His life was a journey. I believe he has embarked on another.

I will miss John greatly. He has been very good to me over the years and I have come to love him and think of him as my Step-Dad. When I was going through the hardest time of my life John took me out many a night and would just listen as I would ramble on. He would give me advice and tell me it was going to be ok.
Once when I was sick and needed to go to the hospital and my Mom could not get out of work John took me and sat there with me the whole time never leaving my side. More than once he would come to my house with food or something I needed when I was sick and unable to go out myself. He was a good man and always treated me as I was one of his own children.
I did not want John to pass on yet the last few months he was not living and as much as I will miss him I am glad he is no longer suffering and is in a better place.
John you will always be with me and I thank you for being in my life. Until I see you again in Heaven.
Love Stef
