    I had Jason as a middle school music student. He was very talented and resourceful, always helping me to modify activities so he could be fully involved in the classroom. He was an absolute joy to work with. I feel blessed to have known him and will never forget him. I am so proud of his tremendous accomplishments.

    I was a pleasure knowing Jason for these many years. He was always just as everyone has described him - kind, thoughtful, funny, intelligent, soft spoken and talented. We will miss him. Shirley - you have been an amazing mother. I read Jason's poem to you, and I can imagine the two of you together. You anticipated his needs and helped him to reach for his dreams. I hope you will keep in touch once you are back in Iowa.

    Our prayers go out to you. I was always so thankful that Jason had the window open and heard Bill yelling when he fell in the garage and shattered his knee cap. Jason was such an accomplished writer. Again, you have our deepest sympathy.
