Dear Latham family
We didn't know Jason well but he was the first visitor to our son's hospital room after his own cancer diagnosis. Jason's smile, positive attitude and grace were so heartening. We would occasionally run into him at the clinic for treatments or in the grocery store and enjoyed each encounter. He will always be loved and remembered by so many. -- The McFadden family

ReplyDeleteMr. and Mrs. Latham,
ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine how hard this must be for you to be burying your wonderful young son. It is hard to make sense of such a tragic loss, but please know that he touched so many lives with his ready smile and his caring nature. I always enjoyed each of your children, and I hope that your close family will be a source of support in the painful days ahead.
Sincerely,
Marcia Lichtman
