Happy 40th Jonathan. You are forever the baby of our family - 7 when I went to college, 19 when I got married, the third child so rules didn’t apply - r rated movies before you could talk (a bag of popcorn over your head during basic instinct); late night dinners with the family when still sitting on moms lap; 11 pm bike rides on the boardwalk hearing us talk about crushes and kissing as you sat on the back of my bike; going on dates with me and jimmy and Sabrina and Essene and thinking we gave you shots when it was water. You got an SUV when you were 17 and had no curfew and mom fixed your schedule at HM so you had frees first period. Your girlfriend slept over when you were in 11th grade! Sabrina and I begged mom for years to have another baby. You were worth the wait. You were the most loved child by your Family and friends and football team, the receptionist at the dentist and the guys at the garage. You were full of life and hugs and we will always hear that hoarse voice and amazing giggle. It’s impossible to think about where you would be now and impossible always to ever imagine the Family without you. Happy Birthday Jonathan. We love and miss you every day forever and ever. Love you, The Family
