To my John Michael on his second anniversary,
I hope with all my heart that you are sleeping as peacefully as that funny two-year-old I fondly remember -- holding Bert and Ernie in each of your hands and snuggling a fuzzy brown bunny under your arm. All my love till we meet again, Mom

Hey Baby,
I cannot believe it has already been a year. We use to have a hard time if we were apart for only a few days. So you can imagine.
You are and always will be the love of my life, my best friend. One thing I miss the most is our late night chats. I always laugh when I think of my two peas in a pod so happy just because they are together. I thank God for our little man. He has kept me going…and going and going... :) He is your boy!
You are forever in our hearts where you will live on...
Forever & Always,
Kara & Nikolas

Hey Baby,
Happy Father's Day!
You are so loved, there isn't a day that you are not missed and talked about! Nothing is the same without you by our side. Did you see our little man...He's HUGE! Nikolas had his first show at school last week. His class sang Mr. Sun and they all had sun masks that they made themselves. It was too cute! We miss you Daddy!
Our Love Always,

Dearest Nikolas,
Your daddy was my baby boy, just like you are your daddy's baby boy. He was always a bundle of energy and was a sweet and loving little boy. His favorite toys when he was a baby were his brown bunny and his three little figures of Bert, Ernie and Big Bird that he would hold in his fists while falling asleep in his crib. He couldn't sleep without them. After leaving them at Dr. Cilento's office one night, we always bought extra packages to keep on hand just in case he lost them again. He always loved music and superheroes, Star Wars and baseball cards. He loved being a cub scout and was a wonderful altar boy. When he was in Little League, he won the Rookie of the Year trophy and he was so proud. He was a handful in school and always kept his teachers on their toes. His favorite baseball player was Ricky Henderson. His favorite football player was Dan Marino and his favorite basketball player was Michael Jordan. I know that when you are in Little League and soccer, your daddy will be there with you for every game. Your daddy was a very generous and loving boy. He was very affectionate and funny. When he was in the sixth grade at St. Paul's School, he won the spelling bee. I'll never forget the shocked look on his face when he was the last student standing. It was one of the funniest moments I can remember. There were alot of happy, funny times like that and I will tell them all to you as you get older. Your daddy loved you and your mommy very much, Nikolas. He will always be with you right inside your heart. And we will always be with you, too. You have a very large and loving family who love you so much. We are as proud of you as your daddy was in all those wonderful pictures of him holding you when you were a baby. Look into his eyes in those pictures and see and feel all the love he felt for you. It will always be there. I love you, Nikolas. Love and Kisses, Nana

i was there since kindegarten when he was still John Kennedy. We also had Gerald Ford and Abraham Lincoln Botball in that class. Ms. Friees. Choice company. Hino and I started hanging out again in high school. I remember thr "Hino Chant" that resembled the Atlanta Braves tomahawk chant whenever he was around. we would make mix tapes that would be the soundtrack to those parties. we would meet at midnight on school nights, walk and sneak into Pat Nugent's house in a snowstorm, and sleep there just 2 see Nuge's mom's reaction in the morning. When everyone else was eating doritos he was eating raw pasta (I still can't figure that one out). we grew up 2gether and became men 2gether. we fought, we argued, we would go periods without talkin' to eachother, but we would take those periods apart and grow. Then we'd find eachother again and it was tho nothing changed. If we were together thru all the times we were apart, it would have been tough to grow because we were one.We dressed alike, we listened to the same music, we said the same things. We said we were brothers, and in every right, we were. we were two grown men who weren't afraid to hug eachother whenever we could. We were two grown men who weren't afraid to say that we loved one another. We were two grown men that knew whereever our roads took us, we knew they'd always meet at the end. He was there through the trials and tribulations of my daughter, he called my mother "Mom". He's the one who called me to tell me that Jason and Treston died, and never left my side for 4 days after. He introduced me to the Doors. We recited Cypress Hill and sang stupid songs on my guitar together. As most of you, there are things only him and I have and will ever have. We WERE family, and brothers, and Best friends. No other friend in my life cared about me like him and I am more than proud to say the same. "We live, we die, and death not ends it..."-Jim Morrison. He was in my life for 29 years and I wouldn't have it any other way......

Dear Nikolas ~ I have lived in Florida for many years, and unfortunately didn't get to see much of your Daddy as he grew into a Man but, I know He was a Loving , Funny and Gentle Man. Shortly after you were born, your Parents brought you for a visit to your Grandma Karens House.I was there that day and I never saw your Daddy as Happy as he was introducing us to his Beautiful Son. He beamed with Joy of his Love for you. Nikolas, you are your Daddys Shining Star, his Greatest Joy and his most Cherished Love. Always remember that as you grow , and know always that you have many Aunts , Uncles and Cousins on your Daddys side of your Family who only want the best in Life for you. I hope we can always stay close regardless of miles , but as a Family. We are all here for you , and your Mommy , always. Love,xoxoxo Auntie Donna in Florida

Dear Nikolas, I want you to know how much your Daddy loved you. I have never seen him more proud as the day you were born and every day after. You are his greatest accomplishment, you could see it every time he looked at you. Remember how much he loved you and how much we loved your Daddy. All my Love, Auntie Debbie, your Daddy's Fairy GodMother

I babysat for John a lot and he would love for me to read to him. I used to kid him and call him "Toots Marie Alice", and he would say, no, I am John Michael! He always had a smile on his face and that little glimmer of, watch out, here I come. I wish I was around more as he grew up. I will always cherish and remember that sweet little boy. I miss you and Love you John and I know that you are watching over that perfect little boy who has your smile and glimmer.

Dear Nikolas,
I never saw your Daddy as happy as the day you were born. We were in the hospital for over 5 days and he probably slept 2hrs total. He didn't want to let you go. He never did. He was sad leaving you to go to work every morning. Sometimes he would get up early to spend time with you and put you back to sleep before he left. He'd make me promise to try to schedule your nap times so he could spend as much time with you as possible before you had to go to bed for the night. You and your Daddy had such a special relationship. You were a Daddy's boy from day one. Every night no matter what you were doing you would just start running to the front door, you knew your Dada was home. As soon as the door would open, your Daddy couldn't even get in the door. He would kneel down, and say "Hi, Buddy" and you would give him a big kiss on the lips. Then your Daddy would stand up carrying you and all his gear from work that day. You would grab his Red Sox hat off his head and put it on your own, but backwards. You were so excited. The only point in time you would let him put you down was when he was trying to take off his workboots, because you had to help. Then the two of you would walk to the hall closet (you fumbling because the boots weighed almost as much as you) Daddy would open the door and you would place his boots, right where they belonged. Then his lunch bag, every night that was another struggle, you refused to let go. There is so much of your Father in you. I see it more each day. You always share (even with Lucca), you like things to be organized...your way, and you like to clean! Mama likes that one, especially. I see your father in your eyes. You are a very lucky boy, your Daddy loved you more than anything in this world. He lives on in you and will always be with you, looking out for his baby boy. Mama will keep telling you stories every day as long as you let me. I promise. xoxo

Mama

I was sent a card that I thought was beautiful:
A leaf is released
from the arms of a tree
to glide through the air...
now totally free...
A journey to make -
a good-bye to us all...
a beautiful brilliance
we'll always recall.
I'd like to ask any family and friends if they could post a story or memory that comes to mind when you think of Johnny, so that our son, Nikolas can hear/read about his dad.
Thank You in advance,
...Kara

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life ( Im sure this is what John would want those of us who loved him to do ) Johns ~ Aunt Donna

Hino, "Hear my voice when I call, O Lord. be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior." --Psalms 27:7-9
We miss you kid! You will be in our Prayers daily.

My prayers are with you and yours at your time of loss. Words cannot even begin to define how he will be missed. I had the pleasure of knowing John for many years. He always spoke lovingly of his family. The love he had for his girlfriend and child was touching. May he rest in peace now as his journey has been long and hard. My prayers are with you.

There's a valley somewhere where there is no pain
The sky's always blue and it never rains
The grass is so soft and the colors so true
And tho your not here I'm thinking of you
I walk with my loved ones and those I hold dear
We laugh and we smile and there's never a tear
Its beautiful here and the day never ends
I'm always surrounded by loved ones and friends
Of course I miss you as I know you miss me
But it was time that i came here, someday you'll see
I think of you often with a smile on my face
Knowing all of you someday will come to this place
Don't cry in sadness or grief nor despair
There's no place on earth that with here can compare
No wars, no sickness, no hunger or hate
I can't wait to see you, but don't hurry, I'll wait
So someday when your tired and your smile grows dim
And your losing the hope that was always within
Look toward the heavens, you can see through the rain
Walk with me in the valley where there is no pain {This poem was sent to me by a dear friend to help me cope with recent losses.I hope it brings you some peace and comfort.} Love you all.

Dear Karen, Kelly and Family,
We are extremely saddened and shocked to hear of John's passing. Although we have not been in touch in recent years, we do think of you and your family often. Please know that you are all in our prayers. We recently suffered the loss of my husband and one thing that keeps us going is to know that Heaven is a much better place.

Hi Kelly, I'm still trying to process this sad news and I know that you and your family are too. It is like skipping normally through life and then being tripped on a rock that you didn't see. Boom--you have to deal with it and make decisions and your regular life comes unexpectedly to a halt. Your friends and family will help you through this difficult time-lean on them and gather their strength. Please know that my tears mingle with yours. My thoughts and prayers and all good energy are with you at this difficult time. Much love, Karen
