Not sure what to say?

My dearest big brother, it all seems like a dream but I know it's real. There are no goodbyes for us because I feel you with me every day and I carry you in my heart. You will be deeply missed. Until we meet again I love you.

Dear Andrée,
We were so saddened by the news of uncle John's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Matthew and James in this difficult time. Cherish the memories. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. We hope to see you all again soon.

Dear Andree,
Gord and I were very saddened to hear about the loss of John. It's been many years since we've been in touch, but we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons.

Dear Andree
We are very sorry to hear about the loss of John. He will be missed dearly first by his family and friends and also by all of his co-workers, especially those who worked with him at Senneville. John was really pleasant to work with, very polite, helpful and always smiling. Whenever I remember John, I imagine him in his clean white lab coat close to his microscopes which he was very proud of. Our sincere condolences and God bless John and his family. Khalid and...

Dear Andree, Mathew, and James,

I am saddened by the news of John's passing. It has been many years but my memories of John, and you too Andrée, are of kind and caring people with a profound love for one another. Cancer is unfair and a cruel robber of precious time on earth. My condolences to you Andrée and to all of the Burnside family (hey Bill) at this sad time.

My sincere condolences. Johnno was the nicest person I've had the privilege to know. He epitomized the traits we all look for: empathy, honesty, integrity and kindness. He adored Andree all of his life,was totally committed to her and I'm sure he was the best father a person could hope for. I am so sorry for your loss. It was an honor to be his friend. Thinking of you during this very difficult time. All my love, Christine Tanzer

Jacques and I will miss John so very much. He was a great neighbor/friend to both of us. His good nature and kindness will always be remembered. RIP John...Christina & Jacques♥

it was quite the ride little brother see you on the other side
