Nicole we were so sorry to hear about John's death. My husband Frank Schaefer worked at the school in Ft. Salonga. He really liked John. You and John's Mother are in our prays. I really feel bad for her ,she has lost 2 sons very close together. I know what it is like to lose your child. I lost my son Tommy 5 years ago . And it still hurts.
Again you and the children are in our prays.
Sincerely,
Frank and Sandra Schaefer

I have known John since we were babies. He was the big brother I never had. He taught me to ride a bike and he gave me his old green bike. A treasured memory I will always keep in my heart. I can remember the Kiss concerts, we were all wrapped up in tinfoil,he always had to be Gene Simmons, Oh what fun we had. I always knew he was there for me, always looking out for me. I am forever greatful he had found Nicole, who loved him so,and together, they had such a wonderful life, and family. I am so happy for the fact he experienced Fatherhood, something he did with so much love in his heart. His memory lives on in Angela and Katie, please keep his memory alive for their sakes. I will miss you John, I always knew a visit to my parents would also be a visit from you, Nicole and Angela. I loved you, but never got a chance to tell you so, we get so caught up in our own lives. I will miss you, and you will always be in my heart. Beth

Oue deepest, deepest condolences to Nicole and Johnny's little girls. The world lost a good man, and we will miss chatting on the front lawn with him. He always had a wave and smile to greet us with when we arrived next door.
