Mary (Warren) and Ron Martz

Dear Donna and Ronnie,

We were so sorry to hear just today of Jason's passing. We had so hoped he had won this battle. We know no words are adequate for a loss such as this. I personally have so many fond memories of Jason visiting our home as a teen and later as an adult after returning from war. We will forever cherish his sweetness, his tremendous sense of humor, and his deep love for and loyalty to his family and friends. We will keep him alive in our hearts with these memories and know that he lives on somewhere beyond human sight, I'm sure keeping an eye on all of us and making more than one angel laugh somewhere. If there is ever anything you need, even if you just need a shoulder, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you love and comfort,

April 27, 2014

You are our constant joy...
Mom and Dad

Aunt Donna and Uncle Ronnie..
Even though he was (and still is) my cousin, and though I never really saw him much or was even close, it still hit me pretty hard when I found out.
It feels like I lost a big brother. When I was little and I knew he was overseas, I still remembered him in my prayers when Daddy prayed with me at night. I feel the same now just as I did when we lost Jonathan.
Dad loved him so much, just as we all did. It's really hard to believe he's gone.
I love yall soooo much!!!!

Although I never had the great fortune to meet Jason in person, I know his parents and grew to love him through them. I have been truly amazed at the courage and strength he has displayed, and his grace has been an inspiration to my whole family. Rest in peace and I hope that the happy memories his family holds dear will one day bring smiles to their faces again.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this very difficult and painful time. The loss of a spouse your life partner is tragic, I pray you have many special memories to fall back on that will help in those sad times.
The loss of a child is the most tragic of all losses, Donna and Ronnie I continue to pray that God will take the pain in your hearts away as he did mine when Frank passed. May God our Father lift you both up and carry you over the next several months and years. My love to all of you, Diana
