I too lost someone. My husband in March and the cost this stupid little paper charged me to post an obituary is beyond ridiculous. My prayers for you and your wife, and your family. Prayers that God and his Angel’s will wrap their wings around you and bring you comfort and peace beyond comprehension. Amen

Sorry for your loss and the times deltas need to make the situation worse. Cancelled the times delta as their sole purpose to create news based on no facts as opposed to reporting the news. So sad that the local paper feels the need to do that. Thanks for sharing the true story.

Well I know the Kennedy family. I met Jason and Ellen’s children years ago. However, I did not have a relationship with their children but I do know they are a your family. I know that Jason and Ellen were always at their sport functions. They worked their schedules to make sure they never missed a moment in their children’s lives. I can say I’m a Mom my children that are now grown they are my life and they always came first but if I ever in my life seen a family this was it they were the perfect family. Nothing mattered Jason and Ellen live for their children. I wish I was that perfect family. I’m sure they had their moments like all families do but this is the only family that I Know that could be that perfect Leave it to Beaver family that was once a television show. I can’t think of any kinder words to say. Jason and Ellen if you know them you gotta love them they are the most patient, understanding caring people I know.
Moving on if you watch CNN news well you know what they say about them fake news. I work with Jason so we are always on the VTD with news many of times and when I say many I mean many VTD will print out an article with 1/4 of the correct incident and the rest leaving you with WTF pardon me, or like this didn’t happen I was there, where do they get this from or no one said that. There’s been many of times we’ve been upset by their fake news or what may be their little touch of spice to keep their readers interested. I myself when I read the article I was like why I can’t believe it if something was wrong and she couldn’t talk to her parents she would’ve talked to her best friend they hold all the secrets. No one kills themselves and not leave clues that something is wrong. So if you read VTD news be careful what you read and don’t believe it a hundred percent unless you actually have evidence of it. God Bless you Jason and family your baby is now your angel watching over you.

This is so sad. I do not know you and I did not know your daughter. I am so sorry that you and your family have not been allowed to grieve the loss of your baby Dana due to the erroneous assumptions of the reporters representing the Times Delta. This is not the first time they have reported their assumptions and it continues. Due to the way it was reported. I felt so bad for your family to have to live thinking she committed suicide. I appreciate so much that you have chosen to report the truth of this horrible loss. My heart breaks for you but I know now that you can know that this wasn’t as was reported in the VTD. Just rest in the knowledge that Dana was Special and she would want to watch you move on and remember all the beautiful memories you must have of her. God Bless You and your family.
