Words can hardly capture the depth of loss that the Franklin/Hagan family is experiencing right now.
Jon was truly a remarkable person who brought light into the lives of everyone he met. I feel so grateful to have shared countless weekends with him and Sean during my childhood and teenage years, filled with all-nighters with video games, fueled by Mountain Dew and whatever snacks we could find. Smothering Totino's pizza in Ranch and there was never gonna be a bag of chips that lasted long.
He was one of the finest men I've ever known, and I grew to love him as if he were family. Billie, I can't begin to imagine the pain you're going through. I wish I could offer you comfort in some tangible way, but for now, all I can do is type these words, and I hope to see you next week.
As we approach the anniversary of my father's passing, I understand the mix of emotions that can arise — the unanswerable questions, the anger, the sorrow. It's okay to feel sadness when you think of him. But in time, I hope you can find solace in the little signs that remind you of him: songs, birds, butterflies, and those warm shoulder squeezes that feel like a hug from him.
Please know that if you or Jonny need anything at all, I'm here for you. Don't hesitate to reach out, no matter what you need or when you need it.
I’m also holding Bobbie, John, Sean, Jacki, Keaira, and Aria close in my thoughts. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Sending all my love and compassion to you during this incredibly difficult time.
