Dear Patty, Jim, Jimmy , I was in Carmel on sabbatical and saw a post on Facebook. My heart aches for each of you. Sending love and care in the midst of such inconceivable tragedy. Holding you close in prayer. Dee Cooper
Dear Patty & Jim – I really wanted to come to the service but I’ve been ill for a week and I am better but not enough to brave the heat and wind. I am so sorry for you and the pain you have had to go through. Please know that even though I can’t be at the service I will be thinking of you and hope to see you when I’m well.
Dear Patty, I am devastated to hear of the untimely death of your son. We have shared many private conversations about your boys over the years and I cannot image the pain you must be feeling at this time. I am so very sorry. Please know that you are in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry to read of the loss of your son. I remember how Jim and I would talk about our kids and parenthood when he’d bring your tax info in those many years ago. I’m praying God’s peace for you, peace that transcends all understanding.
Dr. Wyatt-Harris, I was very sorry to learn about your son. I know the days ahead will be hard for your entire family. I pray that God gives you the strength, courage, love, and peace that you need today and every day. God bless each member of your family. Tisha Mill
Dear Jim and Patty, I am so sorry to hear about Jonny. When he was at TIS, he grew close to my heart as I know he grew so close to many others. I have many fond memories of his smile and his very friendly demeanor. His natural music ability was most impressive and he had a great, fun-loving personality. He leaves a hole in my heart, as I know he has for the many friends that will terribly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Love, Michelle Bolin

You are beautiful and amazing people, and I am so sorry that you have been thrown into this tragic situation. If it’s a cup of coffee, a meal, or just a shoulder, please know I am here for you, you can call any time. Your great nieces send their love and adoration, as always. You are in my prayers.
Dearest Patty and Jim… Your great nieces, Victoria and Penny, and myself, send you our most heartfelt sympathy at this time. Please know that anything you may need, you have but to ask. May your hearts heal with time and love. Our deepest sympathy to you, and yours.

Was shocked to read about Jonny’s death and am very sorry for what you must be going through right now. I remember he and my son, Tim, were such good friends way back in grade school. Will have to pass the info of his passing on to Tim. Such a loss… my thoughts go out to the family. Sincerely,
Dear Patty & James, My condolences on your loss. We lost our son Eric in January of last year, and I should be able to say more, but words fail me, even if I understand what you are going through. I am depressed at the loss of another fine young man. Jonny drove Eric’s friend Nina to our house after Eric’s funeral. George
