Jonathan has fulfilled his purpose in this life.

Now...Jonathan's Dream
A week before Jonathan departed from us he told his mom about a dream he had. He dreamt he was on a yellow school bus flying through the sky. The bus had no wings yet it was flying through the sky on it's way to heaven. The bus was called the Fun Bus to Heaven. As the bus flew through the sky, it passed over some of his friends houses and he could see them standing on the ground. He pounded on the window yelling at them to get on the bus but they could not because they did not know the LORD. He could feel the happiness of Heaven was a thousand times better than anything that he could experience here and wanted his friends to be on the bus with him. He had tears in his eyes as he told his mom this dream. Jonathan knew he was going to heaven and Jesus was his way there. He desperately wanted his friends to be on the bus with him. He knew his purpose in life was to be a witness to his friends.
Jonathan told his mother much more about his dream than what is written here. Maybe one day she can share it with you.
Jonathan continues to witness to us all not only through his spirit and legacy, but also physically through the gifts that he has left for five special people to continue their journey in this life.
We all miss you Jonathan but we know you are with us. Peaceful journey Lil' Dude!! We know you are having fun!!!
Love always,
Uncle Ahmed
