Our dearest John, It is hard to believe we will never again see your smiling face. Your kindness and soft demeanor will be forever etched on our memories. You were our friend, but we loved you like a Father. Your friendship knew no bounds. We rejoice with you, in your new found home. You have spent you life preparing to go home to your Father and now you join Him. You leave behind, not just your family, but a world full of people who are all better for having known you. To Josie, Anthony, Joey, Sean and Jennifer, we join you in your sorrow. To John and family we sympathize with your loss. John leaves behind not just the legacy of a beautiful family, but a world full of people who's lives are better for having known him. Rest in Peace dearest John, you have earned the right to be with Your Lord Jesus Christ. While our sorry feels endless, our joy for your blessed soul knows no bounds. Goodbye dear friend, pray for us here on earth.
