You ARE family to us and we as a family cry with you and want to hold you close as you grieve. Sending all the love and healing we have.- Sarahbeth Purcell
Al and Dawn,
We love you so much and are sending prayers for strength and peace in this painful time. Juri was so blessed to have your love. We are always here for you,
Love,
Marc and Katie Cook Pisapia and the entire Cook Family
i am so happy to have known him and proud of juri, and you both, for what you did together in 14 short years
but i am so sad. i miss him being here, being juri.
always here for you, it aint the same or even close, but i am here as are so many wonderful friends and family you have there in nashville and all over the world.
his service was fitting of a person who inspired so many people, people are so touched to have known this fine young and gentle boy/man
i have never been thru anything quite like this, there was no road map for you or anyone else, yet dawn and al, you have been incredible and i dont know how, but you have kept it together, in such a way that juri would be so proud.
speechless but rambling, nonetheless, i love you and the rest of the clan.
Al And Dawn.
I was just searching for you on Facebook and I found this article. I was going to tell you that Me, Spencer and Harmony are going to be in town for Spring Break and that Spencer wanted to see Juri while we were there.
I don’t know how to express my sympathy for you both. I don’t understand why there is so much pain in this world. Juri was such a beautiful child. Being around him you could see the love and kindness that he carried with him always and that was a reflection of you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and embedded in our hearts forever. Penny, Spencer and Harmony.
