A friend of mine died today.

Laura, he sounds like a very special man. I know he was proud to call you his friend. How heartwarming that the nurse enabled having David with him that last night.

You will all be in my prayers.

Laura, what a sad time for you and his family. I lost two immediate family members within 6 months of each other so I know a little what they are going through. Life can be harsh sometimes but the good times and memories do help a little.

It was nice that the nurse allowed David to spend time with Jason. :)

How tragic. :( But what wonderful hospital staff to allow the kitty in to be with his human for his last few hours.

I'm so sorry, Laura. {{{hugs}}}

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be sure to include Jason and his family in my prayers. Thank you for posting his picture. He was very handsome.

Truly heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

so sorry about your friend Laura.
{{hugs}}

I'm so sorry for you lost. Prayers coming your and his family way. :(

Too young. :( :( :(

Jason was such a handsome man. Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. *hugs*

Laura, I am so very sorry for you and Jason's family. I think it is the friendliest thing ever that the nurse helped to smuggle David in.

Laura,

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I have a wonderful friend that cared for my aunt in New Mexico for years. He is HIV+ and the most wonderful, caring man you ever met. That's the funny part. I've spoken to him on the phone for years, but have yet to meet him!! :eek: We talk on the phone weekly.

Take comfort in knowing that your friend is at peace.

(((((HUGS))))))))) to you

Jason Alan Bowles January 2, 1980 - June 10, 2006 26, born in Hahn, Germany. He was preceded in death by his father, MSgt. John D. Bowles. Jason is survived by his mother, Dalene; sister, Jerri Ann; grandmother, Bea Copeland and two aunts and one uncle living in Texas. Jason moved to Tucson in 1992. He received his diploma from Palo Verde High School in 1998, where he grew very fond of photography. Jason was by far the strongest, most courageous young man anyone could ever know. He was faced with unimaginable hurdles in life. He passed on Saturday, after fighting a fearless battle of ill health. Our hearts go out to the doctors and medical staff of UMC. Services will be held Friday, June 16, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. at Elmwood Memorial Park in Abilene, Texas. We love you! Arrangements by BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL, 6910 E. Broadway
