Jason's 30th Birthday is Wednesday. No matter how long it's been
that pain is still there. Can't hide from it or ignore it. The soul knows
and it reacts.
Happy 30th Jason where ever you are.

Dear Ilene, Mark, and Josh,
It has been ages since I have written to you on here. I hope this finds you well. I don't have your email address anymore, and if I did I don't know if you use that one anymore. I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I think of you often, as Jason held and will always hold a very special place in my heart. I loved him very much! It would be wonderful to hear what you are all doing these days. Happy New Year! If you still check this website, feel free to send me an email!

I feel just as you do. I lost my son Jason at age 19 on May 30, 2000. I can't believe it is 8 years. Been crying for 2 days. Going to cemetary now. We are never the same. Others do not understand our pain. I am alone. I am lost.
I need my Jason back....not one person called me today to see if i was ok...you really learn who your friends are...
His birthday was May 9th..he would be 27 now, My Sweet Son...(OUR CHILDREN FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS)))))You are all in my heart and my prayers..we have a bond...I think our children bring us together...One day at a time... Sincerely, Karen...it is still unbelievable...

Even though i am a bit late, Id like you to know that I have not forgotten Jason. He will always be remembered by me and those that were lucky enough to have been around him. If I could give back the last 7 years that passed just for 1 chance to put on my shoes and run across the street knowing that JASON would answer the door with a big warm smile on his face, I would do it in a hearbeat. The memories I share to this day with Jason will never be forgotten.

Holding you close in prayer on the eve of the anniversary of Jason's departure to Heaven. We know our pain never really goes away and resurfaces with renewed strength tearing us apart with those same memories that hold us together. Receive warm, knowing hugs from one who knows you pain.

What a beautiful tribute to your precious son. We lost our oldest ADAR Z'L on april 25 2000, the 7th night of passover to liver cancer. Now, his brother who was 15 months at the time is battling hepatoblastoma, liver cancer. I still had faith in Hashem but find myself so lost now. i thought your web site is a beautiful memorial for your son. We established a astronomy library at Adar's dayschool and 6 years later he still influences others. May masiach come speedily in our days for all the precious children toshine their light again on this olam hasheker.

Dear Ilene, Mark, Josh, and of course Jason wherever you are! It has been so long since I have spoken to all of you. A few weeks before I was looking through my old Bat Mitzvah picture and found one of Jason and I that I have always treasured. We were playing the Pesi Seven up game and Jason was my partner. I was sitting on his lap and I was thinking "Oh my God!" and he was just cracking up saying " It's okay, honey, you're mine!" I started laughing to myself thinking back to what fun times in the past we had. Then, I was listening to the radio the other day and heard the song "Hero" and everytime I hear that song I think of Jason and what a wonderful friend he was to me! I felt I had to write to you! Since it is Passover, I wanted to wish you a Happy Passover. I hope this finds you well. It's been so long and I just wanted to let you all know that I have not forgotten you! Take care and hopefully we can speak soon.
Love,
Farra Rubin

It was fun working with Jason in Tennis for several years. To see him gain new skills was enjoyable. When Jason was young, think one of his favorite parts of tennis was when one of the wheelchair players would take him for a spin around the courts in his chair. By the time Jason reached the height of the college students, he was able to keep the ball on the courts and challenge some of the women from my class. Jason and Josh were our first to participate in the regional tennis event. YOU blazed the way and now others are having that opportunity. YOUR legacy lives on as others who learned to play tennis at Biola now compete.--Thanks

I came across your web site after I ran a search on my name's sake and I feel I should pay my respects to such a sound lad after reading his story. He's certainly made an impression on a lot of people and I'd like to think he has inspired me in a way now. May his memory live forever.

I am so sorry I did not get by here on your "anniversary" date. I really wish there was another word to use to mark these milestones. Yes, it is a "one year" but the word "anniversary" sounds like a celebration and the way you miss your Jason I know it is anything BUT a celebration. I am glad that he is no longer suffering but that's little consolation for a family's empty arms. I also know the holidays must have been difficult without him. Please know that I have not forgotten you. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers continually as I lift you up to the Lord for strength. Blessings to you in 2004.

I am sorry that I never met Jason. However, Jason's mother Ilene's life intersected with the lives of my inlaws and their family several time. They have been able to help Ilene several times before. Now Perhaps it's my turn.
My wife Shosana, was killed in a terrorist bombing, 15 months after our marriage.
Four weeks after Shoshana's funeral, I went to Israel for her unveiling. While I was packing for the trip, I searched through our bedroom several times for an important document, but I could not find it.
As I was about to give up, I looked up and saw a beautiful green box perched alone on a small shelf.
I took it down from the shelf and looked at the box. There were beautiful white flowers on the top of the box along with part of a verse from Psalms:
Even maoso habonim hysa l'rosh pina. The rock that the builders despised will be the foundation.
Inside that box were all the difficulties that Shoshana had encountered in life and how she overcame them.
On the top of all the papers was the one that I was looking for…
Our Kesubah… Our marriage contract…
Shoshana never put anything in the box after we got married.
From time to time, Shoshana told me what she put in the box and read me the poems and essays inside of it that were most special to her.
I knew the box was there and that it was beautiful. It sat several feet in front of my bed. And yet I never saw it
And so it is with God… We live a lifetime and never see God… Although he is quite close at hand… Until the very end… When we see the beauty of God is more beautiful than anything we could imagine.
May we merit to see God's beauty in our lifetime.
With her wedding contract in her box of beauty, Shoshana had overcome all the obstacles in her life and was completely at peace and in a constant state of happiness.
I asked her best friend Esther why she picked that verse. Esther said Shoshana explained it like this:
When people have rocks blocking their way -- difficulties in life -- they try to remove the rocks.
But not Shoshana - she believed that the rocks were a special gift of kindness; They were a special present from God. The rocks were not obstacles to overcome. They were the foundation to improve ourselves. They were the foundation to improve the entire Jewish people.
And that is the secret of how Shoshana could make herself into such a caring and Godly person.
And that is how she inspired hundreds of little girls, their parents, and all those she met in the brief 31 years of her life.
I conclude with the words I said at Shoshana's graveside:
"We stand now in front of a rock with Shoshana's name on it. May we be blessed to see the world like Shoshana wants us to see it."
"The rock is not an obstacle…. It is an opportunity to build ourselves. The rock is an opportunity to build the Jewish people."
Ilene,
I hope this story gave comfort to you and your family. May you and your family merit to take the pain and turn it into something which is used to improve yourselves and the Jewish people.
In memory of my wife Shoshana, I send out daily e-mails with stories of kindness through my website. The stories bring happiness and hope, which we all could use more of. I hope they are a comfort to you.
My website is:
http://www.traditionofkindness.org/
May the Almighty comfort us with the mournors of Zion and Jerusalem.
Wishing you blessings for all good things,

Hi I am sorry I did not know Jason, but his Aunt Sharon is one of my favorite people. Sharon and I went to San Pedro High School together, and although the years have seperated us, we still manage to keep in touch. Mark I did not know you very weel, but I had an Aunt with a disability. She had Downs Syndrom, and I had an Aunt who died of breast cancer. You are right, these are the heros. Thankyou for keeping us up on the info about these people who are trying to exploite others with stories about getting donations from the internet companies. I will no longer pass these on. God Bless you and your family, and give your parents and your sister my love.
Sincerely

I didn't know Jason, but I am the parent with a child with Ph+ ALL (leukemia), who, fortunately, is doing great! I've read Jason's "carepage" and see how much he was loved, admired and cherished ... he brought SO MANY people joy ... and it's truly a shame that he passed so young. But he's not suffering anymore and is in a much better place ...

Ilene--what a moving tribute to your beautiful son. I know you miss him every hour of every day. I loved how you had a variety of people write about him...really made me see him as a person, not just as Ilene's son.

I wish so much that I had some magical words to help ease your pain, but I dont. Nobody does...but I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you had a peaceful day filled with wonderful memories of Jasons life. Praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to help you smile again.

You don't know me, but I saw your son's name on the Heavenly Lights Newsletter. After looking at the wonderful pictures of your family, I had to write to let you know that I will be thinking about you as your son's birthday nears. He truly had such a good attitude toward life. My own son, Steve, also lost his battle to AML leukemia on April 27th of this year. It is so hard to lose a child. Please know that others are thinking of you.

Dear Jasons Mom and Family, A friend linked me to the Cancer page (I am not computer literate yet!) and I was reading some of the posts and came across Jasons page. Our precious daughter Nikki, a healthy, athletic 14 year old was diagnosed July 2, 2001 with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. The cancer never went into remission and she died on New Years day 2002. She was buried on Jan 5th, the day she was to go on her Make a Wish trip. Nikki loved competative swimming most of all, and on the way to zone championships, they would play "Hero" by Mariah Cary. It was her song of inspiration. Nikki was blessed with strenght, and a brillient mind and loved people with special needs. She accompanied me a pediatric nurse, to many home visits with kids. It was such a shock (as it always is to any parent) to find out she had cancer. Her struggle was only for 6 months but it was intense. Nikki never gave up. Nikkis cousin, Elissa, had her Bot Mitzpha (sp!) and is planning on helping children with cancer at childrens hospital of Phil. We are all in this fight together! We are going to St. Louis tomarrow where the National childrens cancer society will be presenting a childhood cancer awareness bear that Nikki helped to creat. It will be available at Build a Bear stores in January 2003. I will be thinking of your special angel. They are never far from us now. Peace to all of you. Nikkismom

Being one of Jason's physicians for the past 3 years, I could always hear him coming down the hallway and trying to have fun with our staff. He was one of the few patients I have enjoyed seeing at my clinic. It always seems to be like an adventure with him. He would come in speaking of his new challenges and accomplishments. He was a feisty guy full of life and energy. His family too should also be acknowledge for their love, caring, and courage through these trying times. Bless you all...He will be missed.

On December 28, 1999, my 20 year old son, Aaron, died of a rare form of thyroid cancer. Aaron talked with other such kids via the "Young Adults" list and I'm sure had conversed with Jason. I still receive these emails which is how I heard about Jason. My sincere, heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, and I will remember you and Jason in my prayers.
Aaron, in his last days, wrote several poems. I am including one of my favorites, in hope that it gives you some peace.
Death Again
I do not want to die,
and you've heard that before.
Who of us does want to die?
Will it hurt?
Is there a light?
Is Heaven truly at the end?
These questions plague me,
and many other a soul.
For we won't really know,
until we take the journey ourselves.
Sometimes I am calm,
Sometimes I am frightened,
Sometimes I am ready to die,
While in great pain am I.
Sometimes I want to hold on,
Just to see how far I can go.
But I know I can't
Won't,
And don't want to do that,
For I am in too much pain.
Mental,
Physical,
It is all the same.
I've said some goodbyes,
Whether the person knew it or not.
I never thought I would have to do that.
But those conversations were,
Without a doubt,
The hardest words I have ever spoken.
But there are some goodbyes,
That will never spring from these lips.
"So Long,"
"Farwell,"
or "See you real soon."
But a goodbye to these people?
No.
Not doing.
I will see them again,
and I CANNOT WAIT!

Here is a song in memory of Jason. May it help to comfort Jason's family in this time of sorrow. May God bless this dear family.
Performed by Celine Dion. Words and Music by Jean-Jaques Goldman and Phil Galdston
"FLY"
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining.
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And Fly again.
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gently happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet.
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be one your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget.
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light.

My prayers are with all of you, for strength, continued hope, and faith.

To Ilene and family. I already e-mailed you privately but I wanted to post something on the site as well. Jason was a blessing for me to teach. Over the years after I left Ramah we became friends and e-mailed eachother. I will always remember him signing "give me an apple" to me the first day I met him at Ramah. Thank you for bringing this blessing into the world. I will always remember him with a smile. I already miss him very much.

All words escape me ........ I have told so many about your precious Jason and I will continue to tell them about your brave angel. You have all been through so much in the last couple of months .....I know it doesn't make it any easier right now but Jason is now free of the pain and suffering he went through down here on earth. I hope someday you will be ab;le to see that. Please make sure you give yourself plenty of memory time to remember all of the spunky Jason stories that you have told me about.Be proud of your son and the strides he made to try and beat evry obstacle that came within his path. Make sure that you all talk and deal with this as a family unit. That is the only true way to deal with a tragedy of this magnitude. Please let us know if you need anything even if it is an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Thinking of you all every minute .....

Jason gave all of us a view into his beautiful soul. One cannot say "Jason" without saying "Josh, Ilene and Mark", because they were what surrounded and nurtured him. He was blessed with a family that loved him without limits and he returned that love in full measure.
We also think of "heroes", when we remember Jason. First among that noble group are his mom and dad. They left no stone unturned nor any path unexplored, in trying to give their beloved son the most bountiful life possible. His brother, Josh, did what brothers are supposed to do -- tease, protect, nudge and love. Each of those he did to perfection.
Those of us who could share a glimpse of this truly amazing family, learned so much about the strength of all-encompassing devotion and love. We hope that we can return some of that love to them, now, when they need so much of it. We want them to know that our combined arms are there to embrace them, our giving souls are there to comfort them and our deepest prayers are there to reach out to God's newest angel, Jason.

Hi Jason! This hello comes from Haliburton, Ontario Canada. I'm enjoying the colourful and informative web page you have put together. I must learn how to do one of these. Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady with lots of wisdom. Moms need lots of that - I know 'cause I'm one to three sons ages 9,11(tomorrow) and 13. David who is my #2 son has ALL - PreB and was diagnosed Feb. 23,1998. He's doing really well and sounds like your brother Josh, as he wants to keep going and going (like you know who). Have a great summer! Starting off at Camp Ronald McDonald sounds like a terrific way to begin. Take care. My prayers are for YOU and your family.

Dear Jason,
My daughter Kristin is 19 & has Leukemia and was on a Dance team too. We have watched your progress through a list your mom is a member of on the net. You have done so well with treatment and keeping active through Hi Topps. Keep up the good work! You have a wonderful mom who loves you immensely. Before you know it those lemons WILL be Lemonade.
