Travoltas Speak on Jett's Passing

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have released this statement on the passing of their son Jett:

"We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences. Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us a hope for a brighter future."

With love,
John, Kelly and Ella

196. On #48 Natasha; Do you know your "religion" in Europe and other parts of the world is forbidden by law? Makes you wonder....ohhh, we're just crazy and you've seen the light!
On your remark "religion doesn't kill people", watched the news recently? Read a newspaper? There are wars going on in different parts of this world and they ALL (ok, most of them) have to do with religion. So stop being such a dumb-ass!
I feel sorry for believers of a cult who cannot be who they want to, gay or straight, because of an allien. Get a life and be happy! It's just sad for this family and I agree this statement was kinda cold, but we don't know what's going on in this household and I think it's a shame this boy's illness wasn't treated the way it could have been because of the allien and being part of a cult (Matt Lauer/ Tom Cruise on medication). May he rest in peace.

198. "Angel On Loan From Heaven"

For those who leave comments about "a religion", that word has no meaning, It is God who gives us meaning, and these people do not know God, if they did, the tounge would stay put.

They have not yet been graced with an Angel, as they are not deserving!!

203. I am now 57 years old and am a cancer survivor. However, at age 12 I lost my 13 year old brother to Leukemia. My parents never forgot, but got through that devasting loss to help my sister and I grow to be productive adults. I am so very sorry for this loss in your family, the family 'mobile' will never be the same.. It was Jett's time to go to be at Jesus' right hand to help other 16 year olds make the transition from life, to life everlasting.

204. interesting~~~I read John I know your reading this, oh yes a day later he is on the internet reading this s---, give me a break, I hope he has time to read my next post and i hope others have time to read it, No one knows, we only think we know. Even if my shoes are close in size color and the walk each Angel is different. I am amazed at how ignorant the general PUBLIC truly is, (then again why , so many are brainwahed republicans)im sure the Travoltas Know it first hand, they have walked it. Thank the lord they have been graced by an Angel, HAVE YOU ???????

205. Angel On Loan From Heaven"
Some of us are gifted with these angels, when they first arrive we wonder why, until one day our grief is gone , and the truth is seen, and felt. We then see the message they have brought to us and others, the joy, of how the simplest things in life become so grand.This joy they bring us can not be purchased with any amount of gold. A rock, a word, a step or just a smile, become so huge. And make us thankful.
Now we with all this joy and grace they have given to us and others, it is gone. as sudden as it appeared. The lesson our gifted Angel brings to us and others. the presence of his wings have graced us and are etched in our Hearts forever.
My family and our Angel send our Prayers and Love to you, I knowing one day Our Angels wings will whisp with yours!!

207. John and Kelly- there are no words to console the pain that you are going through with the loss of your son, Jett. My deepest sympathy to both of you and your families. Only time can partially heal the pain and I'm just so sorry. I haven't been able to get you off my mind. Sincerely, Becky Coffey

208. I am truly sorry for the passing of Jett Travolta. However there are many unanswered questions about his care, meds, nannies and the fact that he did not hit his head in the bathroom. Autopsy confirmed that. He was 250 lbs 6'2 and no one heard him fall. Taking him off seisure meds is crazy because the body reacts negatively to that causing seisures to be more intense. Too many questions unanswered and probably will never be. Scientology is never the answer when it comes to the health and well being of the ill.
