My deepest sympathies and (((((((hugs)))))) to you Kevin.
I really loved jon. He was the sweetest guy, and we had a special friendship. He once reminded me that I was the first person to welcome him here on the DB - little did I know at the time just how special this new guy on the block was going to be to so many of us!
I was only chatting with him in the chat room on the weekend. We were joking and flirting as we normally did. He revealed something that we had in common - we both lost our mothers early in our lives. Something inside me was touched when he mentioned that. It's the little things such as that are what bind people to each other.
If I lived in the States, I'd be there with you Kevin to comfort you. Instead, I'll buy some flowers and put them in my room to remember jon by.
Goodbye jon - I love you.
This world to Jon Was but a tragic play. He came, saw, dislik'd, And passed away. *SNIFF*
Please forgive me for being so concise, I was just trying to say some thing that I could remember Jon by. He spoke for me in a lot of the things he has dealt with. Kevin, I hope everything will go well with you. I want you to be happy and find the support that everybody needs.

Kevin I am sorry to hear about Jons passing. I did not know him, but with what everyone has writtten about him here he sounded like a wonderful person.
My thoughts are with you. Below a poem which I find brings peace to my troubled heart and perhaps yours.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken 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 stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.
