A message from Jon's parents
Dear all,
As you are probably aware Jon has been suffering from leukaemia for over three years which returned even after he received a bone marrow transplant. He was undergoing chemotherapy which we hoped would give him time to travel and fulfil some of his dreams. Unfortunately he contracted a series of viral infections which, in his weakened state, have proved fatal.
Jon died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday 7th February 2002 at 10:15am at University College Hospital London (UCL). His Mother and I were with him and we are very proud of his acheivements in his all-to-brief life.
His funeral will be held on Thursday 14th February (Valentine's day) at 14:00 at Grantham Crematorium.
In accordance with Jon's wishes it will be a non-religious 'humanist' ceremony and we invite all of you to submit a message which will be read out. Alternatively you are welcome to join us and more details of the arrangements will be provided if requested.
Please do not send flowers. If you wish to make a donation then Jon's wish was that you donate blood or volunteer to donate Bone Marrow to aid other Leukaemia sufferers. Alternatively there will be a collection in aid of the Leukaemia Research Fund and the University College Hospital London Haematology Ward.
I will try to keep this e-mail address going but it would be better if you respond to peterkay@ntlworld.com
My wife and I thank you for your friendship with our son.
Peter & Brenda Kay |
