Jonathan Block Obituary

Jon, its been a long time baby. We miss you and love you so much. I am alone now. We lost Marc on November 9, 2018. Marc couldn't talk about you without crying. He missed you and loved you Jon. You were such a special brother to him. I hope you, he, your Daddy, Nana and Papa have connected up there. My heart is so heavy Jon. Its hard to go on by myself and I wonder why God has left me here with all my loved ones gone. I will take Marc's ashes to Breach Inlet to sprinkle where we sprinkled yours, Papa's and your Daddy's ashes. I have asked that my ashes be sprinkled there as well. I want you to look for me when I come up there. Jon, Marc helped me so much after your Daddy died. He found this place for us (we live in Baywinds where Marc used to live). He hired painters, carpenters, bought ceiling fans and took care of all the paperwork for homeowner's insurance, car insurance, everything. I could not have managed it all on my own. He choose beautiful paint and laminated flooring. He had such good taste in decorating. Lily and Sean still miss him and go in his room looking for him. They bark when the garage door goes up because they think he is home. Zach misses you too, Jon. Once he was laying on the couch looking toward the kitchen where I was at the sink, and I said "Jon". He looked at me and knew what I said, but he didn't say anything. He has always reminded me so much of you -- tall, dark, handsome, kind and gentle. He is going to school in Tallahassee so I don't get to see him too much now, but he said he will be coming to see me soon. I have made arrangements to take care of him Jon when I am gone. Jon, I will go now. I'm getting a little emotional. Know that you were loved so much and meant so much to many, many people. The world lost a beautiful person when you left us. Love you, Mom

Jon, we miss you and you know we love you. It's been a long and sad 10 years since we last talked to you. I'm grateful that Christine and Kim still keep in touch. You may know we lost your father in 2014 -- I hope you have been able to reach each other. Marc lived for the day that he could be with you again. Marc and I are are together and talk about you. You were the joy of our lives. Take care, baby boy, and know you are in our thoughts daily.

Love, Mom

Somedays it seems like yesterday and other days it feels like it's been a lifetime since you've been gone. Today I know it's been 10 years! I thought about what I was doing 10 years ago today, it was such a pretty day, just like today. I hope the sun always shines on September 5th.

I just got home from dinner with Kim. She is doing well, busy with her 2 crazy kids. We were talking about making a trip to Charleston, maybe next year. Would be nice to go back.

Live and miss you everyday. I know you're in a better place and that helps. I think of you often!❤

Love Always,

Christine

The day almost got away from me before I could write to you. I thought of you all day. Happy 40th! I love and miss you everyday.

Love always,
Christine

Wow! I can't believe it has been 8 years without you. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and then when I think about all that has changed in 8 years I realize it has been that long. Things are going well here. Working hard and enjoying every minute with my 2 beautiful girls. I know you would love them so much, they are so fun! I will be with Kim tonight for dinner, our usual spot and usual time. You are missed more than you know. I think of you everyday and find comfort in knowing you are doing what you love.

Hello Son;
Well, tonite marks 8 long years without you and today is no different from the day you left us. Marc is doing well, working hard; Mom is still cooking your favorite foods and I just try to stay busy. We have our times with you and remember you and your activities and antics. You are such a beautiful and special person- always have been. We are proud of you and just wish with all our might we could have been there for you in your moment of need. We hurt so much for you. Jon we got a new Sheltie. His name is Sean and he is the new boss in the house. Turns out he is the brother of Lily our other pup. We know you would love them. Hvid and Rane', the Forest cats are totally assimilated with the dogs and play with each other. We think of you every day and know that we miss you. We love you and dream of the day we will have our family back together again.

Love, Mom, Dad and Marc

Hey Jon;
Happy 38th birthday, son. We love you and miss you soo much. Life around here remains the same. Lily gets smarter and more spoiled each day, thanks to Mom. Hvid has lost a little weight but remains the King. He knows he's special. Rane' has finally warmed up to us seeking or attention and affection but neither is a lap cat. Marc continues to work very hard. He doesn't get out here, much. Well son, I'll sign off now. We love you and miss you and dream of the day we will have our family together again.
We love you

Hi buddy! I just got back from dinner with Kim. We went to our usual spot on your anniversary. We talked about you and told stories. I will always remember our lives with you in it. Things change and people move on, but we will never forget. I miss your contagious smile and upbeat personality. You are missed more than I will ever be able to express. I know you are doing what you love everyday, that's what heaven is...I think. I love and miss you so much, my heart still hurts without you here.

Love Always,
Christine

Hey Jon,
Another year has come and gone and we still pine for our son. We think of you each day and ask ourselves why you had to leave us. Times aren't very happy without you, but we try to manage. Marc has moved into a very large and beautiful apartment. We were invited over for dinner night before last. Lily has grown and can't get enough to eat- just like Sandy and Misty. She is a lot of comfort along with Hvid and Rane'. Scotty and family are doing well with Emily a star student already accepted to WVU in her Junior year. Sort of got flooded here last week by hurricane Isaac. Our house was an island with over a foot of water in the street. Have renewed our friendship with Richard & Judy from Louisiana. You would remember him from our stay in Houston. Richard & I were stationed together in SC. 49 years ago.
Jon we miss you so very much and wish you were here with us. We will love you forever and dream of the day when we will be with you again.
We love you,

Happy Birthday Shuffles! Things here are good. Kim and I went out to dinner last night for your birthday. We went to the Melting Pot, you wouldn't have liked it. I know you used to joke about boiling your own food!

We have a new baby, Scarlett. I know you would have been such a fun Uncle to our girls.

I think of you everyday and miss you very much. I can't believe you would have been 36, old man!

Love Always,
Christine

Hi Jon,
Happy Birthday! We celebrated it tonite with a Christmas/Birthday dinner with Marc & his friends. It was nice.
Work on the new spread continues. Sprinklered and Hydroseeded the new lawn. Planted a few trees and planned for the new orchard. Gee, I wish you were here to enjoy this with us. I know you would love what this home is turning into.

Jon,this is Mom. I miss you, sweetie, and wonder why you had to leave us. We think of you every day. Our new puppy, Lilly (named for Lilly Pulitzer, the dress designer), looks exactly like Misty and Sandy - a Sable. She's almost 8 months old, the 15th of January. She's a wonderful puppy, Jon, and we feel blessed that she's with us. Our two Norwegian Forest Cats, Hvid and Rane' abide her, but are not overly fond of her. She does play some with Rane', but Hvid ignores her completely. He thinks he's a little King, since he was a show cat in New Jersey. We contacted Lilly Pulitzer and they sent us a piece of fabric from her collection, which we had made into several neck scarfs for her.

We heard from Carol Kuprivich and learned that her younger daughter had a stroke postpartum. Hopefully, she's all right now. I understand from Kim that Ben was going to visit Kennett Square this Christmas. I hope he's doing well. Such a good boy.

Not much else going on. Scotty, Cindy, Pat and Emily are doing well. They miss you, too, Jon.

Oma has passed on. No one else left in Mother's family now.

I will let you go, Jon. Know that we love you and always will.

Mom, Dad and Marc iii.

PS: Marc, his girlfriend, Yvonne, and her two children (Billy, almost 11, and Alyssa, 15, came to dinner tonight). Alyssa said a prayer at dinner for you and asked that you watch over us.

Love Mom, Dad, Marc iii

Jon,
Been six years since that fateful day. Mom, Marc & I miss you and think of you each day and wish we could share you for just one more moment. Things in our lives remain the same as much as they can without you. Well,Jon, just wanted to let you know you are missed more than you will ever know and loved more than life itself and that we will love you as we always have and long for the day our family will be together again.

It's been awhile since my last entry. I guess a year has gone by. I can't believe how fast the time goes. It has been 6 long years without you but to me it was just yesterday.

Things are going well here. Kim is doing well. She does a lot of traveling which you know she loves! Sydney Paige is almost 2 years old! Hard to believe. You would love her quite a personality. I am just working and waiting for our new baby to come in November. Hope she comes before Thanksgiving.

Not a day goes by I don't think of you. You are missed more than you will ever know. But I know you live in a beautiful world and until we meet again someday I will keep writing. I love and miss you. I wish I could hug you one more time!

Dearest Jon Jon;
Been a long year. Drove to Nova Scotia last August at the threat of a Hurricane. The same hurricane chased us back out of NS 7 days later. Stopped along the way and saw Kim, John Cox, the Kupreviches and Mickey who is still flourishing @ 95. Kim looked so beautiful when we met for lunch. Appears to be getting along OK. Christmas is gone and now your Birthday. Hope it was a Happy one. We celebrated it with some of Mom's Josephinas and Scrimps in my special hot sauce--two of your favorites.
The Holidays were the same as all have been without you. Missing you. We did go to WV for Thanksgiving and shared dinner with your aunts & uncles. It was nice. Got real cold the day we left to come back. Been real cold here for the last three weeks. We are in the process of buying a house out in the country with a lot of land if the bank will see it our way. Know you would love the place. The house is only a 3/2 with oversize 2 car garage but the rooms are huge and open. We'll be able to have our dogs, again.
Zachary and Mom's birthdays are coming up soon. You should see how big and tall Zach has gotten. He misses you.
Mom gets prettier every day and I just get old. Marc is working long hours, as usual. Well, son, that's all the news that's fit to print.
We,ll love you forever as we always have and look for the day when our family will be together again.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Marc & Zach

Happy birthday!! I can't believe you would be 36 today, old man.

Sydney Paige is 15 months now. She would have loved you so much. What a great uncle you would have been.

Christmas was good, Santa was good to the kids as usual. It was nice having everyone together, of course there are always two missing.

We got some snow today and are expecting more next week. I'm sure Belle is loving it. Take care of Shamus and Karen as I know you are.

You are missed everyday.

Love Always,
Christine

Wow, I can't believe it has been 5 years without you!!

Things are going well here, our daughter is almost 1, she would have loved to have met her Uncle Shuffles. Kim is in Charleston for the Labor Day weekend, she is so happy there. We are having our annual bbq, it's at my house this year. Wish you were here, you could help Jeff with some of his projects around the new house!!

Although it has been 5 short years since your passing, it feels like yesterday to me. Now that you are reunited with your best bud, Shamus, I know you feel happiness. You are missed more than you will ever know. I hope you have found peace.

Love Always,
Christine

Hey Buddy, happy 35th!! I can't believe you would be 35, you are catching up!!

Things are going well. Sydney Paige is going to be christened on Sunday. So, we are busy planning the party. I wish you could be here for it. You always loved a good party.

I will write again soon. We miss you dearly everyday.

Love Always,
Christine

Hey Jon;
Just a lovenote to let you know we didn't forget your B'day. Daddy and I would have a lot of gifts for our baby Jon if you were here. Things have been lonely without you. We've been reading a lot, exercising a little and watching our health, but mostly missing you. We think of you many times every day and talk between us (Dad, Me and Marc)about the good times we had and how you made us laugh. Oh, they were such happy days. Well, Jon, I'll sign off for now but know you are loved and missed.
Love,
Mom, Dad & Marc

Hey buddy!! Sorry this is a little late for Christmas. It can be our Christmas/New Year message.

Christmas was nice this year, hard to believe it's another year without you. You would have loved the snowstorm we got a week before Christmas, 17 inches!!!

Kim is staying busy. She is going to Key West next year. We are also trying to plan a family trip to the Outerbanks.

Jeff and I are good. Sydney Paige is getting so big, I wish you could have met her. Kim just loves her to pieces.

We recently lost our dog, Lucy. She was such a good puppy, we miss her alot. Take good care of her, she loves to run!

I will write again soon. We think of you everyday, you are missed more than you know.

Love Always,

Christine Esposito-Huston

Hey Shuffles!! I can't believe it has been 4 years without you. It is so hard to believe.

Everyone is doing well here. Jeff and I will be having a baby in 2 1/2 weeks. I wish you were here to meet her, she needs an "Uncle Shuffles" none of the other kids will have one.

Kim keeps busy, she has been traveling. She just got back from Colorado, her and Ben went hiking, sorry Ben called it a summit.

We will be having our annual Labor Day BBQ in your honor tomorrow. You are missed dearly, more than you know.

Love Always,
Christine

Dearest Jon,

Your struggle is over and your wishes have been satisfied. The day started out with the heavens weeping but we set you free under cleared and sunny skies.
So now, dear Son, you have take your place amongst the dolphin You loved to watch race and frolic in the waters of their home.
Jon, Marc is doing fine and has a new girlfriend. Mom is continuing her stained glass, Dad is continuing his woodworking. Zachary always asks how we think You are. Boy, You captured his heart in just that one visit like You did to everyone You met. We hear from Kim, on occasion. She appears to be doing good. She is so strong-really misses you.
Well, I'll close for now. Just remember dear Son, as we always have, we'll love You today and forever and wait for the time we'll have our family back together.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Marc & Zachary

Happy Birthday, buddy!! It's hard to believe you are 34 today, you are catching up to me!!

You are in our thoughts and hearts everyday but we especially miss you on days like today.

I hope you had a big party up there for yourself, you deserve it!

Love Always,
Christine

Merry Christmas, Shuffles! Christmas is so weird without you, I know how excited you used to get to give out gifts. We miss you everyday not only on Christmas.

Kim got the dogs gifts like you guys used to always give them!

Merry Christmas! I will write again soon.

Love,
Christine

Hey buddy! Another year has past without you. It is so hard to believe it has been 3 years. It's weird not to hear your voice or talk to you about school. You would have been such a great nurse.

Kim and I went out to dinner on the 5th. You know how much she likes the Melting Pot. We keep it light hearted and tell alot of stories to remember you by.

2 semesters to go for me!! I keep very busy with school and Kim is busy with her friends, I think she is planning to go visit Maryshannon in New York soon. That will be good for her.

Well, I have to run. I hope to see you in my dreams again soon, I like when you visit.

Love Always,
Christine

Our Dearest Jon-Jon;
Just a little note to remind you that we love you and miss you and your wonderful smile. No day goes by that we don't think of you and the pride and joy you give us and the caring and kindness you show to everyone you come in contact with.
We have been keeping busy. Zachary is in 2nd grade and really growing. He asks for you often. Marc has been working harder than ever. Mom was elected a Democrat Committeewoman and has been doing some volunteer work for the presidential election. Dad has taken up woodworking and has been making bowls and vases. It seems to pass the time and keeps us from being overwhelmed by your absence. Well Jon, We'll sign off for now and talk to you this evening. Remember, we love you now and forever as we always have.
Love,
Mom & Dad

Hey buddy!! I was thinking about you today and thought I would write.

The weather has been so nice here, it reminds me of summer already! Everyone is doing okay here. Kim is staying very busy as usual, she just got back from California. She went to visit MaryShannon, it is so good when those two get to hangout. She had a great time and is already talking about going back.

Shamus and Belle are good. Shamus is getting up there you know but there are days he acts like such a puppy! Belle is how she always was, still jumping the fence and getting scared of every little noise.

I'll write again soon. I hope you are taking care of Karen, I know you are!!

We miss you more than you know!

Love,
Christine

Shuffles,

Sorry this too is a little late. Things are still crazy around here.

Happy birthday!! Kim said she wished you a happy birthday on Monday.

Be sure you are taking care of Karen up there, she's a newby!

Not one day goes by we don't think of you. Your smile and jokes are dearly missed.

Love,
Christine

Jon,
It's your birthday and again you're not here to share it with us. We miss your calls to "Mama Bear" and "Papa Bear".
Christmas was again lonely, however we tried to make it nice for Zachary.
We think of you when we get up in the morning and when we go to bed at night. We often wake up in the middle of the night, sad and missing you.
Hvid, our beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat, is doing well and tries to comfort us when we get emotional. We know you sent him to us for just that reason.
Jon, our greatest hope and prayer is that we will be with you again.
And so dear son, we'll love you today and forever and wait for the time we'll have our family back together.
Happy Birthday, Son.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Marc, Hvid and Rane' (Hvid's Grandaughter)

Hey buddy! So sorry I didn't write to you yesterday we have a lot going on. I'm sure you know.

We had a nice Christmas, Kim is doing okay. She has really been there for Tony.

I know you and Karen are having a good time up there, make sure you show her the ropes. We were thinking you two are probably fishing, putting puzzles together, and enjoying a cocktail or two!!!

I love you and miss you everyday!

Love,
Christine

Hey Shuffles! We miss you so much, Kim says this year is harder than last. I guess because our lives are going on and you are still not here with us to share all the new things happening.

Kim is okay, she stays very busy. She has several trips planned with her friends in the Fall and Spring of next year.

I got into Dental Hygiene School, I start Wednesday. Thanks for the pull! Please help me through my semester as you have in the past. You would have made a fantastic nurse!

I can't believe it has been two years already. It seems like last week when Jeff and I were in Charleston visiting you and Kim. You were so excited to take us out on the boat. I was secretly glad the weather wasn't good, you know I'm not crazy about water!

We are having a bbq at my parents house today in memory of you. Kim just wanted family, she wasn't up for a crowd. But we will all be there, hopefully laughing and sharing stories!

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. You are missed more than you know!

I love you and miss you everyday!
Christine

Jon, we'll never know the reason why your leaving was so sudden; Whatever it was, Jon, you kept it hidden from everyone.

The sunshine your smiles brought us allowed you to hide the suffering and anguish you held inside.

You must not have known the effect you had on others, nor the love and admiration they had for you; for, if you had, you never would have left us so alone and blue.

We relive our days together and the loving memories we shared; school, camp, sports, piano and vacations, too; fishing, cooking,
eating; wonderful memories we hold for you.

Our little Jon Jon has left us; for what reason we'll never know. We're grateful for the thirty wonderful years we were allowed to watch you grow.

We think of you every waking hour and dream of you at nighttime, too. But life somehow eludes us now, as it did that night for you.

And so, Dear Son, as we always have, we'll love you today and forever, and wait for the time we'll have our family back together.

Mom, Dad and Marc

Jon,

It is such a clear day out I was thinking of you. Seemed to me like a hot day in Charleston! A day I know you would have had the dogs on the beach running and playing ball.

Things are okay here. Kim is doing well, she has a beach house again this summer. It's good for her to go hangout and relax with her friends.

I'm busy with a summer class, which keeps me out of trouble.

We miss you so much. I think of you often!

Love,
Christine

Our Dearest Jon;
We didn't forget your birthday. We would have lots of presents for you if you were here. Thirty two years ago today, you were given to us; all 8 pounds 15 ounces of you - with your big beautiful smile that never faded. You are in our hearts and we think of you day and night, always with love.
Love,

Happy birthday, Jon!! It is so hard to believe another year has passed without you here.

The holidays were okay for Kim, she just misses you so much.

She bought a house, so her,Bell and Shamus will be moving the beginning of February. It's about 5 minutes from me so that's really good. The dogs can play alot with Lucy and I can see Kim more often!

Happy birthday again buddy. You are missed so very much.

Love,
Christine

Hey buddy! The wedding was great, it was a little cold, very windy. But it made it funny! Jon Cox did the photopraphy, he did such a good job. You would have loved hanging out with everyone. Kim and I were thinking about you that day, telling stories of your wedding day and laughing about the electricity going out at the country club.

The holidays are coming and I know it will be a little harder this year without you. We're hoping to do something special for Kim's 30th in December because I know you would have made such a big deal about it.

I think of you often and miss you very much
Love,
Christine

Hey Jon,



I was thinking of you alot today. My wedding day is coming closer and I'm realizing you will not be there. I know how much you liked Jeff and I'm so glad you got to hang out with him when we came to Charleston last spring. I know you will be with me that day, I am carrying your ring in my bouquet.



We are having a bbq on Labor Day as a celebration of your life. All your friends are coming and Kim's too. We will all be there to honor you and I will make sure everyone has a sicilian kiss from you!!!



I love you, you are missed more than you know.



Love,

Christine

Hi Jon,



I just found this guestbook today, Christine was talking about it and I asked her how to get into it.



I hope you know how much we loved you, as though you were one of our sons. We miss you very much. Kim misses you most of all. She keeps herself busy so she doesn't have time to think. She rented a house at the beach with a bunch of girls, I think that's been good for her. She needs this right now. I hope some day she will be able to make a new life for herself. I know it will take a long time.



Christine is getting married in October. That will be a hard day for Kim, for all of us. We will be remembering your wedding day and how beautiful it was. But that will be Christine's day, and we will have to be happy for her and Jeff. Christine is going to have your ring put into her flowers that day, that way you will be there with us.



Karen and Tony are expecting a baby in August. So we will have another grandchild. That will be so nice and I hope another diversion for Kim.



Kim keeps in touch with your parents. I know she loves them very much. They have been so good to her. I know she wants to continue the relationship with them.



I hope you have found the peace you were searching for. I know you are in a far better place. We will always miss you and your smile, it was contagious.



I love you, Gail (Your mother-in-law)

I will always remember John's smiling face and goofy jokes. I can not believe that he is gone. He was such a wonderful, caring person and always thought about other people before thinking of himself. I enjoyed my short visits with him when visiting my dad in SC. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Happy B'day Son! Marc took me out to Las Vegas to the Consumer Electronics Show for your birthday. Never have been impressed by much, but that place, Wow! Gambled a little, lost a lot, drank more, ate good-- one time at a Japanese restaurant in the Bellagio hotel overlooking the outdoor dancing fountains show-- remember the closing scenes of Oceans Eleven? Met Marc's largest supplier. We have a right to be very proud of Marc as we had of you, Jon, as he is very well respected. I had a nice call from Ben on the Wednesday before I left. If you were here, we would have a lot of gifts for your birthday. I remember at Christmas time you always had a way of reminding us of your upcoming B'day without telling us directly. You even did it as you got older. Your Mother & I used to get a kick out of it behind your back. Oh how very much we miss you, Jon. Uncle Art was in town New Years week and we managed to see him a good bit. He's doing a lot of painting and having shows and selling his paintings for quite a lot. Who knew! (Art's Art). Anyway he gave us a painting of a beautiful orchid he calls Jon's orchid. You see, he's had this orchid for a number of years and it never bloomed- at least not until this past September. We have it on your table. Well, son, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday but now look what I've gone and done. I hope you are O.K. I pray for you every day. I love you. Dad

Happy birthday, buddy!! We went out to dinner last night for your birthday. Of course Kim ordered the pasta...don't worry I had some creme brulee' for you. I know you were with us in spirit, but your jokes and stories were definitely missed. We love you and miss you everyday!



Love always,

Christine (your favorite sister-in-law)

Dear Shuffles,Kim,the Blocks, and the Espositos..my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I just recently heard of this sorrowful tragedy. I will never forget the fun-filled days in the "little yellow house" at UD with Ben and the other "Jons" and most of all, Jon, your beautiful and friendly smile!! I hope you are at peace now.....Sincerest regards to all.....Jen Johnson

Dear Jon

New Year has come and gone without you and and your perennial New Years Eve/Day call. Remember, the day you left us, we discussed your Mom and I wanting to take You, Kim, Marc and His guest on a

cruise this week? Those two phone calls that day were so special and wonderful it just makes your leaving so impossible to understand and accept. You know how Mommy and I love you boys--more than life itself--. I don't know what Mommy and I are going to do. We may try to find a little land or a small farm out of state and move away. We have discussed it a little but that's as far as we have gone. We would have to put the house up for sale first. As you know, we have never liked it here. We'd like to get some dogs again and I'd like to have a little garden and your mother would like to have a flower and miniature rose garden. Remember the one she had in Charleston? Well, Jon, I'm all emotional now and about to start rambling so I'll close. I love you and I'll always love you like I always have. I hope you are in peace. Dad

Jon, its the first day of January, and it's going to be a long, long year without you. We miss you more each day. We miss your smile, your telephone calls to us, and miss visiting you and Kim in Mt. Pleasant. I visualize where you lived and the beautiful neightborhood that we passed through to get to your house.



I forgot to tell you that we have a new cat -- his name is Hvid (a champion, no less!) He was born in Denmark, and a very nice breeder in New Jersey (near where Jackie Booth lives in Hamilton Square, NJ) sold him to us since she no longer was using him as a stud. He was 2 years old in August and is solid white like Prissy was. He isn't declawed and the breeder made us promise not to declaw him. (I just found out this past week that the reason cats bite is when they have been declawed.) At any rate, he's very sweet and loving. Jon, he chirps like a bird! He doesn't meow like cats do. It comes from being raised in Denmark where they have six months of snow. The cats live in trees and during the winter, they stay on a branch and chirp to entice birds their way. They then fly to catch the bird to eat and land on another branch. Isn't that neat? At any rate, I knew you would be happy to know that we have another cat.



Jon, Kim still hasn't sold the house, your Jeep or the boat. We're hoping that everything sells soon so that she can make plans for where she wants to live. Right now, she is going to move back to Delaware to live with her parents for a while. She got a job at the DuPoint Children's Hospital and starts January 9. She works through January 5 at her hospital in South Carolina. She calls us almost every day, Jon. We're so glad about that. We couldn't have made it this far without her to talk to.



Jon, I just got back from Brandon's furniture store (I work at their corporate office). Today, they were giving away free oil prints (not framed). I went to the Lake Worth store and got one, and I just got back from the Okeechobee Blvd. store where I asked for two -- one for Marc. You know I would have loved to be able to give one to you and Kim, don't you.



We miss you so much Jon, and know that we love you always.

Jon, we love you and miss you. You're always in our thoughts. You were such a special boy and you were loved so much. We know you're near, and that's the only way we're able to go on. Please listen when we talk to you, and we'll listen for your answers. We love you always.

My Dearest Little Jon Boy, You're only gone a little while yet it seems like an eternity. I love you with all my heart and I miss our daily talks terribly. I hope you are at peace. We keep your pictures close at all times and pray for you. Mommy and I won't be celebrating Christmas much this year except for Zack & Kim. We know how much you loved this time of year and leading up to your birthday. Please take care and we'll keep you in our dreams until the family is together again.

Kim, the Espositos and and the Blocks: I pray that someday you will feel some peace in the wake of this heartache and tragedy. Shuffles touched the hearts of everyone that he met and I am no exception.



Christine: I am here for you to do whatever it takes to ease this pain. Kim is so lucky to have a sister like you, and I am so lucky to have you as my friend. I love you.

Jon was more than my brother-in-law, he was another brother to me. I know his memory will live on through the stories we share with each other. He will be missed but never forgotten. I thank him for being the incredible person he was to all of us.



To my sister,

I feel your pain as if it were my own. Please know there are so many people who are here for you. I love you!!

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Block family. Jon always wore a smile and will be remembered fondly. May kindness and special memories forever enrich your family. Your friend, Kasey

Jon, It has been so hard to tell you over the years how much I loved You. You are my best friend and even though you were my younger brother.. I always looked up to You. I will see you again..



We will always be brothers and bulldogs together..



You keep working hard and we will work together again.



I Love you



Your big brother

Jonathan Block was a wonderful friend and classmate who will never be forgotten. I really got to know him through clinical. I never saw him without a smile on his face. He always seemed to brighten my day. His smile, friendship,and caring heart will never be forgotten.

Joonathan Block was a wonderful classmate. I met you only for 7 weeks, you made it seem as though we were childhood friends forever. You had such words of encouragement,that will last a lifetime. I know you were a great person, one whom always smiled, and had a warm joke to start clinical mornings off right!!!! Your parents did such a wonderful job in raising you, I hope to do the same for my children. You will be sadly missed by our fellow classmates and of course myself. May you now have peace my friend.

Jonathan was a blessing to know and a joy to work with. He was also one of the best people I have ever known and always will be. He will be missed by many and forgotten by none.
