  2. We can see your smiling face Jonathan as you are being welcomed into HEAVEN. You were just a young boy when we moved to Asheville where our yards connected and our families became lifelong friends . It was such a joy and pleasure watching you grow into such a wonderful young man and taking care of your parents and the farm. All of us in the neighborhood will miss your GREEN THUMB and the beautiful garden of vegetables that you so generously shared with us. GOD will be so happy to have you in Heaven and helping to keep HIS flowers and gardens beautiful. We love you.
