    Having lost a brother and father within a year of each other – I know what they're going through. I do hope the press leaves them alone to grieve.

    My heart breaks for the Travolta family. Loosing a child is loosing part of one's self, the pain is excruciating. Be kind to yourselves, membership in this club hurts.

    Very sad situation, and yes he looks very much like his father and mother both. I pray the best for them to be able to remember all the great times and allow that to get them through the hard ones.

    May God bless you family, and make joyous and happy days out of the heartbreaking ones.

    Oh my goodness, that's like looking at a young John Travolta.. they have such a fabulous looking family, and what great parents they are. They have never been in the "spotlight" they've always put their children first and have raised such fine young people.

    God Bless the Travolta family during this ordeal, and let's all give our love for the outstanding time we've all been blessed by Jett being with us and much love to John & Kelly my heart goes out to you.
