I am so sorry. JC was an amazing person who knew how to light up a room full of sadness. I remember when we were much younger, we used to run around and play tag. He was so strong and caring. He will be missed by more people than anyone can imagine.

JC was a special part of my life. He was a great friend, had a beautiful smile and always knew how to light up a room. His pink shirts always made me laugh -- he always made me laugh. No matter what happened, he was always there to cheer me up and the rest of the "krew." He was a special person and there's noone else like him and I'm going to miss him soooo much!!!!

I know that you may not remember me, but i dated Jc last year and we have been friends ever since. Jc was a very special person in my life, although him and I did not always see eye to eye we both cared for each other very much. I know that nothing i say can bring him back but I want you to know that I dont think that there is any one person the he ever came in contact with that he did not touch their soul. I loved him very much and I just hope that we will all see him again one day in heaven.
You're entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you with a peace of mind and a calm heart.
Love always
Sarah
