what you have tought me while you were up there<3 / Kaitlyn Barnes (sister) Jon, you have tought me so much! But the one thing that means the most is that you tought me That insted of being selfish and mean, you should care for others because one day you might wake up and never see them again. you may never get to see there smile or receve there hugs and sloppy kisses on the cheak, you may never here there voice and spend time with this persion ever again. and you might not of had a chance to say good bye. i just want you to know that you ment so much to me and that i realy miss your sloppy kisses on the cheak, you worm hugs and our times togeather. I would do anything just to have you back again. just to see you smile once more, just to hug you once more. and i dont have you anymore and i wish i did so much and when i see my friends fighting with there sisters or brothers it makes me upset because thay dont kno how it would feel if they lost there brother/sister and i wish thay know what you tought me. i am so glad that you tought me that, now i have o be the oldest sibling here and take care of brooke, and i will take care and love her as you did us. I LOVE YOU BIG BRO!
Kaitlyn
RIP/ Courtney Crislip (Schoolmate) When I heard this, i was in complete shock. Immeadiatley it popped into my head that I knew Jon. He was in school with me and i just remember him being so funny, such a nice guy, and his smile just lit up the room. Now he's in heaven doing the same thing. -Courtney
My condolences for your loss / Ravnostic V. (none-found site through Jon's mom ) I'm so sorry for your tragic loss--it's not fair that a parent has to survive the loss of a child. Best wishes to you and yours.
Elementary School / Coleen Yazurlo (Schoolmate) I went to elementary school with Jon. He was in my fifth grade class. I don't remember much about fifth grade due to a serious illness, but I remember Jonathan was one of the only people that never treated me differently because I was sick. I feel horrible learning about the events over a year later, but I wanted to express my sorrow to his family and closer friends and let them know how much of a sweetheart he was and he will be watching over us all now
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend. Somewhere in this bitterness. If I'd stayed up with you all night, then I'd know how to save a life. RIP Jon Barnes-- May angels lead you in
You Are So Beautiful Jon / Janeane Bricker Brandons Mom Jon is a beautiful boy. He was just as cute as he grew older as he was when he was little. What a beautiful smile that could light a room. Please except my deepest heartfelt condolences. I lost my only son in July in an atv accident. So unfortunatly I do understand the pain. Shock and denial are just wearing off for me. Only God knows why we have been faced with the worst thing that could ever happen in our lifes and I'm praying God helps us threw it. If only I could fix things neither one of us would be here. Jon will always be loved and missed but he will never be forgotten. What a smile !!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful son with me.
My Grandson / Grandma Jon, I'm sitting here this morning just watching the sun dancing off the ice crystals on everything. It reminds me of all your energy and strength and that great big smile. I miss my grandson so much. Give your mom some extra big hugs. She is trying really hard to have the strength you would want her to have and carry on. We all love you and miss you and know we will be together again one day. Love, your Grandma
Happy Valentine's Baby / Mom
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS>>>>>XOXOXO
Jonathan/ Rachel Ebanks Hi Carole I am so sorry for the loss of your Jonathan, he is such a handsome young man. This is not how it supposed to be, we shouldn't be looking at our angels' memorial sites, they should be with us.
Words to Comfort / Elissa Smith (A friend of your moms from daily stgrength )
To Jon and his Family,
Thank you for sharing the story of your loss with us. I know there are times you would rather shut the door, crawl back in bed, tell the world you have had enough... I don't think that's what you do... Carole keeps reaching out to me with comforting words... until I feel like I know all of you through her. My heart goes out to all of you. Hugs and Prayers Cara's Mom Elissa I am also John's mom... I have a son named John, as I told your mom when I first wrote to her John means a gift from God. I do see my son as a gift and my daughter.... we just live in different parts of the universe... Much Love and Prayers to all of you.
Another hurting mom / Rea Mom Of Emile De Miranda Carole, I am right there with you in your pain and anguish in losing your precious son. I read about you on Daily Strength. My son Emile comiitted suicide by haning in 5 Febr 2006, almost one year now. ?The pain of losing a child is unbearable and please know I pray for you and wish you only peace and love. I know our situations are not the same but the pain is the same. You son is always with you and loves you so very much. Blessed Be
We Love And Miss You...Merry Christmas in Heaven!! / Mom And Family Oh how I wish you were here, getting your sisters all excited and wound-up for Christmas morning....Christmas was your favorite Holiday of all. Remember when we disguised your first skateboard in the laundry room. Then you thought you had opened all your presents...then you looked a little disappointed at first. Then we told you where to find the "missing" present....and you were so excited. All you could say was "You got me good!!!" We miss you so much baby, it's not the same without you, no matter how hard we try. Love you always and forever....Mom

Missing Our Angels / Teresa Boger (Visitor) I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my son, Kristopher Johnson at the age of 17. He was born in 1988 and dies in 2005. I wish you peace this Christmas season and we all know that if we could we would go and bring them back home again. God Bless you and make the happy days a little happier and the sad days a little sweeter. We have our special angels with us always. P.S.) I loved listening to his phone messages. It sounded so good just to hear the words, "Hey Mom".
My Tribute To You!!! / Lori
Your name is Jonathan & you left us a year ago today. Everyone that knew you misses you in so many ways!
You are an inspiration to us all. You were chosen to go on a call!
Why and how come we will always wonder. Till the day we meet God and he tells us all what we have pondered!!
You are a chosen one Until the day when you are done.
Oh how I miss him And how our lives feel so dim!
Until I see you again, I can't say
You will be in my mind, my heart each and every second of everyday!!!
How much I love you, oh that will never change.
Love Always,
Lori
Oh How I miss you!! / Lori I sit and I want to try and count the ways I miss you!
I miss you when I see the sunshine that reminds me of your beautiful smile.
I miss you when I see the rain and reminds me of all the tears I will cry for you.
I miss you when I see the kids outside for you were one of them at one time.
I miss you when I see the clouds for you were the inspiration for me to see through everyone's clouds.
I miss you when I see the happiness others have, for when I think of you my happiness is missing because I miss you so much!!
I miss you each and everyday for without you my life will never be the same.
I know you were not my boy, but I miss you like you were.
I try and remember all the good times we had, but my sadness takes over.
I will remember you always and I know its almost a year but it seems like yesterday since you left us.
They say time heals all wounds but I can tell them all they don't know what they are talking about.
I feel as sad today as when they day I heard you had left us.
Please help me get past this, for I miss you so.
I think of you daily and I don't understand. Why he would take you from us all so soon.
I know this is not for us to understand but I ask for help for me and your family because its so hard.
I miss you and love you and this will never change, the boy who brighten my life so you will never know.
Love ya,
Lori
=]/ Anais Eslami (friend) i just wanted to say i missed you... and i love you always and forever =]
i found this for you / Kaitlyn Barrett (little sister ) "So relax now and enjoy!"
My thoughts for you are...
"Life is a garden of loveliness filled with wonder and beauty and it is here quiet wishes come true."
"Heaven smiles softly and hears our every wish."
"Savor these days and nights, for they will never come again."
"All of our tomorrows are the seeds we plant today."
"Give thanks for life's challenges. Every sadness teaches us to know true happiness."
"Friends give our spirits wings and a reason to take flight."
"Each of us is one of life's brightest spirits."
"The guiding spirit within us all is love."
"Only you have the power to unveil the light within yourself and share it with the world."
"Life is precious. There is no time to leave important words unsaid or a kindness undone."
"We are never alone in this world, for we are all connected by heartstrings and hope."
"The heart of humanity is found in the little known kindnesses of others."
"Our lives should never be measured by the richness of our success, but the wealth of our hearts."
"Real friends believe in us even when we doubt ourselves. They help us to become all that we ever dreamed we could be."
Take a deep breath... Laugh out loud... Reach out and hold the hand of life."
"May angels guide your journey today and always."
Happy 18th Birthday, Angel!!! / Your Family
HAPPY 18th Birthday , My Angel! / Mom
Hi Baby...it's your big day, you're 18th Birthday! We celebrated for you, I hope you liked the balloons we sent up to you, they were so beautiful flying up to the clouds....I know you saw Taylor and her family, and Lori, Tyler, Anais and Sam here to help with the festivities. I know you could see how much your sisters needed you here to help break the pinata....the job you were always so good at. We miss you so much. Grandaddy couldn't be here, so he called while he was sending a balloon up to you. He said it headed north, so if it lands here at our house, we will be quite impressed. And Meg said she was going to send a balloon to you from work. I only wish you could have been here on earth with us to celebrate the wonderful day, August 19th, that you came into the world and changed my life forever. You are missed by everyone, please keep visiting us when you can. Forever my precious angel, Love, Mom
Jonathan my angel / Kaitlyn Barnes (Sister)
