I am having a very hard time writing this. Jonah was a special little boy who fought hard. I saw him during his last hours of awareness and I will never forget his struggle. I see it in my mind as if it were yesterday. I am so glad that he doesn't have to feel that pain anymore. I know he's happy and free now. I wish Windfall, Gretchen, and Mosi resolution and peace during this chaotic period in your lives. I am always here for you. You are a wonderful family and Jonah will be forever with you.
Love,

To little Windfall's Mommy and Daddy... I went to school with Windfall Sr. years ago and read of little Jonah's sunset in the Tribune Obituaries. I just wanted to write and let you know that my heart broke for you and I began to pray for your family. I have continued to pray and just wanted you to know that. "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." ~Psalm 23:6 May God comfort you during this time and bring sweet joy to you in your precious memories of your son.

Oh sweet, sweet Jonah...I have tried to come up with something extraordinary to say. I even tried to write a poem to you. But as I have found out, words are hard to come by when you have so much to say...Thanks you for coming back in to my life when you did. You have made me open my eyes again to the importance of cherishing the innocence of childhood- it is so easy to get caught up in the day to day stress of being a stay at home mom of two busy boys, you often forget that soon, your children will be grown and out of the house. Time just flies by way too fast! You have reminded me to cherish every moment I have with my children, the good and the bad. You have reminded me that this world isn't always fair, and that I should slow down and enjoy every day that I am given.
I love you so much Jonah. You have made me a better person. You were so lucky to have had your Mommy and Daddy. They love you more than you will ever know. It was because of you that I was able to rekindle the friendsip that I had with your Mommy and Daddy and I am so blessed to have them in my life once again.
Jonah, I will never forget holding you on Thanksgiving and feeling your warmth. I will never forget how strong you were and the tremendous fight you put forth. I will always remember your soft voice, your kind ways, your beautiful smile, your gorgeous blue eyes, and your adorable laugh.
Jonah, you will forever live in my heart. I will think of you every day. I thank you for letting me travel with you in your journey.
I love you so much.
Spread your wings and fly...
Love Always,

I was on Jonah's team in the PICU. He was the captain and I got choosen to fight with him. AND boy did we fight. My job is hard a times as Gretchen and Windfall can attest to. But thru the tears I am graced with families that are amazing. Gretchen and Windfall, we shared many long talkes and sleepless nights. I am so thankful to have stood next to you during Jonah's last days. You are truely amazing people with a neverending supporting family. Windfall, get to nursing school, soon! I will think of you and your son often. Please don't hesitate to call. Although I didn't get the chance to meet him awake, I could tell he had an astonishing soul. Whenever he wants he can look over my shoulder here in the PICU to guide me thru difficult cases. Mosi, you are so special, thank you for loving your brother so much and taking such good care of your parents. Finally, Jonah....if you COULD HAVE you'd have painted purple on my face that day, you'd have hidden my dressing and syringes when I needed them and you'd have said good night every time I left the hospital. NOW THAT YOU CAN, watch over your family and as I told you before, remind them of you in raindrops and butterflies!! You'll be missed little one.

Oh, my little Jonah man, how honored I feel to have known you, and how blessed I have been to be able to love you. You have made the world a more beautiful place. But now there is a big hole in it where our Jonah should be.
I will think of you, and I will love you, and I will kiss your face everyday of my life.
Save me a seat in Heaven. We didn't get much time here, but we will have all eternity together. Thank you for letting me be your grandma and thank you for being my very precious grandson.
I'll see you later, in Heaven, my baby Jonah. Grandma Pam##imported-begin##Gramama Pam##imported-end##

Jonah....Forever Yours.....
You never really lose anybody you have loved. No matter what has seperated you--time, distance,even death--the love you shared and the soul you encountered through that love is yours forever in your heart, in who you are and how you love.
Jonah, beautiful, beautiful baby, I know that you carry the love of your family with you. It is still, now and forever, alive and with you. Be comforted until you see them again, which will be like a twinkling of an eye for you.
Our heart's are with you Gretchen, Windfall, and Lamossi.
We love you alot, and are here if you need us.
All our love,
Gina, Marty, Sasia, Joshua,Andrea and Terra##imported-begin##Gina Melanson##imported-end##
