Our Dear Friends Ball In The House
Dear Mr. Testa and Ms. Lines

Mary McManus & New World Greeting Cards(Dedicated an original poem to Jason).

A Celebration of Jason Testa
Although your birthday was last week we should celebrate all year 'round
'Cuz Jason you're the most amazing man in all the world that can be found.
Loving, kind and gentle, you'd give the shirt right off your back
Despite all of your surgeries, you never felt a sense of lack.
Complaining or self pity – they're not words for you
You inspire every one you meet with happiness that's shining through.
With the cards that you've been given, you could just sit and moan
You've exceeded all expectations – a miracle to the world you've shown.
Caring, joyful, funny and what a creative mind
A water park – not tumors – in your brain is what we'll find.
You define the word courageous – an earth angel some might say
Your Spirit is aflame with hope that lights our journey's way.
DVD's and wrestling are passions that you share
Your purpose and your mission to bring love, light and care.
A smile that's infectious, Hawaiian shirts – what style – what flair
Amidst the bleak mid-winter, tropical colors you choose to wear.
Your beautiful shining aura is a blessing to all you meet
Your customers at Wal-Mart are always in for a wonderful treat.
Family, friends and strangers – everyone will agree
Their lives are changed by knowing you, God's grace for all to see.
Thank you for the gift of you- for all you do and are
Magnificent and marvelous God's radiant shining star.
Destination Hope (Jason's postcard project)
*Last summer we teamed up with the 11:11am Charity when Jason was undergoing brain sugery. They launched a postcard project in support of Jason. Jason received greeting cards/postcards from all over the world from friends who heard Jason's story and wanted to reach out. We would like to thank Adam and the entire 11:11am team for your love & support.
