2. No parent should have to bury their child, my prayers go to them during this time. Having to relive the moment has to be unbearable.

3. I have to say it, but as horrendous as it must be for John T. , he bears a huge burden for denying his son's disease and further denying his son's care. You can't cure autism by removing tethans for alien technology.

4. My thoughts and prayers are with John and Kelly during this difficult time. They lost their son and now they have to go through this. Stay Strong!

5. Has this poor family gone through enough???? If I where John I would be so broken hearted to have to talk about the horror of losing your son.

6. Where is it written that children must outlive their parents?
The death of anyone is tough to bear...but death is more a part of us than life...

9. if experiencing the death of their son wasn't terrible beyond belief, it's tragic that they are having to relive it. My heart goes out to them.

10. God bless them. Their beautiful child resides in Heaven.

11. Hey OneSPerson, I don't think anyone should be commenting on the care the Travolota's provided for their son. Simply because they didn't share his medical chart doesn't mean they weren't doing EVERYTHING in their power to provide the best life/healthcare for their child. Needless to say, not everything is shared in the media.

12. I can't believe the hurtful comments that some people make. It is obvious to me that these people are the ones that have yet to experience the loss of a dear loved one. Their day will come. I wonder how they would handle the voices of evil saying things about their deceased loved one. I have to say this. The Travolta's have my prayers. God Bless them and their beautiful daughter.

13. Very sad. There is a place in hell for those who want to profit from the death of a child.

14. They shouldn't have to go through this. Those people are guilty and they know it. John ....

15. Sad, people have to make a lot of split second decisions when someone is dying, I think John just wanted what was best for his son at the time, but second guessing where his son would receive better medical treatment was a key factor. As to the Asshole's who are trying to make money from this man & his wife, they should be shot & pissed on. Not necessarly in that order.
