Thanks,

John someone posted this on my facebook page and as i was reading this to Tom I could not read no more. This is for you my dearest friend and brother.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come with me"
With Tearful eyes I watched you, and saw you pass away,
Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating..hard working hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me..
HE ONLY......TAKES THE BEST....

Dearest Johnny,
I can't believe it's 2 years. I look at your alter every day...your pictures, our wedding, the pic of us on the couch holding each other and the plaque you made me of what cancer could never do. I read those words over and over and take great comfort from them because you told me they were ALL TRUE. Never a day goes by I don't burn incense or a candle for your memory. It helps me stay connected. Thank you for still being there for me in your own way.. I feel you all the time. You are truely the one Fotiathis that one could count on and I'm glad you were my Fotiathis for as long as you were...they are and remain the best of times.
I teach the Grey your favorite phrases. Of course her name is of a Greek Goddess. It's nice to hear her say...whatever or April fools (one of my favs)or good day...want a tea?.....the Grey loves that one as she barks like a dog and growels like a cat. I know you would have loved to teach her a few more phrases...Goddess knows what she'd say if you were here!! I can only imagine.
I miss you my baby. Our memories are the only things that last.
My Grey will say your fav stuff for another 60 years and some one who loved you will hear "your words" for a long time. I think you would have liked that.
I hope the Grey will give every one a "good day" and "cup of tea?" on your memorial day. So many friends who love you have already said they'd love to come again and are as enthusiastic as last year or more so. This year will be bigger my love and next year bigger again. You inspired such loyality in your true friends. Never seen the like baby...thru thick in thin they have stuck by you, me and the memory of your good, kind loving heart.
On the 4th look for the fire works my love they are for you.
Your Jo-Ann

June 21, 2009
My Dearest Brother,
It has been two years since you left us and I would of written sooner but just could not get myself to write, so now that I am here I would like to tell you that this time of year is very hard for me, for our closeness is always in my heart, and you are on my mind always. I will never forgot the times we had spent together, good or bad, because those are the memories I have of you. I pray for you every day and I know that you can hear me, I just wish that I could hear you once again. My heart is broken and tears will fall when I think of you. I miss you terribly and love you. I hope you can see all the love that is here for you. I miss you. Tommy

I was just thinking about you as I do almost every day. I miss you so much. Look down and help us as a family to love one another. I know you would be happy that things are better now around here. I have worked hard to straighten things out for myself and Jacob and every one who depends on me to be there for them. I can't be there for any one if not for the fellowship. Look down on your brother and bring him peace from his grief. I pray for him every day. He loves you so much.
I know you are there for all of us John. I will always love you. Your unforgetable my love.

I still feel your presence Johnny.
I know you saw how much you are loved last weekend during your memorial....so many family and friends were there. My appreciation to all those who came to celebrate your life Johnny. We had a wonderful time....telling "John" stories, talking with each other, crying and laughing with each other. I know you were watching from above and saw how much you are still loved by those who came to honor your 1 year passing.
Thank you to the family and friends who helped make this a success.
Special thanks to April for helping set up and clean up later. Auntie Anna and Heather for crying with me. We made a wet time of it LOL.
Tom for comming when I know Sat is a busy day for him. The enormous support shown by John's friends.
I intend to do it again next year. Know one will or could forget you John.
Remaining your love.

Joanne and all of Johnny's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. As you all know Johnny was one of my dearest friends. I missed him when I left Mass. But was grateful I was able to speak to him before his leaving us. I was able to tell him I loved him, and how very special he will always be to me.
I know what a loving man he was, his gentle ways, His laughter, his practical jokes, His love for music, life and friends, but most of all family. He was never so proud of anything in life as he was of his heritage and all loved ones. It was an Honor and a Pleasure to have been a part of his life and to have him be part of our family and our lives. He will truly be missed, but forever loved. So, our condolences to you joanne, april, Stevie, and all his family and children. You will all be in our prayers. God Bless.

i miss you more than you will ever know.
i remember one of the times we were talkin and you told me
'you were glad you met us(my mom and i) before anything happened.
and i kept thinking...
'would it have been easier on me if we hadnt met 9 years ago?'
well i found out that
no grandpa it would not. im SOOO glad i met you.
you changed my life in so many ways i cant even say. you were and still are an AMAZING person. you helped me cope when my dad passed away, and i thank you again.you are in heaven with him now so i know im lucky to have the two BEST gaurdian angels ANYONE can ask for.
and even though you THOUGHT you were god... i guess you are now going to have to share the spotlight! im sure thats okay though!
you touched SO MANY hearts in SO MANY ways. you could NEVER understand how much you really meant to me or anyone else grandpa.i loved you unconditionally and i ALWAYS will. i am a part of you and that makes me VERY proud to be able to say that.
you and i had a bond that can NEVER be replaced... you were not just a grandfather, just a dad, just an uncle, just a husband, just a brother, grandpa you were a BEST friend. you could ALWAYS make me laugh no matter how down i was. you could put a smile on my face just by grabbing my hand, or saying 'i love you'
my last moments with you were(and im sooo happy to say this) IRREPLACEABLE, AMAZING, WONDERFUL, ..... PERFECT!
you grabbed my hand held me sooo close and sooo tight and called me your little baby. you kissed my cheek and said heather...i love you.
and when you said those words and held me close it felt sooo real soo comforting, and i loved it! i loved you. we will always love you and never forget how wonderful and kind u were. always in our hearts and souls. may you always rest in peace. xoxo forever and always.
LOVE,
your grandaughter,
heather

Dad,
I still can't believe you aren't here to say "get me my tea" Samara and I drank one together for you. ...I heard your voice today and for half a second my heart leaped thinking you are here............you will always be in my heart as you always have been. The memories i have with you are priceless and will be cherished as long as my heart still beats. I know you made me promise not to be sad but my heart is hurting right now, i hope you understand. you were an incredible man that all your family and friends are missing now and who love you dearly. i know you are in heaven now with all those others that are dear to us. take care of my brother and wayne for me as i know they will be there for you. i am keeping my 3 promises to you. i love you dad and will see you one day soon.
Your Daughter

Jo-Ann, Tommy and all John's family - I extend my deepest sympathy and condolensces for the loss of your husband, brother and friend. I know that he was well loved by each of you. Now you feel grief and sorrow at his passing; however, remember that John is not suffering anymore and he has found peace. There was something a friend said to me when my fiance passed in early February - "Earth has NO sorrow that HEAVEN cannot heal." For whatever reason, I found great solace in that. I hope and pray that it may give you one second of peace and serenity. I pray the peace, love and light of God be with each and every one of you at this time of grief and sorrow. With Love,

John I only meet you once but I feel like I have known you forever. You had been a friend to one of my best friends for 20 years and only good things were ever said about you. What a wonderful person you must have been to have so many people who truly loved and cared for you.
