Jonathan, I remember the first day you came to the clinic with your brother and sister. I knew you would not have an easy time. I did not know how many lives you would touch. Thank you for your special gift.Gayle Burns
May the hearer of prayer continue to strengthen your heart and soothe your soul during this most difficult time.Lean on one another as the days ahead becomes to hard to bear alone.Share your memories they will be a source of comfort that can help you to cope and grant you peace.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. One so young is all the more difficult to bare. Perhaps knowing the comforting hope God's Word supplies will be of help to lesson your sadness somewhat. While on earth Jesus Christ performed resurrections back to earth, including a young girl back to the arms of her parents. (Luke 8:49-56) This was a demonstration of what he will do on a worldwide scale. John 5:28,29 speaks of a resurrection. Revelation 21:4 tells us that the earth will no longer see pain, sorrow or even death. Isaiah 25:8 says that Jehovah God will swallow up death forever. Job 14:13-15 tells us that God "yearns" to do this & that a time limit has been set for that wonderful day. Until then, may reading these scriptures be of comfort..
Lit a candle in memory of Jonathan Westerheide
I can still feel Jonathan in my arms as we "danced" to the radio. He showed me the reason why I became a nurse..One night, while intently listening to a radio sermon, he startled me by clearly saying "God loves.". Jonathan rarely spoke, but he could say"I love you." Jonathan WAS love. He is running through the clouds, now. The world lost a treasure, but heaven gained a star. Love and sympathy to the family and nurses who cared for him. Debbie Thomas Smith
