JOY MIRABUENO FRUEHAUF, AUGUST 20, 2007 Years ago I kept hearing, "Jon Pace is coming back to Shelton!" Everyone was extremely excited and thrilled. I couldn't imagine a person who could generate such loyalty, devotion, and true affection. Then I finally had Jon in my class, and it all made sense. Though far too short, Jon's life was well lived, and we have all lost someone dear to our hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and the larger community who also loved Jon. CHRIS CLORE, AUGUST 19, 2007 May you find peace in your memories. We will miss him dearly. You are in our prayers and thoughts. All our love.

He was so nice, and was never forceful about it. He just said that I should try it out. When I did, the

3 theatre group became my 2nd family. Jon will forever be a part of that family! Jon will always be in my prayers, and he will be by my side through every preformance I do. He was my inspiration and my role model. I love you, Jon! Stephanie LaValle (Senior at Shelton) STEPHANIE CLAIRE LAVALLE, AUGUST 19, 2007 What an inspiration and hero Jon is to every teacher lucky enough to have taught him and to every person he knew...he touched their heart with his kind and sweet nature.jon always gave 110%-even when fighting the horrible disease of cancer. No words are sufficient to help in the loss of your wonderful son and brother.he will be missed by everyone who knew him. With deepest sympathy, LuAnn Dolly LUANN DOLLY, AUGUST 19, 2007 My deepest sympathies are with your family. Jon has been a presence in my life from the time I first taught him in 5th grade to our last goodbye as he was headed to college with enthusiastic plans for Savannah. There are so many memories of a life well lived. He has struggled off and on with such an amazing spirit that I don't think I ever really thought any illness could best him. I am so honored to have been a part of his journey. I will miss his wit and his smile. I treasure always his indomitable spirit. -Danyle Duke JON DAVID PACE, AUGUST 18, 2007 John brought so much happiness to our son Brian.
