I felt I should sign my brother's guestbook, but everyday I have put it off. How do you take a deep breath & do such a final thing when you can't even believe he is gone? Even entering his name in the search to pull up his obituary seemed so silly & superficial... obituary for my brother?... it just can't be. It's not right, he should be here. I could have NEVER imagined a pain this deep. A feeling of such great emptiness & a sorrow which seems to have no end. My heart aches everytime i see my brother's beautiful smile or hear his delightful laugh because the heaviness of him no longer being in this world is truly overwhelming, to say the least. We all miss him so much. His birthday was August 23. He was looking forward to what mom had planned for him that day. It makes me so sad he didn't get to enjoy it. I always prayed that God would bless John's life. I have to believe he is in a better place. I hope so, I could suffer missing him for the rest of my life as long as he is ok. I am so angry that my brother only got to live 37 years & a heart attack took him away. I just feel so sorry for him. For 32 years I had the simple comfort of having a big brother. But now I have to accept a life without him. I am so fortunate to have experienced that comfort & the bond he & I shared. For most all of my childhood memories are one big memory of John & the crazy fun we had! He was a character & there will never be another like him! Honest to goodness, the man should have been a comedian! There are no words for the loss of his life, no words. Our family, his friends & all those close to him will never be the same. My mother lost a part of herself when she lost John. With her son gone, she will never be whole. I hurt for her so much, I feel so bad for Bri & I ache for John & what he may have went through before he died. It is a helpless feeling. I worry about him everyday but I know if he could he would tell me he was ok. He would ask me to take care of "Mama" & his "baby girl". He would probaby ask me to tell dad something &, knowing John, the list would go on & on... he'd be worried about us all! I love my brother & will miss him forever.

""I Will Love You Forever""
I’ve never known a love like ours
Nor thought it could be true,
But every time I touch your hands
I feel what love can do
With eyes like pearls
And lips so tender,
Each moment with you
Makes my heart surrender
I couldn’t live, I couldn’t breathe
Without you by my side,
Never will I let you go,
My love will never hide
And in my heart you’ll always be
From now until forever,
No matter what, no matter where
We’ll always be together

I have known John many years from school and then running into him here and there after school. He was always fun to be around. I truly had him on my mind Monday (just that I hadn't seen him in a while) and then to hear about this yesterday at Stacy's Memorial service. And yes, as Rhonda mentioned earlier, we now have quite a few more guardian angels looking over us. Tina had just enough time to get things ready for him, Donald, and Stacy. =) I pray for peace and understanding for your whole family during this time. God Bless!

John holds a special place in my heart. He was in one of the first classes that I taught in Franklin County. He was smart and full of wonderful ideas. He was one of my favorite students whom I have never forgotten. I am very sorry for your loss and I wish that I could have told John how he made one of my first years of teaching a very rewarding one.

Words can't express what John has meant to me. John has been a part of my life for 23 years either by personal contact or in remembrance of something we did in the past.
John had a charm about him like no one else. Anyone who knew John would say he could make you laugh in a minute. He definitely could entertain a room full of people with his personality. All of us who knew John well will always have great memories of him. He was one who stood out from the rest.
My heart goes out to his family and Lisa.
