From Mike

Kelly, my name is Mike Chappell and I wanted to pass on my deepest sympathy for your loss. I knew Jason very well during the first half of his life and miss him very much. I used to run around the streets of Mesa with Jeremy, Ben, Jason, and Cameron. My two brothers, Tim and Chris, and the Tolman boys definitely left our mark on the Southern and Val Vista area. Most of my childhood memories were with this group of little rascals. Jeremy and Tim were always the older ones with the girls as friends and Cameron and Chris were the little guys running around doing our biddings. Ha! =) We definitely got into our fair share of mischief. I think we were all such good friends back then because of the bond between two sisters – Paula and my mom, Kathe. It is really quite amazing to look at these two women and look at all the things they have been through together… everything from marriage, children, mother’s death, dual family vacations, divorce, a burned house, brother’s death, moving huge distances, father’s death, and now a son’s & nephew’s death. I think I am telling you this because there is great value in the example of these two women--the bond of two sisters that does not break. Other than that I just wanted to say that there are generations of family and history you have joined through meeting and loving Jason. And there will be generations of family and legacy that yours and Jason’s kids will build. Family is Forever.
My love,
Mike
