It's been one year since you have been gone. I can't believe it has been that long since I heard your voice, seen your smile or heard you laugh . And I still cannot believe I will never see or hear any of those again. I hope you have found peace in Heaven..love you always, Jennifer xoxo

It has been one year. In some ways it has been the longest year I've known, but, like today, I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by and here it is, the one year anniversary of your passing has arrived. I have a feeling that you are around us today and you will try to lighten the mood by sending humorous incidents in our direction. I can see you now with that mischievous smile and that sparkle in you eye...things that I will never forget about you. You have left such an empty place in our lives and our hearts hurt, but we can take comfort because we were a part of your life - through all of the good and all of the not so good. We knew unconditional love and for THAT, I am grateful.
Rest in peace, Johnny.

Johnny,
Soon you will be gone a year, but I will always miss you and love you with all my heart. I close my eyes and see that funny smile you would always give me when you did something wrong, but you always knew that I loved you with all my heart.

Thinking of my nephew during this Thanksgiving Holiday. I think about you all the time and I will never forget you. You were a great guy and God took you much too early. But this family has a lot of good memories of you. John, you were one of a kind and I hope you are finally resting in peace. Love you, Aunt Netta

Today I give thanks to you for showing me many things...for sharing in my joys as well as my pains. I thank God for blessing me with you as my brother. I am blessed to have had you in my life through both the good and bad and I miss having someone that shared these things with me...only you really could understand. You are in my everyday thoughts and will always be in my heart.

My dearest son, I cry everyday missing you and I wish I could hold you in my arms again. You were such a beautiful baby and I love you with all my heart and soul. God, how I miss you, but some day I will be with you again. Please forgive me, I truly love you and never stopped...Love You, Mom
July 1, 2014
Dear Johnny,everytime I look at your children I would like for them to see you as a little baby and kid,so going through my albums I know you are smiling about this,especially the ones when you were missing teeth.I wish you were here trying to show me how to work the computer.I would give anything to give you the biggest hug.Tell your mom mom and pop pop I said hello. Nancy (your moms old friend)
June 30, 2014
Dear Johnny,I remember holding you as such a tiny baby,you were so adorable.When I got my first computer you came over at least 10 times to get it going where I could understand it.Only about 2 weeks went by and I messed up so of course I called you and you said the only way you would come over was if I made you a large salami sandwich,which of course I did.I never bought salami in my life but Johnny said I did good !He was an awesome kid,teenager,man,husband and Daddy.I loved that you called me Aunt Nancy until you got a bit too old. I loved you then and I love you and miss you now. I thank Jen for all the pics she puts up.So many memories.

John,
Yesterday was your birthday, I hope you like the balloons we sent you. We love you and miss you so much...this month has been especially tough without you. JC finished middle school..you would be so proud of what he has accomplished. Nicolette had her dance recital and Cammy is growing so fast. I know you are so proud of all of them...they miss their daddy so much. I really just want to give up most days, but I know you would want me to do that. Love you and miss you lots...Happy Birthday..Love, Jennifer, JC, Nicolette and Cameron xoxo

Little Brother,
To think of you in past tense is so hard for me...I don't understand why, but who am I to question God. Your passing has left all of us shaking our heads. Every morning when I open my eyes, I feel as if I woke from a horrible dream only to realize that the nightmare is real. I love you. I miss you. I will never let a day go by without thinking about you. A piece of me is missing. Tina
January 5, 2014
We love you Daddy!
January 4, 2014
My dearest John,
I still cannot believe you are gone. It seems like a bad dream. I am missing you terribly and am so lost without you! I want you to know I will do my best to raise our children right and make you proud, though I know you always have been proud of them. The outpouring of support we have received shows me just how special you were to a lot of people. Reading these messages gives me comfort as I try to get through each day. We will love you and miss you forever, you truly were one of a kind. Until we meet again, love you, Your loving wife and children xoxo xoxo xoxo xoxo

To My Precious Nephew,
There has always been a special place for you and Tina in my heart. But now that place is overflowing with love and is hurting. You were such a special nephew. There has not been a day since you left us that I have not thought of you and every hereafter you will be in my prayers. Your wife and children also hold a special place right next to you in my heart which right now is aching. You are now one of God's angels and we all know that you, Mom Mom and Pop Pop are watching over us. You have always been a very special person. I love you and miss you very much.

John went through so much this past year, he is finally at peace. I am so sorry, my friend Jen, that you and the kids have to endure this. You are a great Mom and we will help you through this.

Everyone that knew my brother will agree that what you saw was what you got. He was genuine in the fact that he never pretended to be something he wasn't. He loved his children and his wife and I knew that he loved me. I will miss him every day and will not be the same without him. He and I shared many life changing events and had many memories...some that we laughed about and some that we cried about. He was my little brother...my only brother...and a piece of my heart follows him. I am grateful to have had him in my life and I am honored to say that I truly got to know him. Johnny...I love you and hope that you are with MomMom and PopPop watching over us. Until we see each other on the other side...goodbye.
December 28, 2013
Will never forget that infectious smile. Rest in peace John
