John Travolta has thanked the Florida community where his family has a home for its support following the tragic death of his 16-year-old son Jett.

John, his wife Kelly Preston and their daughter Ella sent a letter through their attorney to the local newspaper in Ocala, FL. "The enormous amount of love, support and condolence we have received from this community has been most humbling. Comforting words, thoughts and prayers of Ocala's citizens have made an impossibly painful situation, a little less painful," says the letter in the Ocala Star-Banner.

"The actions of Ocala's community leaders, its law enforcement professionals, our neighbors at Jumbolair and its surrounding communities have offered us the dignity to grieve the loss of our son and Ella's brother in peace. For this we will always be grateful," the letter says.

"In parting, we want all of you to cherish your loved ones and your friends like there was no tomorrow, to live your lives to the fullest by continuing to help one another, and to be true to yourselves. - Love John, Kelly and Ella."
