of the new keyboard/organ in church for you. It was given in your memory by your Dad. The song played at the beginning of the service was, Amazing Grace. The same song that was played in church the day we layed you to rest. It's these special things that we do to remember you that help get us through another day without you. There will be more things to come and I know in my heart that you are there for each and every one. Dad, Katie and I love you so much and miss you more than words can say, but you knew you were loved when you were here with us. We said it to each other everyday and I will keep on saying it to you every day until the day we are reunited again. I love you my sweet child. Stay close to us. Close

To Everyone who was friends with jon  / Amanda Beck (friend)

Jon was a wounderful guy . He was a great person to talk to. He was always there for you in good and bad. He always had advice for you weather you wanted to hear it or not. I will always remember that when he showed up at the mall he always yelled YEAHHHHH!!!!!!! We all had great times hanging out together. He was like a brother to all of us and we'll miss him dearly. He will always have a special place in our hearts. We loved him and always will. He is in heaven watching down over us as we right on his web page. He is up there laughing with us ane maybe sometimes at us when we do something funny or not so smart but funny.I just want to say that he was like me and like the rest of us in a different way but were all the same. I am sure that the rest of you feel the same exact way that i do. I want to let all of you know if need anyone to talk to you can contact me at my email anytime. I will be glad to talk to anyone who needs to talk. That the simularity between me and jon. He always wanted to help the best he could and so do I. He was one of our best friends and will always be our best friend. I know that i think about him sometimes and that i do miss him, but i know that he is with me always in my heart. Boy is it hard to find more to say about jon because there is so much to say about him. I know that i will never forget him. My dearest sympathy to the Klug family and feel free to email me to talk to me if anything is on your mind.                      Love, Amanda  Beck

I'm sorry for your loss  / Kathrin S. (haven't known him )
Hello!

I feel sorry for your loss! Your website for your son is beautiful and I think he's up there in heaven smiling down on you now!

I lost my son 2 years ago and I know how hard it is... wish you all the best.

If you like, come and visit my memorial website for Noah (it's in German but there's a possibility to have it translated). That would mean a lot to me.

Yours Kathrin

YOUR SECOND CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN 2007  / Mom
Merry Christmas Jonathan. It's your second Christmas in Heaven. I don't remember your first Christmas in Heaven, that day was a blur because we layed you to rest four days before Christmas in 2006. The greatest gifts I every received was you and your sister. A mother doesn't need any more. It breaks my heart that your gone. I lived for three things in my life and one of them was taken away. I pray that your spirit is with us always. Staying close to us during the holidays no matter which one it is. So celebrate with our family members that have gone ahead of us and who you are with now. One day we will all be together again so until that day stay close and send us signs that you are near. Merry Christmas my sweet child. Close

YOUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY IN HEAVEN  / Mom

How do I start this Jonathan. By asking the question WHY. That three letter word is always on my lips and I don't think I will ever understand it until we are reunited in Heaven. Then maybe I will not have to ask, WHY. I'll be with you and it just isn't important anymore to know WHY. You've been gone one year and my heart aches for you. The pain is terrible. The house is so quiet and empty. Our lives have been changed forever because of a car accident that should have never happened. You didn't deserve this Jon. You were a good person. Had a heart of gold and now that heart no longer beats. I pray that your spirit is always with us. Staying close to us through out our daily routines and watching us while we sleep. I go to the crash site often and the cemetery. Just to be near you and where we layed you to rest. I still have to take care of you even after you're gone. One day we will all be together again, but for now we just hang on one day at a time. Stay close Jonathan, let us know you're there. I love you and miss you with all my heart. That will never change. Sleep well my sweet child.
