Hello Jon. The twins' graduation party is this weekend and as I think about everything we have to do yet I still can't believe you won't be here. I know your looking out for everyone down here and I know your never leaving our thoughts but it's hard to think we won't see you. Keep looking over me and everyone else. Your never forgotten and you will always be missed!!

hey jon! so i thought i would write to you on here for a change. god u were just an amazingly bright and funny and wonderful person and i cant believe ur gone! u were the best big brother i could ever ask for. i remember when i went to my sophmore turnabout and ur mom told you that she was coming to help me get ready and go with me to get my hair highlighted for my dance and u stood up really fast and got really defensive asking who i was going with and if he was nice. all i could do was laugh when i heard that. i knew from that moment that we would always be close and that u would protect me. u always made sure i was ok and that no one hurt me or even got to me. not even jason. whenever he called me shorty u would always stand up for me. i miss that. also my daughter alexandria grace is 2 months old now and i cant even believe that u wont get to meet her. she is so beautiful jon. u would love her so much and she would be another little girl that u would have in ur life to protect and watch out for. i miss going to play basketball with you and jay in the summer. i remember not being able to climb the fence but of course u were always right there to help me. i love with with all of my heart and miss you so much!! i cant wait till i get to see you again!!
ps im gonna leave u a picture of ali to keep with you. please always watch over her as u do all of the people that love and care for you!!

March 9, 2009
When I heard of Jon's passing I was completely shocked. I knew of him through my daughter and heard nothing but nice things he would say and do.
Tracy I have never met you but I feel the need to tell you that I am so sorry for the terrible pain you must be going through. May God help you through these dark days and may you find some sort of comfort in knowing so many people loved Jon. I don't understand why these horrible things happen to good people and why we have to lose such nice kids before they even had the chance to reach their potential.
Rest in Peace Jon

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I met Jon about 2 years ago thru my daughter.He was a very respectable and sweet kid. It is very hard to accept something like this when you have 2 teenagers yourself.He was at my house several times and always seem to be willing to help anyone. All I can say is you his family are in my thoughts and prayers. Jon, do me a favor you are an angel up there now please watch over all your friends and guide them thru the right path in this ever so hard world. RIP your were a great kid.

Jon was like my big brother. (even though i was older) he was an amazing and big hearted guy. i love you tracy, mike, and jason! I remember whenever i went over by their house i would walk up the stairs and knock on their door and jason would tell me to go away but Jon would come and answer the door. he was always either laying on his bed or folding his clothes but they were always listening to music. i used to tag along to his friends with him. he was always the one to protect me from anything. One thing im sad about is that he will never meet my daughter. but i guarantee she will know all about her uncle Jon! i love you jon and miss you like crazy. it will never be real to me that ur gone. even seeing you today laying in ur casket, its like it wasnt you. i know ur always gonna be watching over us and waiting for each one of us at the big gates when its our time to join you! i love you Jon!

Dear Mrs. Bielski and Jason ..
I am very fortunate to be able to say that Jon was one of my really close friends. I've learned a lot through his death and through my friendship with him. He was ALWAYS happy and put me in a good mood. Everytime he called he'd begin the conversation with "Hey best friend how are you.." and would always listen to me and comfort me. Jon was absolutely hilarious and had the cutest smile. All of my friends who met him thought he was adorable and loved him. Jon has made a major impact on my life and taught my close friends and me a lesson about not taking life for granted. I miss Jon everyday and I pray for you guys everyday...I know its not easy but God is taking good care of him now.

I only had the chance to know Jonathan for a few weeks, but he made an impact on my life and all my students' lives. He transferred into my English class and was really working hard. He always had a positive attitude and a smile on his face. My husband had him in a few of his classes as well and said he was a very nice, young man. I just want to offer my prayers for you and your family.

The lives of our children. So precious and so profound. How painful it must be to see one of your children leave this Earth before you. To remember holding them in your arms as babies, watching them take their first step, say their first word, watching them grow into young adults and then setting them out in the world hoping and praying that they retained at least some of what you taught them about life and leaving the rest to God. May you find solace in knowing that Jon is not gone, but simply finished learning what God wanted him to learn on this Earth and ready to move on to something greater than we are able to comprehend. Every life has purpose, and one of those purposes is to touch the lives around us. Jon was a dear friend to one of my children. Yes, he was a Wild Hare, but he had a sweetness and gentleness that could not be denied and therefore will always be remembered. May you find the strength to see your son through the many wonders we witness every day...Sunshine, blue clouds, soft raindrops. May you feel his presence and know that he is at peace and that you need not worry about him. It is now his turn to watch over you. Turn to your faith for strength and God will bring you the clarity you need to see you through this difficult time. God Bless you Jon and God Bless your family. May you rest in peace...

I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
Jonny was the best thing to have ever happened to our beloved Nikki!! He was a son to us, as Tracey & Mike were like parents to Nikki. Family isn't always about blood, it's about love.
Jonny was loved by multitudes and will be sorely missed. He is forever engraved in our hearts.
Our prayers are with all of his family. If there is anything you need don't hesitate to call.
We love you.

We were very fond of your son Jon, he was one of our favorites. He was always respectful and was sure to say hello and goodbye when he visited frequently. There was continous laughter when all the friends were together. He was a good friend to our daughter and would look out for her as if he was a big brother. I know he was loved dearly by many including our Brittany. We are very sorry for your loss. Your family and friends will be in our prayers. We will truly miss Jon. God Bless you all!

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Tom, Tracy and Family,
Jon has gone home to be with his brother. He is safe in God's hands now and we will see him again. You have my deepest sympathy. I love you Jonathan Adam.

There aren't any words that we can say to comfort you on the loss of your son Jonathan. Six months ago, we lost our precious grandson at the age of 18 years old. The loss is still so devasting.

I feel your pain for the loss of our beloved Jonathan. I will miss him dearly not only because he is a part of our family, but because he is a beautiful boy. I am so glad that I was able to see him again last summer and see how he had grown.
May God bless you all and take Jonathan into Heaven with open arms. For God is great in all of God's intentions and will surround my beautiful cousin with love, happiness and long lost friends and relatives.
I love you all so and wish I could be there to convey my deepest sympathies.
God bless
