Lorraine,
I know your heart is crushed with the loss of your honey. You did all you could at his bedside until the very end. I am so very proud of you and admire your strength. What you will always remember is his laugh, his cooking, his love for Frank Sinatra, and your slow dancing alone in the living room. You are loved and will never be alone! Continue to smile, live, love, and laugh! Today is all we have.
Deepest condolences to John's family members and friends.

Dear Lorraine and Awbrey Family: I am so very sorry for your loss.

Many of us who played football, shared good times, and studied with John at Don Bosco will always remember him as a true and loyal friend...and we were indeed glad he was our friend.

We will never forget his quiet yet intense demeanor; his big heart and love for sports and of life.

I am honored to have known John and am forever grateful to him for so positively shaping our lives.

We will always remember him well.

God Bless.
