Johnny,
You once told me that, no matter what, you and I would always be family. For that I am honored and thankful. Then, now, and forever.

For Vicki, Dave and Sharon, Ruth, David, and all the rest of the family, my most heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

Life is a precious and fragile gift, lasting but for one sweet moment in the span of eternity. Unconditional love and cherished memories, however, knows no bounds, and can endure forever.

Dear Sharon and Family.
My condolences to you. I am at a loss for words. Maybe it's because there are none that would adequately describe what it's like to lose someone you love. Together, and with the support of family and friends we will get through this most difficult time.

Sincerely,
Darren and family.

Dear Vicki,
I am so sorry for your loss. John was a great guy and lots of fun to be around. I guess in a way it was me that put the two of you together as employees of the sub shop. Strange how things happen. You and your family will be in my prayers.
