Remembering Jason

I hope everyone will take some time to add a thought or message to Jason's family or even leave something that went unsaid to Jason that you wish you could have said. I hope this to be a great support site for family and friends who will always remember what a great guy Jason is.
I know there are many people who took pictures and video at the services. Feel free to send copies or links to me at tolmanma@gmail.com.

Coroner's Report is Back

Kelly called today to let me know that she got the coroner's report from the autopsy. Jason passed of natural causes of which he had Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy. It is a thickening of the heart muscle to the point where blood is not pumped efficiently or at all. It can be genetic and it has symptoms like asthma. For more information you can go to http://www.4hcm.org/flash/ it is an organization dedicated to the disease. You can go here http://www.4hcm.org/newsroom/7527.html for some fact sheets if you don't want to surf the web.
I am considering starting a nonprofit in Jason's name to raise money for continued research against the disease. I was thinking we could hold some sort of annual sand dunes rally or something. Let me know if anyone else is interested or has an idea.

We continue to appreciate your love and support and I know Kelly does too.
