As a mother the worst fear i have is losing one of my children, however i never thought of what else could be in the same category, and losing John was one of them.
I am Johns ex-wife and the mother of his children, but John was also a very very dear friend of mine, I will miss him greatly, and remember him always.
This is a difficult time for all of us, not just for our kids but for the whole family, he was very loved and he will be in our hearts forever.
R.I.P. John... Love Dawn and your children

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of John. He was my student when in third grade and then again in 7th and 8th grades. He was "tough" - wouldn't back down from hardly anything....but also was honest and wanted to be treated with honesty and fairness. I talked to him several times when he came in for parent-teacher conferences as an adult and he was doing well. It is always rewarding to see former students and know they are responsible adults. It is sad to know I won't talk to him again.

You left left us peaceful memories.Your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, ,you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but as god calls us one by one,the chain will link again. I will always remember the child hood memories.
