    Not me crying from frustration with the "pop the trunk". I lost my aunt during my senior year of HS. I remember coming to my teacher after class to let her know I would be out and apologize. She stopped me and said "baby dont you ever apologize for being human, take your time"

    I know this sounds weird, but thank you for letting us grieve with you. I feel like I’ve known y’all for 15 years so Jason’s passing was like losing a cousin that I’ve never seen for real. So weird. I’m sure most people in this community wanted to hug you and cry with you but didn’t know how…until today (and yesterdays video with Kev & Liss). 😭 Real tears, ya hear? Thank you again for sharing your grief with us. Love y’all. ❤

      The death of a legendary cousin is exactly how I’d describe Jason and our relationship to the OnStages is felt by them. Happy to be in community while we grieve. It doesn’t feel better but somehow I know deep down this how we are supposed to mourn… with each other 🫶🏽 May Jason rest in peace… until the day we all meet.

That's a great way to live. He went out on top, no regrets. He lived his life, raised his kids, and made an impact.

    Thank you for this episode. I'm so hurt by Jay's passing. I would respond to his funny insta posts and and he ALWAYS responded. When you all came to London on tour I sat about 3 rows away. I saw all of you but I was shy to come say hello. I mentioned this to him on insta and he was like ' You should've come to say hello!'
    I felt invested in knowing he was doing well after his diagnosis and when he was in remission a few weeks ago I was like YES GOD!!!!
    I am SO SO SORRY 😥 and I can only imagine what his beloved wife , children, grandchildren, friends and family are going through. I'm sorry. This cuts deep. I pray you find comfort. Please Lord🙏🏽

My children and I decided to preserve and review some VHS tapes my mom had. OMG....one of the Thanskgiving tapes had my mom, uncle (who was like a brother), grandmother and aunt in it. They're all resting now. We also had that cry/laugh moment. To hear them laughing and loving is a moment in will take to grave with me. Take those pictures, make those memories.

    Losing my dad last year has literally turned my whole world upside down, I've lost other people close to me but my dads passing really messed me up. Grief brings out so much things you didn't even know existed and not having the tools or knowing you even need tools to deal with it can mess you up real bad. It has affected my health(mentally and physically) to the point where I just recently left my job without a back up plan because I really just need time to heal and rest.

      My dad passed last year unexpectedly. It really did a number on not just me but my family as well. It’s the first time I had to deal with someone so so close to me passing. Everyday I think about him & find myself in a dark place. Prayer & some amazing people are what helps me to keep it together. I know it’s hard for you. Remember that it’s okay for you to feel what you’re feeling. No one can put a time limit on grieving. For the time being check out some at home jobs. There are quite a few legit ones online. Get you a journal and when you feel yourself getting overwhelmed start to write down everything you’re feeling. Know that I am praying for you. You got this!!!

Everything y'all said about Jason, we got a glimpse of that through "Club Periscope", Playmakers, heck his IG page with al the hilarious content he posted, etc. I'm hurting with y'all! I love the stories! I love the closeness of y'all relationships. I love the "Act like you Belong" mentality (That's been sticking with me!!) I just love y'all and I'm praying that God carries everyone who was connected to Jay through this difficult season. xoxoxo

    As a daughter who lost her father, one of my aunts stepped up and in. She helped handle things very similarly to the way that Mel described Melissa & Kevin’s strength in the midst of tragedy and trauma. I can only imagine how hard it was for them! But, let me just say (as someone who has been on the “receiving end” of the strength & support), there are no words to adequately articulate what that display of “love and strength and God” means! It’s immeasurable! Sending so much love to the entire family!

    Last memory of Jay that keeps playing back in my mind: the week before he passed, on your final stop of the Marriage Be Hard booktour, when you were in Houston on stage and took a call from JoJo about his team tryouts and we said hi to him and you turned the phone around and was like "and Uncle Jay is here!" and Jason and Tami were sitting up front to the left of me. He went through his diagnosis around the time my mom did. Was so thankful for his recovery. Praying for y'all.

    Me: I ain't a killer but don't push me.
    But my horns (Taurus ♉️) came out IMMEDIATELY when you started the story about Joe's teacher. I was already still feeling a way about Ms Nigeria at the mall and then this insensitive ass teacher. Yeah I love God but I still cuss!
    I've been sad and emotional since I saw Kev announce Jason's passing weeks ago. As if I knew or met him in person. Again I offer what I can...prayers, condolences, empathy, love, and light for what is to become your new normal. Big Mama Hugs to all of you.

    You all are so right about the videos and pictures of our loved ones. When my mom passed and I found a video of her holding my daughter and having the biggest laugh. It just made me so happy. Sending continued prayers and strength to all that loved your brother. ❤️❤️❤️

    My LORD, I listen to you all so often! My sincere condolences to the entire family. I would like to suggest (as though) someone hasn't already thought about some merch with the saying "Act like you're supposed to be here!" I would buy it and so would so many others. I do feel like I'm in the family. Thank you so much for loving us enough to share. Your fresh take on so many moments is LOVE personified.

    This had me boohooing. Thank you for sharing this intimate moment of reflection with us. We all felt this because we really are family. I identify as the cousin in Atlanta. It’s so refreshing to see you all continue to be authentically human. Thank you, all of you are the most amazingly fierce people.

    People will show you their true intentions during times like this. When my dad passed away, one of the first calls I got was “hey sis. So sorry about your dad. But yeah…I’m working on a play and I was wondering if you could read it…” I literally moved to another whole state when my mom passed two years later so y’all wouldn’t see me on the news. Cause I WISH somebody woulda tried that…
    Thank you for the trigger warning too. My brother was one of Jason’s biggest fans and he had to leave the room. And thank you for your openness and being transparent. I loved this episode SO MUCH! RIP Jason. We miss you ❤❤

    You did GOODT Liss advocating for Jo! Awesome job! I'm glad the teacher owned it and realized that her "seasoned" self ain't perfect and to remain humble and not just assume stuff and take it out on students who are not able to defend themselves against "adults". GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

    Love you guys. I'm so sorry for this devastating heartbreak. Losing a sibling is so wrong and unnatural. Thank you for sharing this moment and showing people how to carry grief together. May God's life giving and healing presence be a balm over the shattered places and a light in the dark moments
