Sorry for your loss. I remember taking the boys home and you (John) being there to get them and standing there talking. The funniest time was when the people at the end of the block were fighting and John said "well there goes the couch I just hope they throw the table next cause I sure would love to have it". John was always and good guy and loved his kids to the fulliest. We will miss you John but your in a better place and I know your looking down at us and saying "I got to Heaven and it is alot better than Quincy"

John, honey i can't stop crying-I kno you don't like it when i cry but the most precious thing in the world was taken from me.I'm gunna miss you so much.I was so mad at God friday for taking you away but then i had to refocus from my selfishness and thank him for setting you free from all the pain ya went thru.I will never forget the tears we cried together when we found out about the cancer and how you held me and said you'd go thru anything just to have another day w/ me..we finally found the deepest love anyone could have and it stinks we didn't have much time to live in.You was my best friend and when you left, you took me w/ you.So where i layed you to rest, don't make alot of noise cuz the ppl beside you are very old but they will love yor company as i did.Keep a watch over me my angel cuz this is so hard..I will be there someday right beside you and we can catch up on all the hugs...i love you John Clowers so much and my heart will hurt til i'm w/ you again
