Thank you to all the community and family for the love of Jonathan Michael Graham. I felt all the love and prayers as I am sure family members and close friends did, too. A couple people that were left out of the survivors were Uncle Donald Graham and Grandma Joyce Simons. There are too many to mention. Again no words can express my feelings of gratitude and all the love. It will be a long and very tough road ahead, but with awesome memories we will get through. Again, thank you. Special thank you to the emergency crew, Carrie Bauer, Officer Simon Ford and Al Badgley. I love you all. I love and miss you, Jon.
The celebration of life for Jon was something I have never experienced in my life. All of Jon’s close friends dug his grave, as did family. It was very emotional and tense yet quiet and very special. Everyone took turns. As this was happening, I told everyone the timeline of events that took place right before I was told of this horrific tragedy. Please, everyone, have a designated driver or stay where you are at. Have a plan in place and have people there to help stick with it. This is a sincere plea from a mother that has just lost one of the loves of her life.
